The club had about 30 members and its motto was "Hold on." A club member wrote the first breed standard under the pseudonym Philo-Kuon. The Bulldog breed standard was proven to be the first in the world. Unfortunately, the club broke up again after only three years.
In 1875 another Bulldog Club was formed and they developed a breed standard similar to that of Philo-Kuon. This breeding club still exists today.

It was one of the first breed clubs to become a member of the new American Kennel Club. Initially the club used the British breed standard, but felt that this was not precise enough and so, in 1894, developed the American standard, which gave rise to the name American Breed Bulldog. The English protested against the name and some points of the new standard. After much work, the revised standard was accepted in 1896. This standard still exists today.
