AMERICAN & VICTORIAN BULLDOGS
Working dog" is an apt description of the American Bulldog. Originally brought to the American South by English working-class immigrants, this breed helped farmers and ranchers with many everyday tasks, such as driving and catching hogs and cattle, and guarding property. Today's American Bulldog is still an all-purpose working partner, guard dog and family companion. It is loyal and confident with a large head, thick muscular neck, wide nose, powerful jaws and a muscular but agile body. Due to an emphasis on ability rather than looks, the height and weight of individual American Bulldogs varies considerably. Males are ideally 22 to 27 inches tall at the withers and weigh 75 to125 pounds; Females are 20 to 25 inches tall and weigh 60 to 100 pounds. The American Bulldog's short, stiff coat may come in any color, pattern or combination of colors except solid black, solid blue or tricolor (white with brown and black). This brave, determined breed benefits from plenty of socialization and training from an early age. Although it's strong protective instincts may cause it to be reserved with strangers and possibly aggressive towards other dogs, the devoted American Bulldog demands to be with its family and adores children. 
The Olde Victorian Bulldogge is a medium sized to large-medium sized, smooth coated dog. Broad muzzle with a short face, but not too short to hinder breathing capabilities. The head should be large without being out of proportion to the body. The muzzle should be noticeably turned upwards, well defined with good wrinkle, the wrinkle should not be too loose with excessive folds over the nose, the bite should be undershot with out excess & square. The canines should be wide apart with smaller teeth set in between canines. As a puppy, they will chew everything they can find. The bulldogge should be fierce backing down from nothing, but must first be loyal & true with a dependable nature. He should be bold without too much agression. The males should be 18-20 inches tall and weigh between 65 & 100 pounds. The females should be 17-19 inches tall and weigh between 55 & 85 pounds. The Olde Victorian Bulldogge is good for apartment life. They are inactive indoors and should at least have a small yard. They handle the heat and cold weather really well, but when temperatures are extreme, shade and fresh water are recommended. The Olde Victorian can walk for miles, in fact they demand good exercise and love a good run. Because of the downfall of the modern day bulldogge, the recreation of a better bulldogge was started. The Olde Victorian Bulldogge was developed by Carlos Woods 1988. The Olde Victorian Bulldogge comes down from English Bulldog, American Bulldog, German Boxer, Staffy Bull and the Olde Bulldogge. These dogs are registered through the Victorian Bulldogge Association.
