The Blue Paul Terrier originated in Scotland. Other common names for this breed are the Scottish Bull Terrier, Blue Poll Bulldog and, simply, the Blue Poll. This particular breed is now extinct. Its bloodlines may live on in other breeds but there are no more pure bred dogs of this type.
The form of the Blue Paul Terrier was powerful, sturdy and strong. Its physique was stocky and very muscular. The muscle of the body was bulging and defined, especially in the legs and shoulders. The head was rather large, and the jaws were particularly noticeable. It bore a close resemblance to pit breeds.
The Blue Paul Terrier was used for fighting, as were most dogs that shared these physical characteristics. The breed was always adapting its skills and was encouraged to fight to the death. The strength and resilience continued to grow until its extinction. This sport was well known and widely accepted around the world.
The dogs were obviously aggressive and smart. Both were great attributes for those involved in the game. This breed was used strictly for defence and fighting. The personality traits indicated that they were a protective, aggressive breed with little concern for its own safety. Yet, it had a strong willingness to please its owners and do what was demanded.
Dogs are not usually aggressive by nature. Training or experiences have to make them that way, if the dogs are domesticated. It stands to reason that the Blue Paul Terrier suffered greatly in order to hone its killer instinct.
