English Bulldog: Olde English Bulldog
built 225 days ago
English Bulldogs tend to have messy face wrinkles. The older they get, the messier the wrinkles. How often you clean these wrinkles depends on the dog. Some do very well if you clean the wrinkles a couple of times a week. Some need it on a daily basis. When you clean the wrinkles, wash his nose and apply a good rub of Vaseline to keep it soft.

After the success that the Olde English Bulldog breed has seen in the past few years, many new breeders are now looking to experiment with bulldog cross breeding. This is resulting in breeding between the AKC English bulldog and other dog breeds out of the bulldog family such as Boxers, Mastiffs, and Pit Bulls. These animals can make great pets. However, be mindful of breeders selling these dogs labeled registered “Bulldogs”.

One contemporary recreation of the breed is called the Olde English Bulldogge. Starting in the 1970's, a breeding program developed for cattle at Ohio State University was used, with the aim of recreating the Old English Bulldog. This modern day version with its similar physical abilities does not include the violent temperament of the Old English Bulldog. This recreation was done by line-breeding starting with a half Bulldog, and the other half Bullmastiff, a Pit Bull, and an American Bulldog. [1]
