Olde Boston Bulldogge

  The name Olde Boston Bulldogge is pronounced as "Old Boston 
Bulldog".  We named ours website Olde Boston Bulldog.com but it is still pronounced 
as "Old Boston Bulldog".  The term "OBB" is used quite often for Olde Boston Bulldogge 
and "BT" is for the Boston Terrier.  Our OBB breed is registered through the 
International Olde English Bulldogge Association

Many years ago in Boston people fought dogs for entertainment and were wanting to breed a 
better dog so the mixed a Bulldog with a Terrier.  This dog, as it turned out,  was more of a people dog than a fighter due to eye injuries and 
people started having them as house pets.  This was the original Olde Boston Bulldogge, a very healthy animal.  The Boston Terrier is a 
breed created from the Olde Boston Bulldog over several years but not as good as the original in so many areas in my opinion.  

French Bulldog

French Bulldog

The French bulldog is believed to have been derived from the English bulldogs. It is believed that over two hundred years ago, lace workers from England went to France looking for work. When they went to France they took bulldog runts with them.

Eventually the French fell in love with this smaller version of the bulldog and it took off in popularity. The most unique feature of the French bulldog is the "bat like" ears. The ears are wide at the base and come to a point quickly. The ears are short so they stand up, as opposed to those of the English bulldog which droop over. The French bulldog weighs at most 28 pounds, which is half the size of the English bulldog.

The French bulldog used to be a very fashionable dog to be seen with. Everyone from French prostitutes to the Russian royal family owned this type of bulldog.

Description:
Gentle, friendly, and adoring, with a mischievous dose of stubbornness, the English Bulldog is incessantly loyal to its family.
Bulldog resting It usually gets along well with other animals, is particularly fond of children, and does best indoors. Highly spirited as a puppy, the English Bulldog grows up to be a calm adult. The breed prefers not to exercise, can easily overheat, and is prone to drooling and snoring.

History/Origin:
The English Bulldog descended from ancient Mastiffs that originated in Asia and were brought to Europe by nomads. Mastiffs were bred for ferocity in fighting, holding, or bringing down aggressive prey.
Crib and Rosa, dated 1817 The Bulldog was bred in the early 13th Century for bull baiting. The short muzzle and wide lower jaw were needed for the dog to clamp itself to the bull's nose like a vise, and the nose had to be upturned so that the dog could still breathe while clinging to the bull. It is mentioned in many historical works, most notably, in Shakespeare's King Henry VI. When animal baiting contests were outlawed in England in 1835, these Bulldogs were increasingly exported to America and also to Germany, where they helped create the Boxer. The last of the working Bulldogs in England were crossed with Pug Dogs to create a stocky, docile, family pet-known today as the English Bulldog. The breed was first registered by the American Kennel Club in 1934 in the non-sporting group and today is a popular show dog throughout the world.
