Olde English BullDogge Personality Traits

Dog with lovers

Temperament of the Dog

Olde English Bulldogges are docile, but agile, capable and protective, fearless and athletic, fierce-looking, determined and courageous, bold and amiable.This breed likes to chew and should be supplied with plenty of toys and bones. Olde English Bulldogges are so eager to please that they may overexert themselves in an effort to do whatever is asked of them.

Female Olde English Bulldogges are often more territorial, protective and possessive of their owners and property than male Bulldogges.

Olde English BullDogge Activity Level

How active is the breed?

Though active, this breed needs moderate exercise. A daily walk will suffice to tone their muscles and keep them in good shape. These dogs are naturally slow, and because of their unique structure, they should not be encouraged to jump or engage in strenuous exercise as young pups. It's important not to over-exert them in summer as it can lead to heat strokes.

Suitable for apartment living?

Olde English Bulldogges will adapt to almost any lifestyle. The dog is ideal for apartment living and make wonderful companions specially for quiet people. However, some people find it hard to bear his snoring.

They should be protected from the extreme cold and heat.

Grooming

If meant to be a working dog, the coat should be sheared, never combed or brushed, but bathed only when necessary using a mild shampoo without heavy conditioners. If the coat becomes excessively matted, the cords can be separated by pulling the mats apart with the fingers down to the skin.

For show dogs, the coat should be sheared down at least once a year (or more). Once or twice a week one should look behind the ears, and the area where he sits and separate any cords that might bind together. Its nails should be clipped and eyes cleaned as often as necessary. Consistent minimal work is needed to help develop the proper cording.

The Spanish Water Dog does not shed its coat. If there are concerns about allergies, it is recommended that one spend time with the Spanish Water Dog to see if they are indeed allergic.
