History

The breed formerly known as the Australian Bulldog got its start about thirty years ago in Queensland when Pip Nobes sought to develop a short-faced, smooth coated, thickset, medium-sized, family-friendly dog easily recognized as a Bulldog, but suitable for the climate found in Australia, New Zealand, and some neighboring islands (an area known as Australasia)
