“As long as there are outlaws, there will be bulldogs.

”
An outlaw is a man who had been put outside the protection of the law. The term “outlaw” is
commonly used to describe a criminal or someone who habitually violates the law. As a verb, “outlaw”
means to make an activity illegal. Historically, the word outlaw was used for Western criminals like Billy
the Kid or Jesse James, not so much for contemporary drug lords or serial killers. It has been said that the
difference between a criminal and an outlaw is that while criminals frequently are victims, outlaws never
are. Indeed, the first step toward becoming a true outlaw is the refusal to be victimized. All people who
live subject to other people's laws are victims. Also known as the Rebel Archetype, the outlaw yearns for
liberation from oppression. They're risk-takers, progressive, and exude bravery in all circumstances—
especially in the face of “The Man.”
A dog bred and tested for gameness is a bulldog. Since fighting dogs have been outlawed in most
jurisdictions all over the world, there is a far greater number of dogs not bred and tested to be bulldogs
and while they may generally look like bulldogs, are not. Only dogs bred and tested for gameness are
bulldogs. Only those bred and tested by outlaws. As long as there are outlaws, there will be bulldogs.
It took me many years to realize that it takes more than breeding two bulldogs to get bulldogs.
Breeding best-to-best examples may not always work. The specimens should be a good individual from a
good family to another good individual, whether it be the same or different families. By studying
breedings done in the past by outlaws who produced bulldogs, should you endeavor to breed bulldogs,
you can find recurring patterns, much like techniques used in breeding game fowl and racehorses.
Before ever thinking about having a bulldog, one must understand what a bulldog was, is, and
what should be.
A bulldog is bred to be a bulldog.
First, a bulldog is bred from fighting stock. These days, getting a good dog or pup is very
difficult, as countless scammers and peddlers surround the breed. A good piece of advice would be: don’t
get one until you have a correct theoretical idea of what you should get. Learn the history of the breed
first, and get around the right people who are into it for real. Don’t rush into getting the first available pup
or dog with pretty papers. Know the story of its ancestors in the pedigree, how they were bred, and how
they lived—also, know the stories of dogs that are related to the dogs in their pedigree. Don’t be
bamboozled into getting a dog from a family of cold/untested/curs. Most importantly, if you do not love
fighting dogs, do not try to have a bulldog.
 The dog in the pedigree above is a good example of what I am talking about. Ch 1 Spartacus’ sire
is Ch Optimus, who in turn is off Ch Bogart, who is a son of Ch Gokou. If we go further back, Gokou is
off Indian Rock POR2, who is a son of White’s Tab ROM 3, a son of the legendary Ch Jeep ROM.
Spartacus’ dam is a 2XW, sired by another winner, and so on. In short, most of everything you see in his
pedigree are winners. Those who were not winners, as far as the sire side, were dogs that I knew and can
tell that were fighting dogs. This is what you want: a pedigree with nothing but bulldogs if you ever
dream to raise a bulldog.

1
“CH” stands for “Champion.” A dog becomes a champion when he wins at least three sanctioned matches. If a
dog wins five, and no losses or draws, the dog will have the title of “GRCH” which means “Grand Champion.” A dog
that wins five but has at least one loss or draws is a champion.
2
“POR” is “Producer of Record.” A male dog needs 15 points to reach the POR title, and every win from his
offspring counts as one point. An extra point is added when a dog reaches CH and one more for reaching GRCH.
Bitches need only 10. A point is a win from an offspring of that dog.
3
“ROM” is “Register of Merit.” A male dog becomes eligible to be placed on the R.O.M. list if he has sired four or
more champions. The R.O.M. dog will be awarded one point for every champion he has sired and will receive one
additional point if any of the offspring should go on to become a Grand Champion. The rules are the same for
bitches to get on the Register of Merit list except that a bitch need only be the dam of three (3) Champions to gain
a spot on the list.
