The modern Olde English Bulldogge is a modified form of the original
Olde Bulldogge of the 17th and 18th century. Many genetic crosses have
been used in carefully
and thoughtfully planned breeding
programs to obtain this goal. The foundation of most of today's Olde English
Bulldogges can be traced to English Bulldog,
American
Bulldog, APBT and Mastiff.
These dogs were used very selectively in various combinations to obtain the same physical
and mental traits of the original Olde English Bulldogge. The result
has been a good looking Bulldogge of great athletic ability, that is
much healthier and physically fit without most or all of the problems that plague
today's modern English Bulldogs. The goal of
all Olde English Bulldogge breeders should be to produce genetically healthier
Bulldogges
that
are free breathers, free breeders, and free whelpers.
