Olde English Bulldogges tend to have a gentle, sweet, and docile nature. They tend to complete sweethearts that love their families and love to play. Although they can be protective of their families, they tend to get along with just about everyone, including children, other pets, other dogs, and strangers.

If the other parent breed has a similar temperament, then you should be able to expect something similar in an Olde English Bulldogge Mix. You can also meet the mother in-person to see the temperament she has and the manners she is modeling for her puppies. Although the breeder should have started socialization and training, it is up to you to continue to train and socialize a puppy once you get them home.

An Olde English Bulldogge is a highly adaptable dog. They can do well in apartments as well as larger homes. They are more sensitive to heat than other dogs, but tend to do well in most climates. They also do not like to spend a lot of time alone.

The other parent breed could introduce some other quirks that could affect adaptability, so it’s important to talk to the breeder about them. If they are also a highly adaptable dog breed, then you should be able to expect the same from an Olde English Bulldogge Mix.

Although a mixed-breed dog can sometimes be healthier than a purebred dog, it’s not a guarantee. They could inherit a combination of conditions common to their parent breeds, all of them, or none of them.

A mixed-breed dog can inherit a coat similar to one of their parent breeds or a coat that is truly a combination of both. Should an Olde English Bulldogge Mix inherit the Bulldogge coat, it will be short and will shed moderately. But, it will also be low maintenance and only require an occasional bath as needed and brushing a few times a week.

Regardless of their coat, you will also need to care for your Olde English Bulldogge’s nails, ears, and teeth. Cutting your dog’s nails once or twice a month keeps them from growing too long. Weekly checks with careful ear cleaning when needed can help prevent ear infections.

Because dental care for dogs is often overlooked, gum disease is one of the most common health issues in dogs. Brushing teeth or using an enzyme toothpaste every day is ideal and can help prevent painful dental diseases later in life.
