During the 1990's, a man named Todd Tripp began breeding boxers with a number of different breeds in an attempt to recreate the Brabanter Bullenbeisser. This was a popular breed in Belgium during the 1700's but like many other breeds, they were now extinct. Todd Tripp carefully bred various dogs and their offspring and the result was the Banter Bulldogge. Comments
