A Olde English Bulldogges are very capable dogs. They perform the duty of watch dog very well. That is, they are very tuned in to their families. They are very adept at alerting their families when something is not quite right so that appropriate action may be taken.

A Olde English Bulldogges can thrive in apartment life provided that they receive plenty of exercise, love and attention. If you work 14 hours a day every day, and your dog will be crated during this time, this is not the breed for you. You might want to consider a Hamster.

A 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.

A Olde English Bulldogges are very intelligent and possess a strong desire to please their owners. As with all breeds, different training methods work better with different animals. Some Bulldogges may exhibit a stubborn streak every now and then, but that's just Bulldogge. In a nutshell, they are really no more difficult to train than any other breed.

Yes. They have business-like barks to alert their owners of visitors (or prowlers) on the premises. A full grown Kerry barking at the door is an imposing sight. However, once the visitor is approved by the owner, the visitor is accepted by the dog and may even be solicited to play.

A We do not recommend nor endorse the Olde English Bulldogge for PP training or Protection sports. That was not the intended function of the breed, and there are much better choices for that type of activity. A Fortunately for us, history has already been written. It is well documented that the Olde English Bulldogge was created in the early 1970's by David Leavitt.

No. They are far too gentle, but the psychological impact of a large dog can be a deterrent to would-be troublemakers.

The Kerry is very intelligent and a number of dogs have received advanced obedience degrees, but they can be stubborn and independent. Like most terriers, the Kerry was bred to work independently of human direction. If a dog is nose to nose with a badger, it cannot take the time to ask "may I attack now, please, or would you prefer me to wait?" Thus, obedience as a formal task is rather foreign to the breed, but their loyalty and eagerness to please will usually compensate.

Answer: Although some Pugs may alert you when someone is at the door or bark when they hear a car pull up, they would not be considered good guard dogs.

No. Greyhounds are far too gentle. Still, the psychological impact of a large dog can be a deterrent to would-be trouble-makers.

Before the SI system there were several traditional systems which had aggregated over the centuries. You may find these units, such as feet, pounds, rods and gallons in use still in some backward parts of the globe. Note that the GNU project has a useful program 'units' which will convert almost any unit into any other compatible one.

Greyhounds do not make good watchdogs. They are bred specifically to be even tempered and good natured, and receive constant handling. As a result, they love everyone and view every stranger as a new friend.

A There are many differences. A simplistic look at the two breed's appearance will lead one to the conclusion that 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 Bulldog males are free breeders and the females are free whelpers.

While they do have a natural herding instinct, Queenslands are loving, devoted pets and very reliable watchdogs. They tend to be extremely loyal, protective family and watch dogs. In our experience, they bond strongest to one person, but will love and protect the entire family. They can sense your emotions and can discern when a person is sick or weak. They tend to be especially careful and protective in those situations.

Yes, they are aloof with strangers and make excellent watch dogs. They are defensive of their home and loved ones. They are an independent breed, very owner-oriented. "A plus as well as a minus in the training situation. Independence is a plus because dogs possess the necessary confidence to work at a distance from their handlers, but it's a minus because it sometimes translates into stubbornness". Training sessions should be brief and not with force.

Not usually. Some Newfs may alert you that someone is nearby by barking, but most Newfs are more interested in greeting new people rather than scaring them off.

ANSWER: Not usually. Some pugs may alert you that someone is nearby by barking gently (Pugs don't bark loudly, in general, because it's muffled by the lips), but most Pugs are more interested in greeting new people rather than scaring them off. The look of the Pug often will scare people - especially if you have a Bullmastiff in the yard too. Then you can just say that the Pug is a puppy and it grows up into the Bullmastiff (sorry, that's Pug humor).

For the most part, they do well with other dogs that are raised with them. The Anatolian Shepherd, as a flock guardian, instinctively protects its flock against all predators - which category includes other dogs. Do not assume that an Anatolian will be happy to socialize with other dogs. Some do, but many well-socialized Anatolians still need to maintain a certain range of distance between themselves and other dogs.

The International Olde English Bulldogge Association is the premier registry for Alternative Bulldogges and Rare Breeds and has been dedicated to the preservation, continuation and improvement of these breeds since 1995. The IOEBA is a non-discriminatory registry dedicated to representing all bloodlines of Olde English Bulldogges that exist today as well as several other rare breeds.
