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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

A We support the American Rare Breed Association , and the North American Kennel Club . Both of these organizations hold Conformation shows all across the United States. There are also independent weight pull competitions as well as obedience and agility trials. The OEBKC is working diligently to open additional venues to show the Olde English Bulldogge.

In general they do very well with children. They are a moderate size that can withstand children without overwhelming them and have a easy going, tolerant nature that takes many things in stride. Parents should remember that there are limits to what any dog can endure and oversee the activities of small children. A puppy is NOT a warm version of a stuffed toy. If treated roughly enough it will eventually try to warn the child to cease by growling or as a last resort nipping.

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

A - Greyhounds are friendly by nature and socialize well as a result of their exposure to other greyhounds at the racing kennel. Adopters should advise their adoption counselor about the other breeds of dogs living in the household. Also, common sense must be exercised during the introductory period and with regard to food, treats, bones and special toys. Feeding separately is always recommended in a multi-pet household.

They can be very good house dogs, but they are very large, shed with enthusiasm, and may knock things over with their large tails. If you are a finicky house cleaner, this breed would be a challenge for you. Any dog can be trained to live in the house, but puppies and young dogs need a lot of exercise. A large dog door, allowing access to both indoors and out, can accommodate both exercise and an Anatolian's appreciation of indoor comforts! All puppies and young adults chew.
