Olde Englishs 101
GuardianThe Old English Bulldogge is one of several breeds developed to return to the larger, more agile body type than the modern English Bulldog. The look of these dogs mimics that of the dogs once used in the bloodsport of bull-baiting, which has been outlawed for centuries. Today's Old English is a well-muscled dog with the courage and agility to go nose to nose with any animal; but fortunately, they are no longer asked to.
