There are many choices in life, a few of which can alter your path for the better, or worse. Something so little as a puppy can forever change your course.
Here at Smith Bulldogges we know this, that is why we handle each and every litter not as a whole, but on a puppy by puppy basis. This breed is not your typical English Bulldog.
These dogs all breed naturally, whelp naturally, and are all free breathers. It is unbearable to think that you would buy a puppy, take it home to your family, and then because of no fault of own...it becomes riddled with health issues.
We have not, and will not EVER breed an unfit dog, whether it be attitude, or health related. We are striving to produce our own unique style Bulldogge. Everywhere we go (as well as our customers) we are the center of attention with our dogs.
It is an honor, and privilege to own this breed. We have a few small litters a year, and specialize in the UNIQUE colors. The enviroment in which we produce, the colors that are manifested, and the love, do come at a price. QUALITY IS NOT EXPENSIVE.....IT'S PRICELESS!! This statement has never been so true as it is in the Bulldogge world. DO NOT be fooled, YOU DO get what you pay for.
Now for a little history lesson on this magnificent breed....
The perfect Olde English Bulldogge should be of medium height to large size with a large head and a very stout, muscular body. The disposition should be outgoing, loyal and courageous. The temperament is to be very stable and trustworthy. Most importantly the Olde English Bulldogge is a healthy dog with out many of the problems affecting the MODERN ENGLISH BULLDOG. Males should be free breeders and females should be free whelpers. The Olde English Bulldogge should be devoid of all breathing problems.
The exact history of the Olde English Bulldogge is hotly contested, with many breeders claiming that their bloodlines represent the TRUE breed. Instead of taking sides, this site follows the International Olde English Bulldogge Association (IOEBA), which seeks to bring all bloodlines under a single standard. All of our dogs are registered with the IOEBA. The breed history below is from the IOEBA website:
"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 existence vanished. Within a decade the numbers of bulldogs declined drastically almost to extinction. Dog show fanciers eventually decided to reconstruct the breed, but wanted to tone 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 combination's 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."
