Bull and terriers
In England different crosses of bulldogs and terriers were popular as fighting
dogs during the 19th century. In those days a terrier was a term used for a
dog that could catch and kill a vermin and therefore didn't relate to
specific breeds. A bulldog was a heavier build dog, looking like the
Staffordshire Bull Terrier, we know today.

Bull og terriers
I England var forskellige krydsninger af bulldogs og terriers populære
som kamphunde i det 19. århundrede. Dengang var terrier begrebet for en hund,
der kunne fange og dræbe skadedyr - og var derfor ikke relateret til
specifikke racer. En bulldog var en tungere bygget hund, som så ud som
den Staffordshire Bull Terrier, vi kender i dag.
|
| In 1835 the brutal practice of dog- as
well as bull-, bear- and cock- fights was outlawed by the Parliament.
|
|
I 1835 blev den brutale brug af hunde- så vel som
tyre-, bjørne- og hane-kampe forbudt af det engelske parlament.

The pure white Bull Terrier
When dog fighting was banned, fanciers of the 'bull and terriers' started
breeding better looking dogs for sale.
|
|
Den "pure white" Bull Terrier
Da hundekampe blev forbudt, begyndte opdrættere af 'bull og terriers' at opdrætte smukkere hunde med salg for øje.
|
The founder of the Bull Terrier was
James Hinks from Birmingham. He wanted to breed a pure white dog.
He mainly used the English bulldog, the Dalmatian and the milder mannered White English Terrier.
|
|
Skaberen af Bull Terrieren var James Hinks fra
Birmingham. Han ønskede at opdrætte en helt hvid hund.
Han benyttede hovedsageligt den engelske bulldog, dalmatineren og den mildere
hvide engelsk terrier. |
| The White English Terrier is now
extinct, but a similar coloured breed survived - the Manchester Terrier.
|
|
Den hvide engelske terrier er nu uddød, men en
lignende farvet race har overlevet - Manchester Terrieren.
|
| Back then the Bull Terrier was a much
smaller breed, many of them being less than 7 kilos.
|
|
På det tidspunkt var Bull Terrieren en meget
mindre race. Mange vejede mindre end 7 kg.
|
|
|
|
Not developed as a fighting dog
So even if the Bull Terrier is often referred to as a fighting dog (even by
owners and breeders of the breed), this isn't correct. You may say that it originated
from fighting dogs, just like the English Bulldog did.
|
|
Ikke opdrættet til kamp
Så selv om Bull Terrieren ofte bliver refereret til som en kamphund (selv
af ejere og opdrættere af racen), er dette ikke korrekt. Man kan sige, at
racen stammer fra kamphunde, nøjagtig lige som den engelske bulldog.
|
| Using milder tempered breeds in his
development of the Bull Terrier renders proof that James Hinks didn't have the
intention of creating a "better fighting dog".
|
|
At James Hinks brugte hunde med blidere
temperamenter til at skabe Bull Terrieren er bevis for, at han ikke havde
intentioner om at skabe "en bedre kamphund".
|
Instead the breed's shining white coat
earned it the admiration of the gentry of the day and the white Bull Terrier
became a fashionable pet.

I stedet tiltrak racens skinnede hvide pels
datidens lavadels og mellemklassens beundring og den hvide Bull Terrier blev
et fashionabelt kæledyr.

The coloured Bull Terrier
In England in the early days of the 20th century a group of enthusiasts
introduced colour in the Bull Terrier with the determined intention of
creating a coloured variety of the pure white Bull Terrier. This was done by
crossing the pure white Bull Terrier with coloured breeds. |
|
Den farvede Bull Terrier
I England i starten af det 20. århundrede introducerede en gruppe af
entusiaster farve hos Bull Terrieren med den målbevidste hensigt at skabe en
farvet variant af den hvide Bull Terrier. Dette blev gjort ved
at krydse den hvide Bull Terrier med farvede racer. |
| These two varieties were considered
more or less as two different breeds, so white Bull Terrier from bloodlines
carrying colour were not considered to be pure whites - no matter how entirely
white they were. These white dogs were known as colour-bred whites.
|
|
Disse varianter blev mere eller mindre betragtet
som to forskellige racer, så hvide Bull Terriers fra blodlinier med farvede
hunde blev ikke betragtes som "pure whites" - uanset hvor hvide de
var. Disse hvide hunde blev kendt som "colour-bred whites" (farve-opdrættede
hvide).
|
|
|
|
Reunion of colours and pure whites
In 1950 as a result of the coloured and the colour-bred white Bull Terriers
becoming better and better as well as better knowledge of genetics and
inheritability of coat colours the rules in the Bull Terrier club were changed
and the whole population of Bull Terriers could be use no matter whether you
bred white or coloured Bull Terriers.
|
|
Forening af farvede og hvide
I 1950 som resultat af at de farvede og "colour-bred whites"
blev bedre og bedre samt større viden om genetik og arveligheden af pels
farve blev reglerne i The Bull Terrier Club (Englands ledende Bull Terrier
klub) ændret og man kunne nu bruge hele
populationen af Bull Terriers til avl, uanset om man opdrættede hvide eller
farvede Bull Terriers.
|
| As a result of this the pure whites
are now extinct. All white Bull Terriers have coloured Bull Terriers in their
pedigree.
|
|
Som et resultat af dette findes der ikke længere
"pure white" Bull Terriers. Alle hvide Bull Terriers har farvede
Bull Terriers i deres stamtavle.

The modern Bull Terrier
The shortness of this summary of the Bull Terrier's history hasn't allowed
mentioning the work of any of the many English breeders in the 20th century,
who contributed to developing the Bull Terrier we know today - so different
from the Bull and Terrier on which James Hinks founded the breed in the 19th.
century.
|
|
Den moderne Bull Terrier
Kortheden i dette referat af Bull Terrierens historie har ikke tilladt
nævnelse af nogle af de mange engelske opdrættere i det 20. århundrede, som
bidrog til udviklingen af den Bull Terrier, vi kender i dag, som er så
forskellig fra Bull og Terrieren, som James Hinks baserede sin race på i det
19. århundrede.
|
| We do however have to pay tribute to
Raymond Oppenheimer, who with his Ormandy Bull Terriers - and in partnership
with Eva Weatherill and her Souperlative Bull Terriers, must be considered to
be the father of the modern Bull Terrier.
|
|
Vi bliver dog nødt til at anerkende Raymond
Oppenheimer, som med sine Ormandy Bull Terriers - og i partnerskab med Eva
Weatherill og hendes Souperlative Bull Terriers, må betragtes som faderen til den
moderne Bull Terrier.
|
| IWe've yet to see a Bull Terrier, who
doesn't carry Ormandy and Souperlative bloodlines in its pedigree.
|
|
Vi har endnu ikke set en Bull Terrier, der ikke
bærer Ormandy og Souperlativ blod i sin stamtavle.
