Bully Jack Terrier History
The Bully Jack Terrier is a medium-sized hybrid or designer dog breed that was created in the 1990s by combining the temperament of the Bulldog with the physical characteristics of the Jack Russell Terrier. The Bull and terriers have been interbred for centuries, especially in England, where bulldogs were crossed with various terrier types, including the Scottish White, Fox, and Tan, as well as the Staffordshire Bullterrier. In 1997, the modern form of the Bully Jack was created by combining bloodlines from several different bull and terrier crosses. The designers of the bully jack, Richard and Susan Armstrong, named the hybrid after the Old English term “bull and jack”, which is a reference to the two dogs most commonly used for baiting bulls, the bull and terrier.
