Olde English Bulldogges (also called Old English Bulldogs) are old fashioned dogs. They make excellent family dogs or guard dogs. They love to play, and they are also very protective of 'their' family.  They do need a firm hand. You will have a much better dog if you're able to show him clearly that you're the boss.

      Olde English Bulldogges are likely to be healthier than the modern English Bulldogs, many of which have problems with breathing and hip dysplasia, and are sometimes unable to be bred or give birth naturally.  Olde English Bulldogges are a separate breed from the English Bulldog.  They're taller, more athletic, healthier, a lot more responsive, and have a kinder disposition.  Couch potatoes they are not!  Oldes maintain the instincts and intelligence and drive that English Bulldogs used to have many, many years ago.

      The Olde English Bulldogge breed has been developed by a number of breeders, not just one exclusively, as claimed by some. Greg Hermes is responsible for the developing and breeding of the Hermes Olde English Bulldogge, going back some thirty years, taking several years to develop the present-day Hermes bulldog, which has been breeding true for well over twenty years. There are a lot of people today putting together English Bulldogs with American Bulldogs with Mastiffs with Pit Bulls, all claiming they have an Olde English Bulldogge. We believe there are only two true strains of Olde English Bulldogge: the Leavitt and the Hermes.

      The bulldog in one form or another has been around ever since the Allant dog was in existence some 700 years ago. It has evolved and taken on many different forms, from a dog that could fight a full grown bull, to the appealing couch potato of today, commonly known as the English Bulldog.

      At Coreyland Bulldogs, we believe that the Hermes Olde English Bulldogge is a particularly fine example of what an Olde English Bulldogge should be. Our extensive research supports this opinion.
