About the Olde English Bulldogge
Though its name is deceiving, the Olde English Bulldogge is a fairly young breed, developed by American breeders in the 1970s with the aim to recreate the original working bulldog from 19th century England. The Olde English Bulldogge draws its roots from the English Bulldog, the American Bulldog, the American Pitbull Terrier, and the Bullmastiff to generate an athletic, family-friendly breed of dog without some of the health complications of current-day Bulldogs.
Physically, the Olde English Bulldogge retains the low set and powerful body shape and broad, strong jawed head of the Bulldog, but with far fewer skin folds. The hind legs appear longer than the front due to the broad barrel chest. Multiple colors, with or without white, are acceptable. While Olde English Bulldogges are of course at risk for genetic conditions at high frequency in its founding breeds, Olde English Bulldogges typically have far less difficulty breathing and do not require climate control in warm weather. -
