History The Olde English Bulldogge is a re-creation of the Bulldog that existed in England between 1811 and 1820. They were bred to bait animals; mainly bulls and bears. These baiting sports were popular from their inception in 1100 till made illegal in 1835. In bull baiting the dog flattened himself on the ground and crept as close to the bull as possible and then darted to try to catch the bull by the nose. The bull was tethered by a collar, rope and stake in the ground. He tried to catch the dog as he came and threw him 40' into the air. The dog's owner tried to catch him as he fell.
In 1835, the Cruelty to Animals Act passed in Parliament which outlawed baiting. The Bulldog's work was over and he rapidly started dying out. In about 1865 dog shows started and remnants of the Bulldog were used to resurect the Breed.
The Olde English Bulldogge is a re-creation of the "Regency Period Bull Baiter", developed by David Leavitt, of Coatesville, Pennsylvania. In 1971 Mr. Leavitt started his project by using a cattle line breeding scheme of Dr. Fechimer from Ohio State University. The goal was to create a dog with the look, health, and athleticism of the original bull-baiting dogs, but with a less aggressive temperament. The composition of the OEB was ½ Bulldog, 1/6 Bullmastiff, 1/6 American Pit Bull Terrier, and 1/6 American Bulldog. After many carefully planned crosses, the Olde English Bulldogge emerged and began to breed true. Leavitt formed the Olde English Bulldogge Association to keep the stud book and issue registration papers. For other uses, see Bulldog (disambiguation). ...
