An Overview On Old English Bulldog Breeders

By Carl Wallace


Based on the history, the origin of these was believed to be coming from those ancient war dogs such as the Alaunt or the old Mastiff. While there are some as well who believed that until now, the origin remains unclear. But some depictions have been seen in some old prints, showing the variety, in no doubts, was small Mastiff having a long head. But eventually, the breed was crossed with Greyhound.

The breed also has other 2 recognized members which are the Crib and the Rosa. The Rosa exemplifies the form and the size of an ideal Old English Bulldog. There were exhibitions being made in Maryland before that allows this specialized breed for an English blood sport for bull baiting. And one of the famous Old English Bulldog breeders Maryland was Bill George who was a dog dealer as well.

Many breeders now are trying to recreate the new types of the said extinct breed in success. But to achieve this pure OEB type might be hard since this breed is said to be extinct when it comes to genetics. One famous contemporary recreation of the breed was done by conducting some certain breeding programs. The results of the lineage was a half Bullmastiff and American bulldog and half bulldog.

A bulldogs may often be confused from this breed. A bulldog is being noted to have sweet disposition, but this has been maintaining little of the agility and speed which are both definitive characteristics of Old English Bulldogs. Some other recreations that have been made would include Able, Continental, Victorian, Aylestone, Wilkinson, Spanish Bulldogs, etc.

Olde English Bulldogges are often docile. However, may still be athletic, bold, fearless, courageous, protective, determined, capable, fierce looking, friendly most especially when it comes to their family and friends. They are fearless adversaries whenever their masters or property are being threatened.

These breeds are known for loving to chew, and thus, they are recommended to be given with plenty of bones and of toys. So instead, provide nylabones or o Kong toys for them. Never give them those soft rubber items, rawhides, and stuffed toys because they may easily shred or swallow them.

They are so eager on pleasing that they may possibly overexert themselves in making an effort for doing whatever is being asked to them. It would be very important for the owners to display natural authority to their dogs, and as well as obedience and socialization training. It would be best to channel those high energy individuals into works and exercises.

Training a dog has the main objective on achieving pack leader status. Natural instincts mostly acquired by dogs such as about having orders in the packs. So if ever humans have decided on living with their dogs, the humans will become the pack. Entire packs should cooperate under one leader.

For this, defining and setting some lines and as well as rules, respectively is important. A dog often communicates displeasure by eventually biting and growling, thus, humans should not just let the dogs become higher than them. And thus, decisions must be made by humans and not by dogs.
