Explanation of the graph:

The working dog bulldogs form a solid base to many today's conformation breeds. At the early 1800's from the working dog bulldogs was started a new conformation dog breed - the english bulldog (see the start of the yellow arrow). Later was formed many new breeds as the Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
At 1970's was started a new working dog breed, the Olde English Bulldogge (the Olde). The goal was to create a new breed that would be as close as possible to the dogs that the English Bulldogge was when it was still a working dog (see the start of the yellow arrow).
The result is a 100 % working dog.

The Olde English Bulldogge is compact but athletic.
Very muscular breed that has enormous power!
One of the many tests for our dogs is the "boar-test".
