General Description : The ideal Olde English Bulldogge
is a loyal, courageous dog of medium size with a large
powerful head and stout muscular body.
Olde English Bulldogges are athletic and most
importantly of very good health, males are free breeders
and females are free whelpers. The Olde English
Bulldogge is devoid of all breathing issues and is capable
of enjoying outdoor activity without concern except in
extreme heat or cold.
The temperament is very stable and trustworthy making
them a loyal companion, capable protector and the
ultimate family member.
Old English Bulldogges thrive on pleasing their owners
and are very trainable.
Their lifespan is between 10 and 14 years.
Head : Large and high, moderately sunken between the
eyes (medial furrow).
The circumference of the head should be equal to or
greater than the dog's height at the shoulder. A narrow
head or one that appears too small for the body is a fault.
Ears : Rose ears set well on the sides of the head are
preferred. Dropped ears are acceptable as long they are
small, not “hound like”. Full pricked ears that stand up
on top of the head should be considered a serious fault.
Muzzle : Broad, deep and short with moderate wrinkling.
The bite is undershot with the bottom jaw turning up
noticeably. Lower canines should not protrude. Muzzle
too long (more than 3 inches), scissor bite or even bite are
disqualifying faults. Muzzle should be no shorter than 1
½”. Wry jaw is a disqualifying fault.
Eyes : Wide apart and of moderate size. Any color is
acceptable. However, odd eyes (one dark, one blue or
light) should be considered unpreferred. Misshapen or
bugged eyes are a serious fault. Lacking pigment around
the eyes is undesirable. Crossed eyes or non-
symmetrically shaped eyes are a disqualifying fault.
Nose : Broad with open nostrils (nares) with no sign of
air restriction. The nose should not be pushed up between
the eyes. From the stop to the end of the nose must be at
least one and one half inches. The nose should be a solid
color. Lacking pigment is a serious fault. A nose lacking
all pigment is a disqualifying fault.
Neck : Short to medium in length and very muscular
flowing into the shoulders and should not be set on the
dog so it appears to stop at the shoulders.
Chest : Ribs should be well sprung (rounded) and the
chest wide and deep.
Depth of chest should be at least to the elbows.
A hollow or narrow chest (slab sided) should be
considered a serious fault.
Back : Males should appear square and balanced.
Females should appear similar with consideration given
for body length. Short with a very slight rise from the
shoulders to a slight drop in the croup is preferred. A
level back is acceptable as long as the tail does not come
straight off the top of the back.
Shoulders : Shoulders should be well laid back with
significant angulations to allow for good movement.
Straight shoulders are a fault.
Legs : Forelegs should be straight and wide apart,
neither bowing out nor turning in. There should be
significant bone substance. Elbows should be relatively
close to the body. Lacking bone and substance is very
undesirable. Elbows that are loose or “fiddle fronts” are
a disqualifying fault. “East / West” forelegs are a serious
fault.
Rear legs should exhibit significant bend of stifle so to
allow for good movement.
They should be well muscled. Straight or “posty” rear
legs are a serious fault.
Cow hocks are a disqualifying fault.
Movement : Dogs should have a balanced gait that drives
off the rear and is complimented by reach allowing the
dog to cover ground with a sense of power.
Dogs should single track. Pacing or crabbing is a serious
fault.
Feet : Round, tight both front and rear, and the pasterns
should be strong.
Weak pasterns and/or splayed feet are disqualifying
faults.
Height : Males - 16 to 19 inches at the shoulder. Females
- 16 to 19 inches at the shoulder.
Weight : Between 50 to 70 lbs. for females and 65 to 85
lbs. for males. Although height and weight above the
standard is to be discouraged, there is no penalty as
long as the dog is well proportioned, otherwise correct
and balanced.
Color : Any color, except merle, is acceptable with no
preference for one over another. The coat is short. A
wavy coat or a long coat is a disqualifying fault. There
should be no signs of feathering on the legs or neck area,
also a disqualifying fault.
Tail : A pump handle tail that naturally reaches the hock
is preferred, screwed short
or a docked tails are acceptable. The pump handle tail
should be carried low and not over the back of the dog.
Temperament : Disposition should be outgoing and
happy. While a watchful nature may be expected at
home, human aggression without provocation is a
disqualifying fault.
