As per the United Canine Assoc. & the International Olde English Bulldogge Assoc.
 

 General Description :  The Bantam Bulldogge, previously named English Bantam Bulldogge is a modern recreation of what many Bulldogs started looking like in the early 1800’s when some of the Bulldogs that had been used in previous centuries for bull and bear baiting started to be bred down in size to a "Toy Bulldogs" small bulldog weighing between 20lbs - 40lbs. 

The perfect Bantam Bulldogge should be of short to medium height with a square-looking head and a strong, muscular body.  The disposition should be friendly, brave, and loyal.  The temperament is to be steady and dependable.

Male Bantam Bulldogges should be free breeders and female Bantam Bulldogges should free whelp as a rule.

The Bantam Bulldogge should not have the same breathing or activity limitations of some modern bull breeds. 

The typical lifespan of a Bantam Bulldogge is between 10 and 14 years.

  Muzzle :  The muzzle of the Bantam Bulldogge should be broad, deep and short with moderate wrinkling.  The bite is undershot with the bottom jaw turning up noticeably.  Lower canines should not protrude.  Muzzle too long (more than 3 inches), scissor bite or even bite are disqualifying faults.  Muzzle should be no shorter than 1 ½”.  Fault:  Muzzle too long, scissor or even bite.  Wry jaw is a disqualifying fault.
