Loyal and intelligent, the English Bull Dane is a hybrid breed that was developed from English Bulldog and the Great Dane. The breed’s history is widely unknown but it is suspected that the breed was developed as a result of the designer dog trend. Hybrid breeds are often modified in order to create a healthier breed. This responsive and alert canine is known for being affectionate with his family. He would prefer to remain by your side rather than going off to chase squirrels. This breed is not known to be a nuisance barker and only engages in occasional barking. His short but dense coat allows for simple grooming routines. The English Bulldog has moderate energy levels that will require daily exercise.
The English Bull Dane is more likely to take the general height of the Great Dane. Due to the breed’s lack of official standards, his appearance can inherit dominant traits from either the English Bulldog or the Great Dane. Generally, the face can resemble the English Bulldog but with a slightly longer muzzle. His strong, athletic build can be attributed to the Great Dane’s structure. His coat varies in color and can inherit white, black, and brown with occasional spots. His eyes are generally light or dark brown. His parallel legs are straight and powerful. His giant paws are inherited from the Great Dane as well. The tail is thin, short-coated, and hangs straight over the body.
The English Bull Dane is not considered a hypoallergenic hybrid breed and does shed moderately. Daily brushing for 10 to 15 minutes with a curry rubber brush will suffice in order to eliminate dead hairs. Bathing should be limited to every 6 to 8 weeks to prevent overproduction of oils in the skin. Ears should be wiped and cleaned weekly to prevent earwax debris. Teeth should be brushed daily to prevent tartar buildup. Nails should be trimmed or filed every 2 to 3 weeks. This breed is known to drool and may contain a moderate odor to the skin.
The English Bull Dane is a down-to-earth and gentle breed that wants to please his family. This low-key canine prefers to spend the day with you instead of hunting. His bark is occasional and does not present a nuisance concern. While the Great Dane is not good with newcomers, the English Bull Dane is loving and accepting of new people. He welcomes young children and other animals as he is a friendly breed. His moderate energy levels means he is less likely to engage in property destruction if left alone for a few hours. While this loyal breed is accepting of new people, there is always a possibility he may become wary of others. Early training and socialization is recommended in order to prevent any potential aggression. Positive reinforcement is recommended to ensure he is kept safe within his surroundings. His quiet and responsive nature makes for a wonderful companion.
Your English Bull Dane possesses moderate energy levels that will require meeting daily exercise requirements. He will benefit from fetching, walking, and running in order to ensure he remains healthy. About two walks per day are recommended to ensure he meets his minimum requirements. Since your lovable dog is not considered the most active, he would be more than happy accompanying you to your couch for a lazy day. Apartment living is acceptable as long as he is provided with outdoor exercise to enrich his mind. Your English Bull Dane would be best suited in an urban home with a fenced-in yard and a warm climate.
