General Information

Below are several weblinks that we have greatly benefited in our initial stages of learning. We highly suggest that they be utilized for any beginning research in to the Olde English Bulldogge, or the general working dog community.

Olde English Bulldogge Links

Below are the ONLY 2 organizational websites where you will find information on (and gain direct contact with people who are breeding and/or promoting) the TRUE Olde English Bulldogge, as created by David Leavitt.

The Leavitt Bulldog Association (LBA)

http://leavittbulldogassociation.com/

The Olde English Bulldogge Kennel Club (OEBKC) 

http://oebkc.com/ 

*IMPORTANT INFORMATION*
Here is a link where you will find information on dogs who are bred and called "Olde English Bulldogge" but have NO FULL GENETIC RELATIONSHIP to the Olde English Bulldogge, originally created by David Leavitt.

This is not to say that they are not nice bulldogs, and not even to say that they are not pure-bred lines. They are just, at most, partially related to the breed created by David Leavitt (Olde English Bulldogge). This is very important information to be aware of in this particular breed in order to avoid confusion of interested breed enthusiasts.

Schutzhund Training Clubs and Links

I am a newcomer to working dogs in general, but  with all of the dedicated hours and hours of hard work and effort that goes into Schutzhund training, I am FAR from being anything but a novice in Schutzhund. However, I feel as though I have gotten off to the best foot possible by beginning training with the Commonwealth Working Dog Club (CWDC), and now the Greater Washington DC Schutzhund Group. In both of these groups, I have the great opportunity to learn from world-reknown schutzhund trainers and competitors. I am currently working on novice-level obedience, protection, and scent.
