Is there a distinction between them. I think my bully looks like an olde but the breeder who I found from the akc website said he was English.

Usually Olde Enlgish are taller and weigh much more than bullies...They have longer noses and not as many wrinkles...When Brutus was a young pup people used to tell me Olde/boxer and I would get upset but they have so much filling out to do in the next year or so that they will change...Brutus still has a longer nose and not a huge rope but he is 100% english...I cant see the picture :(

Looks 100% English to me! Around 4-5 months they are lanky and look long but as he gets older you will see him fill out more and he wont look so long LOL He is such a handsome boy :)

That's about the same body-type and wrinkle-amount as my Angus. And Angus carries AKC papers.

Olde English are generally taller and heavier than EBs.

I don't really know the range of variation in EBs and I don't know if AKC papers really mean that much these days. But, one thing I do know, my Angus is the typical EB sweet personality. Ah, I'm crazy in love with him. You can call him a chihuahua for all I care. :D

My Bob is the same way...He's 6 months old and very long legged. But he's all bully..just a lot of growing to do. Olde EB's also have a long tail if I remember correctly.

Your boy is beautiful. OEBs usually live longer and have fewer health problems than EBs. They are usually longer and taller and most are born with tails that are docked when they are 3 days old. Genetically they are EB, Bull Mastiff, American Bulldog, and ??, I think Pit Bull. They breed and whelp naturally, no c-section. They are mostly EB, have the same sweet temperament but don't have the breathing issues because their airways are bigger.

I asked the vet if Otis was Olde English or Just English. She asked me if he snored. She said OEB's don't have the breathing problems that EB's have so since he doesn't snore, he's probably Olde. Abby on the other hand sounds like a chain saw when she sleeps
