Description |
The head of the Original English Bulldogge is flat and wide with a strong jaw. The jaw has a distinctive undershot bite. The ears are rose shaped. The neck is medium length,
heavily muscled, and widens towards the shoulders. The forequarters are heavy and have muscular shoulders and strong straight legs. The body is heavily muscled with a wide chest and a strong brisket. There is a slight downward
slope from the hindquarters to the shoulders. The hindquarters are large, muscular, and longer in proportion than the forelegs, so as to make the hindquarters higher than the forequarter. The tail is docked for health
reasons. The coat is short and smooth. The color is white, white with patches of brindle, black, salmon or fawn, and tri colored (black, white, and tan or brindle). |
Temperament
|
The Original English Bulldogge is loyal, bold, and fearless. The most important traits for this breed are health, temperament, lifespan, and loyalty; appearance is only secondary. They
do best when they live indoors and are made an important part of the family. Owners need to take a determined, consistent, loving approach while remaining calm when dealing with this breed. If the dog senses you are weaker minded than he is, he will become stubborn as he will believe it is his job to run the home. They make wonderful pets for the assertive owner who displays the right amount of leadership. Proper human to canine communication is essential. |

The Original English Bulldogge does best living indoors close to its family. |

Exercise |
This breed needs to
be taken on a daily walk. While out on the walk the dog must be made to heel beside or behind the person holding the lead, as in a dog's mind the leader leads the way, and that leader needs to be the human. |
