Brief History on the Aussie Bulldog



The Aussie Bulldog breeding program was started by Noel & Tina Green
(Founders of the J.A.G line) to create a Bulldog suitable to Australia.
The foundation lines of this breed started in 1993, and years later linking up with Pip Nobes and her foundation dogs. These original foundation lines from Greens & Nobes were bred back to British bulldogs to get the ideal bulldog look required, being a breed percentage of 81.25 % or 13/16.

The name Aussie Bulldog came about through discussions between Noel & Tina, in July of 1997 on a small horse and cattle property south of Toowoomba QLD. A week later they put the first ad for Aussie bulldog pups in the Brisbane courier mail classifieds and  had an overwhelming response to the puppies they had for sale. The following year the Aussie Bulldog appeared on the Bourke's back Yard program, on TV and a follow up Bourke's  Backyard magazine.

The original Jag lines were made up of Staffy, Boxer, Bullmastiff, British Bulldog, and later concentrated more on Bullmastiff cross British bulldog bloodlines which are behind most Aussie Bulldogs today.

The J D Johnson American Bulldog was introduced in 1999 for their known whelping ability and solid body type.These dogs were from Cauchi kennels originally in Sydney's western suburbs. Cauchi also sold American bulldog breeding females to Devass kennels in QLD which were later used to start their Aussie bulldog foundation line.
The Greens registrar was handed to the Cauchis for 18 mths in May 2001.
The Cauchi registrar is still in place today, but the UABA breeder records and previous records dating back to 9-06-88 being Jag foundation dogs have always been personally held by Noel & Tina up to and including current breed details and registrations from 80 breeders .

The United Aussie Bulldog Association was formed in 2003 to bring all these lines together as a group of breeders and to continue the documentation of this emerging new breed for the future.

The Nobes line dogs started from an English Bullterrier cross Rottweiler female known as Nobes lady penny, and then were mainly structured on Boxer bloodlines bred back to British Bulldogs which was her Wingarra line, later on bringing in the use of Bullmastiff. There were other breeds originally used behind the Hamersley line and Ducat lines which you can view on the Australian bulldog society web site " ABS" that was formed in 2005 by Pip Nobes.

Whether this breed  becomes registered with the Australian National Kennel Council or not ,they have already been recognised by Australians, for their improved function and lovable nature, and this will not change regardless of ANKC recognition
