Standard - Olde English Bulldogge
GENERAL APPEARANCE
The Olde English Bulldogge is a muscular, medium and large sized dog of great strength, stability and athleticism. He is well balanced and proportioned, with no feature exaggerated or standing out. He has the appearance of a dog capable of doing his original job, bull baiting. Remember that excessive height would have been detrimental for the old working Bulldog because he had to play low to avoid the bulls horns and fasten onto his nose. A heavy weight dog would have also been at a disadvantage because the bulls nose would have been more likely to rip, sending the dog flying.
The Olde English Bulldogge was developed in the early 1970's by David Leavitt, of Coatesville, PA. Mr. Leavitt used a line breeding scheme that was designed and developed by Ohio State University for breeding cattle. The goal was to recreate a specific breed of Bulldogge with the look, health and athleticism of the original bull baiting dogs, but without the extreme tenacity. The foundation crosses consisted of English Bulldog, and the other half Bullmastiff, American Pit Bull Terrier, and American Bulldog. After many carefully planned crosses, the Olde English Bulldogge emerged and began to breed true.
CHARACTERISITCS
The disposition of the Olde English Bulldogge is confident, courageous and alert. OEBs are very friendly and loving.

The scapula (shoulder blade) should be at an approximate 35 degree angle to vertical and forms an angle approximately 110 degrees to the humerus (forearm). Scapula and humerus should be roughly equal in length.
ELBOWS A vertical line drawn from the point of the scapula (top) to the ground will pass directly through the elbow. The elbows are not turned in or out.
FORELEGS The legs are set wide apart, coming straight down from the shoulders. They are straight vertically on inside of legs and well muscled giving a bowed appearance of front quarters. The forelegs have medium bone and are in proportion to the body.
PASTERNS The pasterns are medium in length. They are straight, strong, flexible and nearly perpendicular to the ground.

Stifles have a gentle convex curve
when viewed from the side. Stifle angle roughly matches the angle of the pelvis.
Hocks are perpendicular to the ground when viewed from the side and back. They are parallel to each other when viewed from the back. A line drawn from the rear most part of the buttocks, perpendicular to the ground, should fall to the front of the toes. A line drawn from the upper (front) point of the pelvis, perpendicular to the ground, should pass through the knee (the two preceding tests of good angulation must be performed with the dogs hocks set
perpendicular to the ground).
Fault: Hips which are equal to shoulders in width.
