The Old English Bulldog was compact, broad and muscular, as reflected in the well-known depiction Crib and Rosa.
Through John Scott's engraving, this painting became the best-known and most reproduced painting of dogs from that period.
As described in the Philo-kuon standard from 1865, the average height was approximately 15 inches (380 mm), and they weighed about 45 pounds (20 kg).
A particular characteristic of the breed was the lower jaw that projected considerably in front of the upper jaw, which made possible a strong, vise-like grip.
