Great Danebull

Dog Breed Profile

Great Danebull History

The Danebull is a mixed-breed of uncertain origin. The male has the appearance of a Dane and the temperament of a Bulldog, and the female is a combination of both. The Danebull is a mixture of two different parent breeds. The first generation is the cross of a purebred Danish or Swedish Staffordshire Bull Terrier (a so-called “Staffordshire bull terrier”) and a purebred American Pit Bull Terrier (sometimes referred to as a “pit bull”). The second generation is the cross of a third generation (F1b) and a fourth generation (F2). The Danebull is a medium-sized, muscular, athletic, and well-balanced dog. They may have the smooth coats of the Danes, or they may have the thick, rough coats of the bulldogs.
