Our Story
Ballerz Bulldogges is a small family breeder of Olde English Bulldogges located just outside of College Station, Texas. We are a husband and wife team dedicated to the preservation, promotion and improvement of the Olde English Bulldogge and English Bulldog breed. The focus of our breeding program is on health, structural conformation, and temperament. Here at Ballerz Bulldogges we take pride in producing beautiful, top-quality Olde English Bulldogges with champion bloodlines and generational pedigrees. All breedings that occur at Ballerz Bulldogges are the result of careful consideration of genetic characteristics, pedigrees and relationship coefficients. Each of our breedings are selected to meet our personal standards in producing what we believe is an ideal Bulldogge...a functional dog that is family friendly and possesses a beautiful bully appearance.
We have dedicated our lives to the Bulldogge breed and we have spent years building on specific traits that we find most appealing in the breed. We have been very selective in choosing Bulldogges that meet our requirements to use in our breeding program. All of our Bulldogges are healthy and descend from well-known bloodlines. Our Bulldogges are members of our family and our puppies are raised indoors with a lot of attention, care and socialization. All of our Bulldogge puppies come current on all vaccinations.

Breed Information
What is an Olde English Bulldogge?
The Olde English Bulldogge originated in England between 1600 and 1700. These were the early ancestors to many of the Bull breeds that exist today including the English Bulldog and the American Bulldog. They were bred to participate in blood sports like bull baiting. This so called sport, became quite popular in England through out the middle of the 18th Century. Bull baiting primarily consisted of staking out a bull and allowing several Bulldogges to attack it. A dog of great courage and agility was needed for bull baiting. This dog was of medium size; larger dogs were considered to be the result of mastiff crosses.
Around 1835, laws were passed in England prohibiting bull baiting and the Olde English Bulldogges main purpose of existence vanished. Within a decade the numbers of bulldogs declined drastically almost to extinction. Dog show fanciers eventually decided to reconstruct the breed, but wanted to tone down the aggressive temperament of the original Olde English Bulldogge. They crossed the remnants of the existing stock with the pug and over the years that followed they developed the modern English Bulldog. Unfortunately though, this modern dog is wrought with all kinds of genetic health problems.
The modern Olde English Bulldogge is a reconstruction of the original Olde Bulldogge of the 17th and 18th century. Various genetic crosses have been used in carefully and thoughtfully planned breeding programs to obtain this goal. The foundation of most of today's Olde English Bulldogges can be traced to English Bulldog, American Bulldog, APBT and Mastiff.
These dogs were used very selectively in various combinations to obtain the desired physical and mental traits of the original Olde English Bulldogge. The result has been a good looking Bulldogge of great athletic ability that is much healthier and physically fit without most or all of the problems that plague today's modern English Bulldogs. The goal of all Olde English Bulldogge breeders should be to produce genetically healthier Bulldogges that are free breathers, free breeders, and free whelpers.
