About Black Bulldogs
BLACK BULLDOGS
Here is just a few examples of the phenominal quality black bulldogs we have
produced.......We are expecting another litter of blacks very soon
Black bulldogs are a very rare yet old colour.  Bulldogs came in black and white
and black tri since the bredd first started long before the 1800"s.  The English
bulldog of today was originally bred from various breeds.  Mastiffs, Burgos
Mastiffs (which come in black and black tri), pugs (come inblack), Bandogges
(come in black, tri and blue) and largely Spanish Bulldogs (which come in black
and tri colours)  

After the English bulldog breed was out lawed for bull-baiting in 1835, the breed
came to near extinction until it was saved by soon to be exhibitor breeders that
had a love for the Englsih bulldog breed.  This is how the bulldog turned from a
fighting, working dog to the loving companion and show dog of today.  

The first bulldog breed standard was written in London around 1879.  When the
British Bulldog very first became a show dog, many show bulldogs came in black
or black and white.  Some bulldogs where called "BLACK-BACKED" because they
where completely blackish.  Eventually it was written in the bulldog standard that
the solid black was undesirable but not so objectionable if occurring to a
moderate degree in piebald patches.  Black colour is not a disqualification.  This
is the reason why blacks are rarely seen now even though the this colour was
largely behind the creation of the English bulldog breed.  

Because the colour black was written in the standard as undesirable many
decades ago, show English bulldog breeders started working to avoid black in
their breeding program, thus, black and tri coloured English bulldogs are very
rare today.  These rare colours randomly pop up in even the most prestigious
long standing champion show bloodlines.  These rare colours have become more
popular in recent years.  

For someone looking to purchase on of these rare coloured dogs, it can be very
difficult for many reasons.  This colour is very rare and it is very hard to find a
100% Canadian Kennel Club registered dog that has not been mixed with an
American or Olde English bulldog.  If the dog is not registered, there is a very
good chance its not a purebred.  God only knows what it will grow up to look like!  
The biggest challenge is finding a reputable breeder.  To the best of my
knowledge, we are the only registered and licensed breeder of these phenominal
coloured dogs in Canada.  Registered reputable rare colour bulldog breeders are
very hard to find largely because of the criticism we get from other breeders.  
Black is only a colour.  Personally, I don't care what other breeders have to say
about any of my dogs especially my blacks.  I know all my dogs are exceptional in
health, looks, temperament and pedigree.  To be honest, the blacks are my
personal favorite coloured bulldog.

I had a very well known Canadian bulldog breeder call me up one day for a chat.  
She went on how much she loved her dogs and showing them.  She also
remarked that all black bulldog puppies should be put down at birth.  Now this
person claims she loves bulldogs, but yet she would put a perfectly healthy puppy
down because of colour?  I ended the chat with exactly what I thought of her
remark.  Its a very cruel world out there, but to actually think breeders would put
down a puppy because it was not the perfect colour is disgusting and despicable.

When looking to buy a rare coloured dog, always make sure the parents are
Canadian Kennel Club registered and born in Canada.  Ask to see the parents
registration papers and make sure the dog/puppy you are buying will come
registered with the Canadian Kennel Club as the colour stated.  We have
produced some extremely rare coloured dogs to date.  Black and white, black tri,
bronze, blue fawn, blue fawn brindle, blue tri, chocolate brindle, chocolate tri and
silver tri.
