The Modern Olde English Bulldogge is a reconstruction of the Bulldog of the 17th and 18th century. Various genetic crosses have been used in carefully and thoughtfully planned breeding programs to obtain this goal. The Foundation of most of Today's Olde English Bulldogges can be traced to English Bulldog, American Bulldog, and Mastiff. These dogs were used very selectively in various combinations to obtain the desired physical traits of the original Bulldog without any aggressive traits. The result has been a good looking Bulldogge of great athletic ability that is much healthier, physically fit, and mentally stable with out most or all of the problems that plague today's modern English Bulldogs. The goal of the Olde English Bulldogge breeders is to produce genetically healthier Bulldogges that are free breathers, free breeders, and free  whelpers.
