The English WhiteTerrier (also known as the White English Terrier) is an extinct breed of dog. The English WhiteTerrier is the failed show ring name of a pricked-ear version of the white fox-working terriers that have existed in Great Britain since the late 18th century.
The name "English WhiteTerrier" was invented and embraced in the early 1860s by a handful of breeders anxious to create a new breed from a prick-eared version of the small white working terriers that were later developed into the Fox Terrier, the Jack Russell Terrier, the Sealyham Terrier and later, in the United States, the BostonTerrier and the Rat Terrier. In the end, however, the Kennel Club hierarchy decided the "English WhiteTerrier" was a distinction without a difference, while the dog's genetic problems made it unpopular with the public. Within 30 years of appearing on the Kennel Club scene, the English WhiteTerrier had slipped into extinction However, studies show that during the (British Raj of 1858 - 1947) British soldiers brought the "English WhiteTerrier" with them into India, and they still exist under the name of "GULL TER" or "WHITETERRIER" but in Britain, It was, however, crossbred with the Old English Bulldog giving rise to the BostonTerrier and Bull Terrier.
