History of the Banter Bulldogge

The Banter Bulldogge is the result of Todd Tripp's work in southeastern Ohio to recreate the Brabanter Bullenbeisser of 1700. Also known as the Brabant in central Belgium, this dog was a favorite of working and family dogs at the time until the early 1800s. Tripp was very selective in the dogs he chose to be the basis of his new breed. Most were Boxers and a variety of working Bulldog breeds, such as AmStaff and American Bulldog. The high percentage of Boxer and his precise selection process when choosing dogs for the breed enabled him to achieve his ultimate goal. An infusion of English Bulldogge type introduced more white color into the breed. The Banter Bulldogge got its name from its good-natured, witty and cheerful temperament. Banter was therefore used to imply these attributes in the dog. The name also recognizes the Brabanter Bullenbeisser, the dogs of early Belgium in the 1700s that inspired Todd Tripp to begin his crusade to recreate the older Bulldog type.
