IOEBA Olde English Bulldogge History
from the pages of www.ioeba.net
The Olde English Bulldogge originated in England between 1600 and 1700. These were the early ancestors to many of the Bull breeds that exist today including the English Bulldog and the American Bulldog. They were bred to participate in blood sports like bull baiting. This so called sport, became quite popular in England through out the middle of the 18th Century. Bull baiting primarily consisted of staking out a bull and allowing several Bulldogges to attack it. A dog of great courage and agility was needed for bull baiting. This dog was of medium size; larger dogs were considered to be the result of mastiff crosses.
Around 1835, laws were passed in England prohibiting bull
baiting and the Olde English Bulldogges main purpose
of existencevanished. Within a decade the numbers of
bulldogs declined drastically almost to extinction.
Dog show fanciers eventuallydecided to reconstruct the
breed, but wanted totone down the aggressive temperament
of the original Olde English Bulldogge. They crossed
the remnants of the existing stock with the pug and over the
years that followed they developed the modern English
Bulldog. Unfortunately though, this modern dog is wrought
with all kinds of genetic health problems.
The modern Olde English Bulldogge is a reconstruction of the original Olde Bulldogge of the 17th and 18th century. Various genetic crosses have been used in carefully and thoughtfully planned breeding programs to obtain this goal. The foundation of most of today's Olde English Bulldogges can be traced to English Bulldog, American Bulldog, APBT and Mastiff.
These dogs were used very selectively in various
combinations to obtain the desired physical and
mental traits of the original Olde English Bulldogge.
The result has been a good looking Bulldogge of
great athletic ability that is much healthier and
physically fit without most or all of the problems that
plague today's modern English Bulldogs. The goal of
all Olde English Bulldogge breeders should be to
produce genetically healthier Bulldogges that are free
breathers, free breeders, and free whelpers.
The IOEBA's detailed breed standard is the best guide as to what the perfect Olde English Bulldogge should look like according to the International Olde English Bulldogge Association. It is recommended that it be used by today's Olde breeders in an effort to maintain the high standards that the breeders of the past and the IOEBA have set fourth.
