~ History Of The Aussie Bulldog ~

The Aussie Bulldog was given their name by two qld breeders & founded by two seperate breeding programs.  The lines were started separately with previous years of breeding bulldog type dogs and merged in a cooperating and coordinating effort to create a functional bulldog, more appropriate to live in Australia's conditions.

The Aussie Bulldog Club of Australia (ABCA) was developed in 2007 by a group of breeders who felt that all breeders and owners of the Aussie Bulldog should be able to share and have their opinions heard at some level into the future direction and development of the breed. Our aim is to work side one another for the betterment of the breed and eventually have the Aussie Bulldog recognized by the ANKC.

The Aussie Bulldog has stamina and their personality is one everyone could get attached to, they have a very sound temperament and have not been known to show and aggressivity problems that are uncontrollable.

The head structure of an Aussie Bulldog is one of its main attributes. It is very strong and square in appearance with good depth and width of muzzle and a pronounced stop between the eyes.

Although the best has been done to eliminate health problems within this breed, this does not mean that they are faultless, but all effort is put into breeding well natured Aussie Bulldog of good health and sound structure.

Aussie Bulldog breeders strive for continued consistency of a Bulldog that should produce males around 18/20 inches to the shoulder, solid & compact with good mussle tone, and females around 17/19 inches to the shoulder.

The body structure should denote great strength with good thickness of bone. For the females nice long bodies are preferred in order to produce better whelpers.

It is recommended that breeders keep as close to the standard as possible, keeping in mind type but not sacrificing health and function for good looks.

Like the English Bulldog, the Aussie Bulldog has an affectionate, outgoing nature, without any of the natural reserve seen in most breeds. They like to go swimming in summer and lay in the sun during winter months. Given the alertness of this breed, the Aussie Bulldog does have the ability to be a dependable watch dog at a mature age. With their intelligence and loyalty they are a very easy dog to teach at home but, as with any breed of dog, obedience training is recommended.

Breeders have been selectively breeding for many years now, with generations of breeding behind them from their foundation dogs and 5 generations of consistent Aussie litters.

All Aussie Bulldogs should come with a breed certificate.
