Dedicated to the preservation of the White English Bulldog. "A breed apart" "In Molossus there is a breed of dog, which serves as guardian of the herds, which distinguishes itself from all other dogs through it's size and indomitable courage against wild animals. Varro reports in his book on agriculture of two kinds of dogs that were bred in this country. The first were hunting dogs and the second large herding dogs, who effectively protect sheep and goats...'The lower jaw is undershot. From it grows two teeth, one on the left, the other on the right, which are only slightly exposed...These dogs have large heads and drooping ears, a strong nape and neck. The tail is thick, the bark sonorous, the jaws large; the color is usually white, so that it can be distinguished from predators at night.' These dogs were used principally to guard the herds, but they were also superbly suited for use as war dogs. Apparently, in peacetime the white dogs stayed with the large herds..." Dr. Dieter Fleig
"Functional type can survive non-pedigree breeding for centuries to emerge as a distinct type which breeds true." The Mastiffs - The Big Game Hunters
"It is easy to forget the shepherds' mastiffs of England until hearing of the prowess in one of the mastiff breeds like this. The shepherds' mastiff were big, tough, drovers' dogs, able to protect the herd or flock on the driveways to urban markets or to pin wayward cattle in the market or for the butcher. The mastiff breeds are working dogs and must have a construction and temperament which permits this." Col. David Hancock "We also know that this breed," (shepherds' mastiff), "went out to... Spain, Mallorca, and Cuba between 1556 and 1649." Robert Jenkins and Ken Mollet We believe the term White English Bulldog is a reference to these imports. We come to this simple conclusion based on the facts of known written history. To begin with, we know that the Spanish first conquered and settled Florida, with St. Augustine as it's military nerve center for all of Spain's new world. Secondly, we know that a colony of Mollorcan and Balearic Island immigrants was established at New Smyrna Beach on the east coast of Florida. As well, we know that during Queen Anne's War in America, many Spanish reinforcements were brought into Florida from Cuba.
