There are many differences between an English bulldog and an Olde English Bulldogge but appearance and health are the main factors that separate these breeds. It is best to become completely familiar with these breeds before making a final decision on adding a dog to the family. However, either will be a wonderful pet with the proper exercise, socialization and training.
Take personal schedule, income and family members or others animals that will be present into consideration when picking the breed best suited for one’s current situation. By carefully considering these factors, the owner will have a much better chance of getting an animal that will fit in well with the family. The information given below will aid one in learning the differences between an English bulldog and the Olde English bulldog.
An attempt at breeding a dog similar to the ones that existed in England between 1600 and 1700 is where the modern Olde English bulldogge originates. These dogs were the earliest relatives to the American and English bulldogs. The males are free breeders, where the females are whelpers. An Olde English bulldogge will live from 10-14 years and is quite smart. A male will be 18-20 inches tall, where a female will be 17-19 inches in height. Olde’s usually weigh between 50 and 70 pounds if female, and 60-80 pounds if male. The main goal in this dog’s life is to please their master.
Many times mistaken for an Olde English Bulldog, an English bulldog is great to own based on its loving disposition, and luckily has lost much of the agility, speed and tenacity it was once known for. The English breed will range in height from 12-14 inches, and weight up to 60 pounds. Excellent with kids, the English bulldog is very loving, but sometimes stubborn. Having a smooth short coat and living up to 10 years, an English bulldog will make a great pet.
As when adding any new pet to the family, weigh all the options and consult a vet at the beginning of the search to make the process smoother and easier. Bulldogs in general are great additions to any family and are among the most loyal of dog breeds. Knowing the difference between an Olde English bulldogge and an English Bulldog will ensure that the family makes the right choice.
