Around 1835, laws were passed in England prohibiting
bull baiting and the Olde English Bulldogges main
purpose of existence vanished. Within a decade the
numbers of bulldogs declined drastically almost to
extinction. Dog show fanciers eventually decided to
reconstruct the breed, but wanted to tone down the
aggressive temperament of the original Olde English
Bulldogge. They crossed the remnants of the existing
stock with the pug and over the years that followed they
developed the modern English Bulldog. Unfortunately
though, this modern dog is wrought with all kinds of
genetic health problems.
The modern Olde English Bulldogge is a reconstruction of
the original Olde Bulldogge of the 17th and 18th century.
Various 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 and
Mastiff.
These dogs were used very selectively in various
combinations to obtain the desired 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.
The IOEBA's detailed breed standard is the best guide as
to what the perfect Olde English Bulldogge should look
like according to the International Olde English
Bulldogge Association. It is recommended that it be used
by today's Olde breeders in an effort to maintain the high
standards that the breeders of the past and the IOEBA
have set fourth.
