Olde English Bulldog
Most olde english bulldog rescues are located within a breeders kennel because of the lack of abandoned dogs.
The breed was developed in Great Britain around the 13th century and has a Molossian ancestry. They were used for bull baiting: sport, popular since the Roman times, in which the dog grabs the bull and brings it to the ground. The breed was developed through very selective breeding, and is a very recognizable one. His origins are said to come from the Alaunts and Pugnaces of ancient England - the Mastiff and the Pug. The first record of this breed belongs to the doctor of Queen Elizabeth. He described the dog with a sturdy built and obstinate personality. Pieces of literature are also the evidence of the existence of the dogs of this breed.
