This information below  helped me to begin to create our breed of dog known as The Banter Bulldogge

The Brabanter Bullenbeisser was the small Bullenbeisser that was found as a family and working dog in the 1700's early 1800's. The Brabanter Bullenbeisser was the smaller more bull doggy type of Mastiff used to create the modern day Boxer in conjunction with other Larger Bavarian mastiffs and the obvious infusion of the "Old Time English Bulldogge's". It is also widely known that the Brabanter carried very little if any White until the 1830's when the first English type Bulldogge was first imported into Germany.

** John Wagner's Book, The Boxer, first published in 1939 **

** " This Brabanter Bullenbeisser, once the sole property of the nobility, became the butcher's and the cattle dealer's dog His intelligence and tractability enabled the Bullenbeisser to reinvent himself as a family and a guard dog. The Brabanter, was developed for use in close quarters on small game and was bred in the central Belgian province of Brabant." Wagner, 1950) **

** "his remarkable intelligence and tractability endeared him to so large a group of individuals that he carried on when so many breeds completely disappeared. " (Wagner, 1950)**

How the Name came to be. 

The Banter meaning in definition “to address in a witty and teasing manner, Good-natured and usually witty and animated joking" this uncanny word meaning to the description of the temperament of our breed was interesting.  Also coming from the Old Belgium dogs of the 1700's from the area in and around Brabant know as the Brabanter Bullenbeisser. This Helped to lead me to the name Banter Bulldogge.
Banter Bulldogge's are athletic and very capable of many of today's canine sports such as weight pull, agility and personal protection. They are also at home doing terrier work or just as a home pet/watchdog. They must be loyal, great with children and never be overly Human aggressive but yet cautious of strangers.
