History:

During the Victorian era, miners in north-east England bred terriers with small dogs, and the modified dogs were used to compete in biting competitions or to hunt hares. However, due to the cruelty of this competition, it was later banned by the United Kingdom and changed to a cloth-biting competition. In this legal competition, a waving handkerchief is used as a signal, and the dog follows this signal and runs towards the master with all his strength. At present, competitions for such events in northern England are still very popular. But also to become a festive entertainment.
