Group
Origin /
History The breeding program for the Dorset Olde Tyme Bulldogge was started back in the late 1980s by Steve Barnett. Barnett wanted to recreate a kind of bulldog that had been based on historical bulldog breeds. He wanted to create his own version of the ideal bulldog and he used his previous breeding experiences to do so. Barnett planned to create a breed that has a graceful appearance for show, an athletic, powerful presence, and a pure bulldog temperament.
The Dorset Olde Tyme Bulldogge, developed by Steve Barnett, is very much like the bulldog breeds during the early 16th century. Those old bulldogs were meant for kings and queens at that time. These dogs, however, also participated in various events such as bull baiting and bear baiting. Some say that the original English Bulldogge is the Dorset Olde Tyme Bulldogge.
Appearance Dorset Olde Tyme Bulldogges are medium-sized, with strong, athletic physique. They have slightly sloping and muscular shoulders, straight, forelegs, and well-boned elbows that are set well apart. Their feet are broad and strong, with tight toes and thick pads. They have muscular and broad hindquarters. The head of these dogs is large and strong, while its upper region is slightly convex. They have a prominent forehead that is wide, furrowed, and has loose, thick skin. These dogs also have wrinkled skin around the sides of their head as well as around their cheeks and throat. Their wide nose has open nostrils, and their rose or button-shaped ears are wide and set high on their head. The coat of these dogs is flat, short-haired, smooth, and have a fine texture.
