Welcome to Timpanogos Bulldogges

Welcome to the home of "Timpanogos Bulldogges".  We found the Olde in 2006, and researched the breed, wanting to know more about this wonderful animal.  We found our first OEB at Superior Bulldogges in Minesota,  and she stole our hearts the moment she came off the plane.  We knew right then and there that this was the breed for us and we have set out only to better it.  These are not AKC English Bulldogs.  We breed for Health, Athletisism, and Family temperaments.  Our Dogges are well adjusted and socialized with all people, kids, dogs and cats.  They are trained depending on thier ages and how long we have had them.   And best of all, they are tonz of fun.

  We register all of our dogges with the IOEBA.

You will find us at the base of the Wasatch mountains, under the shadow of MT. Timpanogos.   We take the family and dogs, hiking, camping, and hunting all over her slopes and into the high Uintah Mountains.  This mountain has been our home for most of  our lives.  We feel at home again the moment she comes into view after a long trip.  She inspires us to be the best we can, and that is why we chose the name for our Kennel.

The modern day English Bulldog, is not what they looked like 200-300 years ago.  They were taller, more athletic and drivey, and did not look like they hit a brick wall.  Though they still had very bully atributes.  They were working dogs for farms and butcher shops used to wrangle cattle and other livestock.  This is the same job that made them famious for Bull and animal baiting, a popular sport in the past.  The Bull/animal was tethered in an arena or pasture and the dogs were set free upon them to wrestle, and subdue the bull  by the nose time and time again.  Many dogges lost thier life all for this bloody sport.  But it showed the true heart of this dogge, and it proved that it would do anything it's owner asked it to do, even until death. 

When bull baiting was made illigal in 1835, they say the bulldogge almost disappeared within a decade.   Some Fanciers decided to reconstruct the bulldogge and tone down it's aggression so it would not die out.  It is hard to say how they achieved this, but one theory is they crossed the remaining bulldogges with pugs to achieve that goal.  Unfortunately in todays world it is very hard to find an English Bulldog that is not wrought with health problems, but they do exist if you look hard enough.  Today English Bulldogs have difficulty breathing, Males have a hard time mounting and forming a good tie, so females most often have to be artificially inseminated, Females rarely can give birth naturally as well because of narrow hips and the pups having the large classic bully heads they are famous for, so a c-section is almost always required.  This just names a few of the problems breeders have.  The English Bulldogge has become a breed almost entirely dependant upon it's breeders to keep them alive.

 It is because of these problems, some modern day breeders, mostly in the 1960-70's,  got sick of them.  They wanted a bulldogge that could breath and work again.  They wanted free breeders and whelpers.  A bully that did not need mans constant help and babysitting just to keep the breed alive.   So by crossing the English Bulldog, American Bulldog, APBT and Mastiffs, and through very carefull selective breeding and out crossing, they were able to recreate that great Bulldogge of old, and named it the OLDE ENGLISH BULLDOGGE.
