General: The Renascence Bulldogge is a recent recreation or rebirth of the larger more physically functional athletic Bulldogge that existed from about 1820-1900. The Renascence Bulldogge should appear very muscular while retaining athletic ability.

Origin: Minnesota & Alabama, USA.

History: The name "Renascence" (not to be confused with the word "Renaissance") means "rebirth". This name is fitting we believe because our Renascence Bulldogge's are supposed to be a recreation or rebirth of the larger more physically functional athletic Bulldogge that existed from about 1820-1900. The name Renascence Bulldogge was picked out and Trademarked by Chadde JoliCoeur to represent the style of bulldog the RBKC is seeking to promote and reproduce to protect the interests of those involved with it. This was done to prevent other people and other registries from attaching and wrongfully applying the RB name to their Bulldogge's and bull breed crosses. Chadde JoliCoeur and Jody Willingham started the RBKC when both had became frustrated at the total lack of uniformity and consistency between the modern alternative bulldogge recreations currently being produced and labeled under the "catch all" name of Olde English Bulldogge. Dogs being labeled under this catch all term can range from the original Leavitt OEB's to that of a large longer muzzled mastiff type dog to that of a bigger version of the modern EB to combinations of every thing in between. Because of the vast physical and health differences between the dogs being labeled under this catch all term and the confusion it creates, Chadde and Jody assembled a dedicated group of breeders with established bloodlines who's breeding program's were all aimed at producing the same style of Bulldogge to be the core breeding foundation of the RB breed. This group devised a standard and a registry to help promote, maintain and improve the athletic functional Bulldogge's they were creating between them.

Temperament: Friendly and outgoing, but a fearless adversary to anyone who threatens his master or property. Unfriendliness to strangers isn't a defect, although it's unusual.

Size: Ideal weight for males and females is 60-90lbs.

Today's Uses: Today many are Renascence Bulldogge's are devoted pets but many are trained and titled in protection work. Renascence Bulldogge's also make a very good Weight Pull dog and more will be seen in coming years Working the weight pull circuit.
