History of
the IOEBA
The International Olde English
Bulldogge Association was established in 1995 by Richard
Mullens. Mr. Mullens is a long time dog breeder with over 30
years of expertise in canine husbandry. Mr. Mullens began his
involvement with rare breeds in 1987. He has bred and or trained
almost every breed of Molosser.
In 1995 Mr. Mullens became aware that there was a need for a
registry to promote and preserve the Olde English Bulldogge. At
the time, the only breed specific registry registered only dogs
bred or approved by one breeder. Mr. Mullens had been in
contact with a number of breeders scattered throughout the
United States, Canada, Spain, Brazil and Great Britain who had
been breeding "Oldes" for years but were unable to register
their Olde English Bulldogges.
The International Olde English Bulldogge
Association started out with a few well established breeders
such as: Mighty Mac Bulldogs owned by Jim and Judy McIntosh,
Crossbow Farms owned by Vera Rangel, Gallant Farms owned by
Craig Green and a few other select breeders.
Over the next few years the International Olde English
Bulldogge Association grew steadily. By 2001 several thousand
Olde English Bulldogges had been registered with the
International Olde English Bulldogge Association.
The International Olde English Bulldogge Association is now
continuing under new ownership. The new owners are dedicated to
making the International Olde English Bulldogge Association the
premier Bulldogge registry in the world.
