Origin story
The Bentebulldog is one of the youngest dog breeds. We can say that we are present at its creation. In the late 90s of the XX century, Todd Tripp from the state of Ohio of the United States of America decided to create a breed whose representatives would be similar to the Brabant Bullenbeitzers that had sunk into oblivion at the turn of the 17th-18th centuries. Since ancient times, these dogs have been used for hunting and fighting with wild forest buffaloes and bulls and bore the proud name – bullhounds. Todd Tripp hoped in his new working breed to revive those qualities that were fully inherent in the Bullenbeizers: power, fearlessness, good learning and devotion to the owner.
When selecting bentebulldogs, Todd Tripp used several breeds of dogs, but he took boxers. Also, when breeding bentebulldogs, they used american staffordshire terrier, staffordshire terrier, american bulldogs.
