Olde English Bulldogge for sale

This breed was developed to resemble the athletic bulldogs of the 18th century, with a more functional muzzle, longer legs, and a lighter, more muscular build. Modern English Bulldogs are typically heavier in the front, have a shorter nose, and are more prone to breathing and joint issues. The Olde English type is generally more active and often has fewer severe conformational problems, though it is not free from health concerns.

They are usually affectionate, people focused, and form strong bonds with their families, including children. Most are tolerant and sturdy enough for family life, but their strength and enthusiasm mean supervision and teaching children respectful handling is important. Early socialization and clear boundaries help channel their protective nature in a positive way.

They are more athletic than the modern Bulldog and generally need at least 45 to 60 minutes of daily exercise, divided into a couple of sessions. Brisk walks, controlled play, and low impact strength activities suit them well. They can overheat more easily than many athletic breeds, so exercise should be adjusted in hot or humid weather.

They usually have a slightly longer muzzle and more open airways than some companion Bulldogs, which can reduce the risk of severe brachycephalic breathing issues. However, poorly bred dogs can still have narrowed nostrils and elongated soft palates. Breathing quality should be evaluated carefully in puppies and adults, and any heavy snoring, noisy breathing, or quick fatigue should be discussed with a veterinarian.

The breed can be prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, cruciate ligament injuries, skin fold infections, allergies, and some eye conditions. Orthopedic screening and responsible breeding help reduce joint issues, but owners should still budget for possible musculoskeletal care. Keeping them lean, well muscled, and on appropriate joint support as advised by a vet can lower the risk of problems.

Most have a confident, sometimes stubborn temperament, but they are usually eager to please their primary people. They respond best to firm, consistent, reward based training that starts early and continues through adolescence. Proper socialization with other dogs and people is essential, as some individuals can be pushy or test boundaries if not guided well.

Their short coat is low maintenance and usually only needs weekly brushing and occasional baths. However, any facial or body wrinkles should be checked regularly and gently cleaned and dried to prevent moisture buildup and infections. Owners should watch for redness, odor, or soreness in folds and around the tail, which may require veterinary treatment.

They can adapt to apartment living if they receive adequate daily exercise, mental stimulation, and structured training. Their relatively calm indoor demeanor helps, but their size, strength, and potential for occasional barking should be considered. Access to nearby outdoor spaces and adherence to leash manners is important in smaller living environments.

Adult males often weigh between 60 and 80 pounds, with females somewhat smaller, but ideal weight depends on bone and muscle. They should look powerful yet athletic, with a clear waist and ribs that are easy to feel under a thin fat layer. Many individuals are kept too heavy, which increases joint and breathing stress, so monitoring condition is more important than a number on the scale.

They can be suitable for dedicated first time owners who are prepared to invest in early training, socialization, and consistent leadership. Their strength, determination, and protective instincts may overwhelm someone who prefers a very easygoing or independent breed. Working with a reputable breeder and possibly a trainer from the start greatly improves outcomes for novice owners.
