History of the White Coat
The White Bulldog coat is typically classified as a standard or traditionally accepted coat color within Bulldog Clubs and the AKC. Historically, the White English Bulldog was one of the original coat colors within the English Bulldog breed standard originally created and observed, with the 2nd color being red. In the early 1800’s Bulldogs were primarily used for jobs connected to bull baiting and bear hunting in Europe. The dog was designed low to the ground and its behavior was quite tough and aggressive. As the practices of bull baiting and bear hunting were eventually banned, the Bulldog’s popularity and function waned. Having become obsolete in the job it was designed for, bulldog enthusiast, drawn to the loyalty and toughness of the breed, quickly pivoted and began breeding for a less aggressive dog with the intention of creating a companion dog. Breed standards were drawn with the intention of reducing the aggressiveness of the breed. At the time, white and red coated bulldogs were most commonly viewed as having a calmer, less aggressive demeanor thus drawing favor within those creating the breed standard. The white coated english bulldog, along with red, were quickly established as traditional colors and more desirable as a means of controlling the original bulldog’s demeanor. Over time, the fawn coat color (which was at first viewed as more aggressive) was accepted as the 3rd traditional coat color to make up the English Bulldog breed standard.
Bruiser Bulldog’s Take on White Coats
We absolutely love our white bulldogs! Some of the original Bruiser Bulldogs that we started breeding with were from white bloodlines. We love the history of the white bulldog and its place as one of the original coat colors of the breed. Certainly the white bulldog will always have its place as the foundation of the bulldog breed and should be recognized by that importance. With the current craze of rare colored bulldogs it appears that the classic white bulldog is becoming more uncommon simply because of breeder selection favoring rare colors. Ironically, the white coat is now often more uncommon to see than the traditional “rare colors” such as black tri or chocolate. In our minds this increases the value and appeal of white bulldogs and elevates its status as a classic. While white English Bulldog Puppies for sale are beautiful we are very careful with our genetic selection amongst this coat type. We will intentionally avoid “all white” parents as occasionally deafness is associated with pure white and especially female bulldogs. All of our white bulldogs undergo extensive auditory tests to ensure they are of perfect hearing before they go to their new homes. Often our goal is to achieve the best pairing of a predominantly white bulldog with some patches or piebald coloring in the mix. This combination allows for the classic white bulldog look but ensures that deafness is not a problem. As long as there is some coloration within the coat color, the risk of deafness is the same as any other color combination among the English Bulldog spectrum.
