The
English Bantam
Bulldogge is what
the English Bulldog
looked like back in
the early 1800’s
when the Bulldog
that had been used
in previous
centuries for bull
and bear baiting had
been bred down in
size to a small
bulldog weighing
between 20-35# and
9-14 inches tall.
The perfect English
Bantam Bulldogge
should be of short to
medium height with a
square-looking head
and a strong,
muscular body. The
disposition should
be friendly, brave,
and loyal. The
temperament is to be
steady and
dependable. They
make good companions
for young or old and
maintenance is
minimal. Timid ness
or extreme
aggression is a
serious fault. Of
prime importance is
a healthy dog not
having many of the
health problems that
plague the modern
English Bulldog.
Males should be free
breeders and females
should free whelp as
a rule. The English
Bantam Bulldogge
should not have the
same breathing or
activity limitations
of the modern
English Bulldog
