The Victorian Bulldog, sometimes called the Mollett Victorian Bulldog after its founder, is a recreation of the taller, more athletic bulldogs of 19th-century England. London breeder Ken Mollett began the project in the 1980s, crossing English Bulldogs with Bullmastiffs, Staffordshire Bull Terriers and other related stock to restore the old build while easing the breathing and overheating problems linked to the modern Bulldog's extreme shape. The result keeps the classic broad head, wrinkles and sweet bulldog disposition, but on a longer muzzle and a lighter, more capable frame. The Victorian Bulldog is still considered a developing breed and is not recognized by the American Kennel Club.
Victorian Bulldogs are sturdy, medium-sized dogs, generally standing around 17 to 19 inches tall and weighing 55 to 75 pounds. They are affectionate, social and patient companions that typically do well with children, other dogs and household pets when raised with them, while keeping a watchful, protective instinct toward their home. The short coat needs only weekly brushing, though facial wrinkles should be wiped clean regularly, and owners should expect some drool, snoring and gas. Moderate daily walks suit them, with care taken in hot weather because the breed remains somewhat heat-sensitive despite its improved airways. Typical lifespan is around 10 to 12 years.
