Males should be 16″ to 18″ tall at the withers and weigh 60 to 80 pounds. Females should be 15″ to 17″ tall at the withers and weigh 55 to 70 pounds.

"The Olde English Bulldogge is slightly taller than the English Bulldog and much less extreme in terms of bulliness. The Olde English Bulldogge is also a much healthier animal, in that it doesn’t suffer from the numerous health problems of the English Bulldog. The Olde English Bulldogge males are free breeders and the females are free whelpers. This is in contrast to the English Bulldog where in many, if not most cases the females must be artificially inseminated to conceive, and then must deliver by cesarean section. At the Olde English Bulldogge Kennel Club we like to say that our dogs are the type of Bulldogges that the kids can take outside to play in the summertime, while most English Bulldogs must be kept indoors in the air conditioning." (According to Olde South Bulldogges)

The average life expectancy is 11 to 15 years.

They adore children, especially if they have been raised with them! As always, dogs can be rough, therefore playtime with small children should always be supervised.

It depends. As with any of the bully breeds, the Olde English Bulldogge does have a tendency toward same-sex dog aggression. They usually do very well with animals of the opposite sex. There are some things that can be done to try to minimize problems. First, all non-breeding stock should be spayed/neutered. Second, be certain that dogs of the same sex are at least one year apart in age. Third, introduce the Olde English Bulldogge as a puppy, not as an older dog. To summarize, it is not advisable to bring an Olde English Bulldogge into a situation where he/she will reside with a member of the same sex, who is of similar age and has not been spayed/neutered.

No. Unlike the English bulldog, Olde English Bulldogges don’t have a real slobbering problem.

They can perform the duty of watch dog as long as they are tuned in to their families. They are adept at alerting their families when something is not quite right so that appropriate action may be taken.
