What To Know About Old English Bulldogs

By Iva Cannon


There are a lot of breeds of dogs that people have for pets. Old English Bulldogs was once a breed of dog. It is not considered extinct. Still, in the modern day there is the Olde English Bulldogge, which is a breed with similar characteristics. These dogs are available through pet stores, shelters and breeders operating in many areas of the world, including the area of Tulsa, OK.

The Old English Bulldog was known for having a broad and muscular, though compact, body. Their average height was around 15 inches and most weight approximately 45 pounds. A notable characteristic of this dog was that its lower jaw protruded in front of the upper jaw, which gave it a strong grip. Historians believe that this breed was derived from war dogs of ancient times, such as old Alaunt or Mastiff breeds. Others are unsure of the origins of this breed.

Breeders worldwide are attempting to recreate this breed that is extinct. Many have become successful, although it is important to note that no recreation can be exactly like the original because genetics of that breed are extinct. Olde English Bulldogge, also referred to as Leavitt Bulldog, is the closest available to the original bulldog. These are more athletic and lighter. The purebred dog was more aggressive, which contrasts the friendly temperament of this modern bull breed.

Olde English Bulldogge, OEB, is considered part of a new American dog breed. David Leavitt is credited with spending the 1970s creating a healthier form of this bulldog. This is one of the closest recreations to the dog that was popular in the 1800s in England and is now extinct.

Leavitt crossed English Bulldogs with Bullmastiffs, Pit Bulls and American Bulldogs to create the Bulldogge. The result was an athletic breed that looks similar to the purebred animals of the 1800s. However, they are known for being more friendly and having other small differences. Leavitt changed the name for the breed to Leavitt Bulldog, although many still refer to these animals under the OEB name, which is also the name adopted by United Kennel Club in 2014.

These dogs are medium-sized with muscular builds. They are considered strong, fluid and agile, and balanced. Their large heads are proportionate to their prominent shoulders and muscular build. Many consider them to be great companions for pet owners and dog lovers alike. These animals also have the drive, temperament and agility to carry out different types of work. Overall, the OEB is considered confident, friendly and alert.

The OEB is considered healthier than most other modern bulldog breeds, and better than the traditional bulldogs for many reasons. Some breeders suggest that these animals do not suffer from the same problems of their purebred counterparts. However, every animal is different. People interested in owning these dogs as pets are encouraged to do research to learn more about the breed, including its needs.

The violent act of dog-baiting has been an issue for thousands of years, even after it was outlawed. Though not as prevalent today, there are still some who abuse these dogs and use them solely for dog fighting. Old English Bulldog, Bullenbeisser and Toy Bulldog are all extinct bull breeds. The ones that are recognized and still present in the modern day: OEB, American Bulldog, Boxer, Bulldog, Alano Espanol and French Bulldog.
