Hey guys! So I am really fascinated by bulldogs and terriers (though the less brachy ones admittedly) and during my research I came across this breed. Its only recognized by IOEBA and one other (the acronyms escape me, all those As and Cs and Ks!). Supposedly Charles McCaughin (first/main breeder of the current OBB I think) wanted boston bulldogs back to how they were pre-1930s, to bring back their functionality and health without the AKC's blessing. I have only found a handful of breeders who bred these dogs but wanted more information. So since the search function failed me horribly here has anyone here encountered an OBB before? Can you guys give me anymore information? Is it true? Is it fiction? Should we start breeding back to when a dog's eyeballs were actually inside its skull? Here is a link to McCaughin's writings, vision and theory (he has since passed on): http://www.bostonetts.com/charlesmccaughin.htm And some breeders to check out the dogs: (I'm not sure if its alright to do this, I'm not associated with any of them and just wanted to give as much info as possible.) http://www.bostonetts.com/ http://www.oklassic.com/ http://www.freewebs.com/boston_bulldogges/ D'awwww! Just /look/ at them! They are like the ultimate cross of Staffy and Boston Terrier, bless'em. <3
they look like french bulldog crosses. why not look into the leavitt bulldog? there is at least one breeder in the uk.
Oh they do look like leavitt bulldogs! Bulldoggy without the brachy-ness. Man, sometimes I really can't tell the difference between all these crosses. I know with the olde boston bulldogge some have similiar 'pricked' ears of the boston terrier and they are specifically bred for function and temperament. I'll have to check out these Leavitt Bulldogs, they look pretty neat but I wonder about temperament.
