and even though  I was able to achieve that goal, I was still not satisfied with some  of the features like resilience, breathing, natural whelping etc. The venerable animal expert, Dr. h.c. Hans Räber who deplorably has passed  away but with whom I often exchanged ideas about these problems,  explained to me that just through selection I would never be able to  obtain a considerable improvement due to the loss of important gene  which are  responsible for health and fitness. These could only be brought   back through outcrossing.

These discussions made me all the more determined to execute my  long-harboured idea to infuse new blood. In order not to diverge too far from the Bulldog type and to preserve its special temperament I decided to have a closer look at the Olde English Buldogge (OEB) and found out that this breed would be
very suitable for my purpose.
