Q What is the difference between an English Bulldog and an Olde English Bulldogge?
A There are many differences. A simplistic look at the two breed’s appearance will lead one to the conclusion that the Olde English Bulldogge is slightly taller than the English bulldog and much less extreme in terms of bulliness. The Olde English Bulldogge is also a much healthier animal in that it doesn’t suffer from the numerous health problems of the English bulldog. The Olde English Bulldog males are free breeders and the females are free whelpers. This is in contrast to the English bulldog where in many, if not most cases the females must be artificially inseminated to conceive, and then must deliver by Cesarean Section. These dogs are much fuller of life than English bulldogs.
Q What is the average life expectancy of an Olde English Bulldogge?
A While this certainly depends on the care an animal receives such as Veterinary care, vaccinations, exercise and nutrition, a good average would be 11 to 15 years.
Q How well do these dogs get along with children?
A These dogs adore children, especially if they have been raised with them. Bear in mind that these dogs are Bulldogges after all, and can be rough. Just as with any dog, playtime with small children should always be supervised.
Q How big will my dog get?
A Males should be 17” to 20” tall at the Withers and weigh 60 to 80 pounds.
Females should be 15” to 19” tall at the Withers and weigh 45 to 70 pounds.
