English Bulldog question?

Question

To my understanding, and to the registration of the UKC, AKC, FCI and CKC (canadian) I cannot seem to find anywhere a breed named an "English Bulldog"

Yet all these people today keep INSISTING that the breed is "real"
I understand that the breed is "real" but to my understanding the breed is just called "Bulldog" Not English, or Olde English Bulldogge (which is extinct), or German Bulldog

I mean, just because I got my dog in USA doesn't make her an "American Collie"

So please, can I see some credible sources on where this "English Bulldog" is accepted terminology?

Answer 1

Hon...



If you ask "people" on this website



a Puggle and a Bug are a REAL breed



Gatorade and bananas cure Parvo



there are SILVERBACK yorkies running around (have you seen the movie Congo?)



and a grass patch is the PERFECT training tool for housebreaking your pet



do I really need to go on??

Answer 2

The reason the AKC (not sure about the others) do not recognize it as an English Bulldog, is because at the time of the initial registry of the bulldog into the AKC, the companion breeds (French and American) were too rare to make the registry. Often, the AKC doesn't register breeds because if they aren't a popular enough breed. Like the Xolo, which is one of the oldest dog breeds, but was thought to have gone extinct in the 20th century, so it was dropped from the AKC registry. Because they didn't go extinct, and have gained a lot more popularity, they are being officially re-added to the AKC after the first of the new year.



So there was no reason to differentiate the bulldog from the other bulldog breeds. It is not unusual for people to refer to their bulldogs as English Bulldogs, because they are referring to their specific breed and since there are other companion breeds now that are common, there is often a need to differentiate. When we talk about our dog, we often refer to him as an English Bulldog, because most people don't know that the AKC-standard term is just Bulldog, plus they usually follow up by asking which kind of bulldog we have.



Also, the Old English Bulldogs are extinct. The Olde English Bulldogges are not extinct, my neighbor has one.

Answer 3

The only country that puts a marker on the Bulldogs name is Australia and they call them British Bulldogs, just look on Australian National Kennel Council's website.



Anywhere else it is just Bulldog. I should know I am a breeder of show Bulldogs. The old english bulldog is extinct, the olde english bulldogge is a mutt.



Edit- Barely jump into a car? Really you know that for a fact?

I guess my bullies never heard the memo.



Grip? hmm well if they don't want to let go they are not going to. But they have been trained to let go when I tell them to, so it may look like their grip is bad when it really isn't. But for the most part their grip is satisfactory in my opinion. They have the proper skull structure for the breed, not the skull structure people think we want them to be.



The problem with weight is the misconception that the breed is suppose to be chunky with no waist, when in reality a pear shape is the right size, so there should be a waist. More and more breeders are breeding for these no-necked butterballs that look like they can barely walk, which I can't stand. The rears on these dogs are failing miserably. In the past few years I can't tell you how many disgusting gaits I have seen from these dogs. Guess that is why these breeders don't want English judges coming over seas, cause those judges will never put up those dogs.

Answer 4

Olde english bulldogges are a breed known by skill of the UKC and characteristic been breeding authentic for over 30 years, there are far extra healthy than any english bulldog I rather have ever seen and far extra athletic and characteristic far much less vet costs. the olde english bulldogge is a huge dependable kinfolk puppy, those that dont look at them as a breed are only stubbon, if I have been you i might get regardless of makes you satisfied , yet a OEB is an extremely good canine

Answer 5

Find what motivates your dog. Some dogs do anything for food. Some dogs do anything for Toys. Some do anything for a good petting. Some do anything for only one type of food, like cheese, or hotdog. Some only have interest in training for 5 minutes at a time, and others can go for an hour. Figure out what your dog is willing to work for, and then work with her in sessions that are no longer than she can tolerate. How to train your dog properly https://tr.im/kwQpd



Sign up for a dog obedience training class. It will not train your dog. It will give you training on how you can train your dog. Most people understand the idea of training, but there is a right and a wrong way to do it, and there is good and bad technique. Timing and consistency is very important, and it helps to have feedback of someone watching you who can help you improve your technique to get more efficient results with your dog.



However, she may be somewhat anxious around other dogs, sort of like the shy kid on the playground. She will benefit from continuing what you are doing as far as asking her to sit before entering, but there are more things along those lines that will help her to calmly go in and out of the dog park. She may also benefit from going in short bursts, or only when fewer dogs are present, or avoiding times when other dogs that make her nervous are present. Maybe she just plays loud - my brother's dog is this way - or maybe she is a dogpark bully - sorry it is possible. But more likely she is just a little anxious around new dogs and she wants to play but just doesn't quite know how to do that and still feel comfortable. Don't be surprised if your dog does not actually like the dog park, and maybe she would get more enjoyment and less stress out of simply going for a good walk somewhere else.



A wagging tail does not mean that your dog is happy or even comfortable with the situation. It means your dog is emotionally aroused. This could be a happy arousal, or it could be a nervous arousal, or it could be an aggressive arousal. Go youtube it, there are plenty of videos of 'vicious' dogs who are throwing a very aggressive fit of barking and snarling while their tail is wagging vigorously. Even police dogs who are not let off the leash to chase down a suspect can be lunging and barking and snarling, and their tails are still going.

Answer 6

there are three bulldogs. recognized between AKC and UKC.



Bulldog (often mislabeled as "English" bulldog) the little wrinkly guy who can barely jump into a car.



French Bulldog- the cute one with rounded ears- a companion dog



American Bulldog- closer to the original bull-dogs of old, the modern dog could probably be trained to grip and hold, they have a lot of energy.



ADD::::::::::::: ok, chaos- then yours are obviously more well conditioned and better built than the ones i have met- because the Bulldogs i know- really- they can barely do a thing. it would be great to meet some who can!! how is their grip?



CHAOS- thank you- i suppose then, that the bulldogs i have known are what you say the British judges wouldn't put up with- there are Teletubbies with more shape than the ones i know. : )

Answer 7

There is no such dog as a English Bulldog. French, and American's have Bulldogs but the English is just Bulldog.



And No your dog is either a Rough,Smooth, Bearded, or a Border Collie. There is no such dog as a American Collie.

Answer 8

You've just found out how some countries allow a breed to be accepted into the show ring ! Honestly

I have been at meetings for AKC and sometimes there are heated debates about various breeds

wanting to be included in their roster. It would be nice if there was a Universal policy but unfortunately

there just isn't any way to know about various countries' policies without doing some research. My dog

can't be shown (in the USA) because she has a long coat however in Germany she would be a drop dead gorgeous

in a show.

Answer 9

I don't insist on it because I HAVE an AKC registered BULLDOG. I'm the one doing the preaching, too, in case you haven't noticed. Where is it acceptable? Let me see now....BYB's and the same people who call GSD's German Shephards or maybe Dobe people who call them Dovermans? That's about it, I suspect.



Add: Haven't you ever seen adds that say "Champion puppies for sale?" I have. How do you suppose they became Champions without ever leaving the whelping box? It WOULD be nice if it really did work that way, huh?

Answer 10

They probably just use the term to differentiate this bulldog from the American bulldog and the French bulldog. The 3 breeds are quite different.
