About Us
The Olde English Bulldogge Kennel Club (OEBKC) is the national breed club for the Olde English
Bulldogge. The mission of the OEBKC is first and foremost to assist its breeder organization in
continually improving the breed through disciplined breeding programs that emphasize health,
temperament, athleticism, and consistent conformation within the Olde English Bulldogge breed
standard.
The OEBKC was established in 2001 by several breeders and fanciers of the Olde English Bulldogge.
It was established in an effort to meet the growing needs of the breed, the owners, and the breeders of
the Olde English Bulldogge. The American Rare Breed Association (ARBA.org) quickly adopted the
OEBKC as the National Breed Club of the Olde English Bulldogge, and continues to recognize it as
such today. In 2005, David Leavitt merged the OEBA (Olde English Bulldogge Association) Registry
with that of the OEBKC, and declared the OEBKC to be the official registry of the true Olde English
Bulldogge. The OEBKC currently maintains a registry database of over 625 dogs that are traceable
back to the original Leavitt foundation stock.
Although we are a small club, the enthusiasm and interest that the breed and club is attracting is very
exciting. The Club and Breed were recently accepted by the Canine Developmental Health &
Performance Registry (CDHPR.com) in 2010, This was just the first step in getting the breed full
recognition by the United Kennel Club (UKC.com). The CDHPR was developed by the UKC as an
independent registry to help the UKC organize the registries of rare/new breeds before they can be
eligible for full recognition into the UKC registry. The OEBKC worked very hard promoting the breed.
January 1, 2014, the United Kennel Club welcomed the Olde English Bulldogge to its list of recognized
breeds. The breed will be in the Guardian Dog Group. The Olde English Bulldogge Kennel Club is the
National organization representing this wonderful breed.
The club is attracting more and more Olde English Bulldogge fanciers that are not only interested in
conformation shows, but also in Obedience, Agility, Weight Pull, and therapy work.
The enthusiasm and involvement in the Olde English Bulldogge is stronger than ever before and
growing rapidly. This interest is not contained solely in the U.S. There are many Olde English
Bulldogges as well as breeders in Canada and overseas as well.
