What's the real difference between an Olde Tyme and British Bulldog?

The hard thing about a breed like this is that it’s still relatively new and you can see a lot of variation within the breed. I recommend to do a lot of homework about this breeder as well as the breed. Also look into the breed registry. Some are more reputable than others. Don’t rush into anything, there will be other litters. Most of the time you can find a breed club webpage. I recommend to reach out to the breed club and find breeders that they recommend. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hi there! Great question. It will be hard to make a distinction until Simba is finished growing, but he looks to me like what we would call an American lab. American labs are taller with a longer muzzle and narrower head, while English labs are shorter, with a bigger, block like head shape (similar to Newfoundlands). These distinctions are merely a result of breeding and are not recognized as distinctions by groups such as the American Kennel Club (AKC) who set breed standards. Hopefully this answers your question. One thing is for sure, Simba is absolutely adorable!

No, it is not classed as a pit bull but if there is some pit bull blood in the dog, and it gets recognised, you are at risk of having the same problem again. In general, American Bulldogs cross Staffies are ok.

Hi there! Normally, an Old English Sheepdog is grey and white, and very fluffy or shaggy depending on how the hair is kept. A Hungarian Sheepdog (also called a Komondor) is normally all white, and has a characteristic "corded" coat that looks like dreadlocks, or the head of a mop.

The result would probably a dog with all the congenital problems of English Bulldogs as well as the congenital problems of a French Bulldog. It is not a cross I would recommend as both dogs are brachycephalic (short-nosed, misalined dentition, excessive skin folds, etc) and this condition inhibits breathing, causes heart disease, etc.

English bulldogs can suffer from an large array of upper respiratory issues affecting both its inner and outer portions. In this case, you may be referring to an issue known as stenotic nares. This is a term to describe the narrowing of the nasal openings. In some cases, surgical intervention is required to avoid respiratory distress episodes in these fellas. I would recommend having Alfie's nasal structure assessed to see if this could potentially be necessary. Hope this helps.

There is no medicine over the counter that can help and there is a condition in Bulldogs that causes this for an unknown reason. it is best to keep track of how long each episode last and how intense and what she is doing before it starts so your vet can get a better idea of what is going on.
