How do you pronounce "Olde English Bulldogge"? Is the "e" silent in "Bulldogge? Do you pronounce it like "Bulldog"? What about "Olde"? Thanks!

Re: OEB

Thanks for the info, Julia(?). Whatever way we pronounce that breed, the fact is that my "Big Ben" is an amazing dog. Everything we expected in a pet and more, much more! We love him to death!

Hi Anne in KY! My dog's name is Big Ben. I'll send some pics maybe tomorrow when I learn how to do it!

This is a good place to ask.

Lots of knowledgeable folks come to this board.
Oh, I have friends in New Hamburg, one whose name is Anne, and in Kitchener.
BTW, what’s your dog’s name? To avoid confusion you could sign “Anne & ……” (putting in the name of your dog). Of course, it would be great if you could post a photo of your Olde English Bulldogge sometime. We’d enjoy that.
I grew up with bulldogs, but I don’t have any pets now, so I’m not sure what I could do with signing my name. Maybe I could put “Anne in KY”, just an idea.

Re: Hi, Anne! There's two of us now!

Lol! I have that problem too, even though my pup is only 4 1/2 months old. People hear the word "Olde" and give her a double-take!

Re: Hi, Anne! There's two of us now!

I am in Toronto, Canada. The reason I asked is because I am constantly being asked what breed my dog is. When I reply "Old English Bulldog" I always specify that he is only 9 months, because I don't want them to think that the adjective "old" refers to his age. Pronouncing the breed "Bull Doggie" would solve the problem...I think!

Hi, Anne! There's two of us now!

I did a double take when I saw your post, because I knew I hadn't asked that question. I'm in Kentucky, how about you?

Olde English Bulldogge is said "Old English Bulldog"  Every once in a while you'll hear "Bulldogge" as "Bull Doggie" but usually only at shows.
