History of the Olde Staff Bulldogge

The Olde Staff Bulldogge is a relatively new hybrid, although the two breeds that make up the hybrid have a long history.

	A little of the American Staffordshire Terrier
	Before the 19th century, the Bulldog and an unknown Terrier, perhaps Fox or English, mixed to create the ancestor of the modern American Staffordshire Terrier. At first, these dogs were bred to bait bulls for the butcher and to participate in blood sports. Because of their strength and spirit, the breed was brought to America, where they continued to fight and began to be called Pit Bulls and Yankee Terriers. As Americans preferred slightly larger dogs than those from England, breeders chose this when breeding. In 1936, the breed was accepted by the American Kennel Club and in 1972, its name was changed to American Staffordshire Terrier to note the distinction between the breed and the smaller Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

	A little of the Olde English Bulldogge
	Between 1600 and 1700, the Olde English Bulldogge was born in England, becoming the ancestor of many of the Bull breeds we see today. Like the American Staffordshire Terrier, the Olde English Bulldogge was bred for bull baiting, participating in the sport until it was outlawed. Once the sport was no longer permitted, the breed's numbers declined sharply. While breeders decided to rebuild the breed, the decision was made to try to minimize its aggressiveness. The dogs that still existed were crossed with the Pug, resulting in a significant decline in the breed until it was decided to rebuild the breed, mitigating the aggressiveness of the original Olde English Bulldogge. The remaining dogs of the breed were crossed with the Pug, among other dogs, resulting in today's Olde English Bulldogges.
