| In 1971 David Leavitt started his project of breeding a dog with the looks of the 18th century Bulldog. He had become disenchanted with English Bulldogs, due to breeding and breathing problems. He discovered that they didn't look like their ancestors, who were healthier and less extreme. He found that bull and bear-baiting had been very widespread for hundreds of years. Extreme cruelty to animals was inherent in baiting sports. This cruelty is abhorrent to him, but he is fascinated by the great tenacity and courage of the over matched underdog. He's also drawn to the Bulldog because of it's fierce appearance. A modern protection dog, who looks really tough, will repulse an assailant without having to bite. This is the most desirable end to a confrontation. He couldn't find a reliable source for old style Bulldogs, and set about the daunting task of breeding back. He calls the breed the Olde English Bulldogge. Information was provided by and used with permission of Working Dog, Inc. and David Leavitt, copyright 1995-2000" |
