About the Olde English Bulldogge
Are you ready to own an OEB?
Have you done your research on the breed? Do you have the time or patience? Here are some of the things you can look forward to when bringing home an OEB. This breed is very powerful, strong, and intelligent. They can also be very protective and driven. They require owners that are mentally powerful, confident, and strong. If they are not well trained and given boundaries, they will run your house. Puppies are very time-consuming with training, potty training, and exercise. You will also need to have a lot of patience to deal with chewing, biting, teething, and high energy levels. Jobs that this breed can do to help burn off that energy are hiking, walking, hunting, protection/bite work (PSA), weight pulling, and they make great guard dogs. Last but not least, getting a dog is a commitment for the entire life of the dog.
