These dogs have an excellent capability to learn most types of training including basic obedience training, advanced personal protection type training, hog catching and weight pulling. This bulldogge fits into today's world and makes a great friend and loyal family companion. It has a great reputation for it's compatibility with children and tends to form an exceptionally strong bond with it's family members.

The lower jaw turns up and is protruding. The bite is square, but undershot, with large tusks. The eyes are low and wide set. Its forehead is flat, while its muzzle is short and broad. The ears may be either rose or button and should be set high and wide. Dewlap will have two folds. Its neck should be short and nearly as wide as the head, while the shoulders are very broad and muscular. Its front legs may be slightly bowed or straight. The ribs should be well-rounded and the chest wide and deep, while the back is short, slightly arched and strong. Its belly should be well tucked up. The thighs are very muscular and the rear legs neither pigeon-toed nor cow-hocked. Tails must be straight. Its coat can be short and close or medium and fine, and comes in gray, black, brindle of red, brindle spots on white, fawn, red or black solid or with white.

Olde English Bulldogges are docile, but capable and protective, fearless and athletic, fierce-looking, determined and courageous, bold and friendly around its family and friends, but a fearless adversary to anyone who threatens his master or property. Unfriendliness to strangers is not a defect, although it’s unusual. This breed likes to chew and should be supplied with plenty of toys and bones. Nyla-bones and rubber "Kong" toys are highly recommended. Rawhides, soft rubber and stuffed toys are unsafe, for they are easily shredded or swallowed whole. Olde English Bulldogges are so eager to please that they may overexert themselves in an effort to do whatever is asked of them. Female Olde English Bulldogges are often more territorial, protective and possessive than male Bulldogges.
