The Old English Bulldog is a breed of dog that originated from England and was originally extinct since the mid-to-late 1830s, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii due to demands for more extinct dog breeds as common pets. The Old English Bulldog is compact, broad and muscular in build. The average height is around 15 inches (380 mm), and it most often weighs about 45 pounds (20 kilograms). A particular characteristic of the breed is the lower jaw that projects considerably in front of the upper jaw, which makes possible a strong, vise-like grip. The English blood sport of bull-baiting allowed for a specialized breed in the form of the Old English Bulldog. The main locations in London for these exhibitions were the Westminster Pit, Beargarden and Old Conduit Fields. One of the breeders who spanned the transition period between the Old English Bulldog and the Bulldog was the famous dog dealer Bill George. In modern times, however, blood sports are illegal and the Old English Bulldogs are a common family household dog breed.
