Overview
Olde English Bulldogges are sweet, loving dogs who are eager to please and deeply devoted to their families. Early socialization helps channel their natural protectiveness into a well-rounded, confident temperament. This breed was purposefully developed to combine the classic Bulldog look with improved health and breathing — and the results speak for themselves.
Olde English Bulldogges have a strong, athletic build and a confident presence that turns heads. Behind that striking exterior is a genuinely affectionate dog who loves their family and is eager to please. Their natural devotion can lean protective, and early socialization helps them grow into calm, well-adjusted companions. Olde English Bulldogges were developed to bring the classic Bulldog appearance together with better overall health and easier breathing — an intentional improvement that has made them a increasingly popular choice for families who love the Bulldog look and want a hardier, more athletic companion.
Temperament and Behavior
Olde English Bulldogges are athletic and fierce-looking, but are actually pretty docile unless you are obviously threatening them or their owners. Although Bulldogs have a reputation for being a little stubborn, they are actually pretty trainable and eager to please. Olde English Bulldogges do love to chew, so you should be prepared to go through plenty of toys and bones. You’ll also notice that this breed drools a lot, but eventually, you’ll just come to think of it as one little way they show their love for you. Another thing you should know about this breed is that they love to eat. Always be sure to regulate the amount of food you give them, or they will eat themselves sick.
Coat & Grooming
Olde English Bulldogges' short coats are easy to care for. A quick brushing about once a week will help keep their coat vibrant and healthy. They do shed throughout the year but not an excessive amount.
Lifestyle & Living Conditions
Olde English Bulldogges can adapt to living in all kinds of situations. The only thing you should really avoid is keeping them in an excessively hot or cold environment. However, Olde English Bulldogges love their people, and should live inside with you, no matter what type of house you have. This breed can get along with your other pets, especially if they are raised together. Olde English Bulldogges also get along well with children and make great protectors for your little ones.
Exercise & Activity
Old English Bulldogges can range from active to moderately active. They need to go for a daily walk and will always enjoy a good outdoor play session together, but they also won’t mind just being lazy for part of the day either.
Health Considerations
The life expectancy of an Olde English Bulldogge is 9–14 years, with fewer breathing problems than similar breeds. Developed to be a healthier alternative to the English Bulldog, the Olde English Bulldogge is a sturdier and more athletic breed.
