Q.- What makes an Olde English Bulldog that Bulldogranch breeds so good? Every breeder out there seems to say their dogs are the best. A.- The creator of The Olde English Bulldogge used specific breeding stock and went through tremendous efforts to produce these healthy dogs we benefit from today. Breeders carried the bloodlines and name on after David Leavitt removed himself(in the 80's). By consistent improvement and attention to health the dogs just kept getting better and all of us benefit from 35 years of their hard work. Again, if you just want to say you have an Olde or want dogs with eye issues and mixed with everything under the sun there are HUNDREDS OF OTHER BREEDERS WHO CAN HELP YOU. Q. How and why did you get involved in this? A.- I didn't get involved overnight, in fact, the first dog I bought wasn't pure Olde English Bulldog. (though that is not what I was told) I couldn't find any pure Olde English Bulldogs in Florida so I bought a dog marketed as an Olde English Bulldogge from a breeder in Northern Florida. She was riddled with issues ... skin, wry jaw and eye problems to name a few. The breeder has since ending her program as she didn't really realize what she was getting into and found breeding quality is not simple nor inexpensive. This put me on a mission to obtain pure Leavitt Olde English Bulldogs and evaluate them here in Florida. After my first real Olde English Bulldog (the Bozz) it was very easy to see the difference. Bozz is everything the Olde English Bulldog was meant to be a healthy, loyal companion. He is also fantastic with children as are all these dogs. This bulldog has it all and everyone that meets him falls in love with him. After more time in getting to understand the truth about Olde English Bulldogges I wanted to produce more great dogs like him for other people in Florida and the United States. I've helped people across the United States get Old English Bulldogges from the true strains and help others get educated on facts and fiction. I work dillegently to bring truth and honor in our breeding program Check myBLOG to read about whats going on here at Bulldogranch.

Olde English BULLDOG RESEARCH INFORMATION
   
A few words from Olde english bulldog creator... In 1971, I started this project of breeding a dog with the looks of the 18th century Bulldog. I had become disenchanted with English Bulldogs, due to breeding and breathing problems. I discovered that they didn't look like their ancestors, who were healthier and less extreme. I found that bull and bear-baiting had been very widespread for hundreds of years. Extreme cruelty to animals was inherent in baiting sports. This cruelty was abhorrent to me, but I was fascinated by the great tenacity and courage of the over-matched underdog. I was also drawn to the Bulldog because of his fierce appearance. A modern protection dog, who looks really tough, will repulse an assailant without having to bite. This is the most desirable end to a confrontation. I couldn't find a reliable source for old style Bulldogs, and set about the daunting task of breeding back. I call the breed the Olde English Bulldogge. Research has been critical in developing a standard. I have period statues, paintings, prints, and all the important older dog looks. I found that Bulldog sizes varied during different periods, due to changes in the way the baits were staged. Like all old working breeds, Bulldogs were not bred to a strict standard. Their distinctive body, head, and temperament, were dictated instead by their work. I do not want the temperament of the original Bulldog. My dogs must be very loving. They must have courage and determination, without being overly aggressive. I've found that I can't count on buyers to get their dogs under good obedience control. If I have to make a mistake, it must be on the friendly side, and if someone wants their dog to be sharper, all it takes is a bit of training. I'd rather teach a friendly dog to bite, then vice versa. I'm using a line-breeding scheme, developed for cattle at Ohio State University. You start with 3 unrelated dogs, two males and one female. Female pups from the first cross are bred to the second male. From this point, females are bred back to uncles, each generation. I have 2 unrelated schemes started, so future outcrosses will be possible. I've used breeds that all have old Bulldog in their background. My dogs are half English Bulldog, and the other half is Bullmastiff, Pit Bull, and American Bulldog. The process of getting the dogs to match the old depictions is actually rapid due to the breeds used, and a dogs' short gestation period. I try to get on to the next generation as quickly as possible, to make genetic progress and get consistent results. I'm up to the eight and ninth generations on the two lines, at the time of this printing in 1995. My dogs can now breath. They will never be like hounds, able to run for miles during the hottest weather of summer, but they're three times better than the restricted modern Bulldog. Cesarean section births are not necessary. Artificial insemination, due to male ineptness and lack of drive, has been replaced by natural ties. Life span in over eleven years. All breeding stock have had hip x-rays. No dog with bad hips is bred. I'm now achieving my goal of producing a Bulldog with the health and temperament to be able to serve people, instead of forcing people to serve him
