The Bulldogs have announced their warm-up schedule for pre-season, with four games lined up for John Kear and his new-look squad.

The traditional Boxing Day clash with local rivals Dewsbury Rams will take place at the Tetley's Stadium on 26 December 2013 (12 noon kick-off), with both Heavy Woollen sides looking to establish bragging rights in the final game of 2013. The Bulldogs will then make the short trip across to the Shay on Sunday, 12 January 2014 (kick-off TBC) to renew their rivalry with Halifax RLFC.

John Kear and his charges will face Super League opposition on the evening of Friday, 24 January 2014 (kick-off TBC) when the Bulldogs make their first ever visit to Langtree Park to face St Helens and former favourite Alex Walmsley, before we conclude our pre-season campaign on Sunday, 9 February 2014 (2pm kick-off) with the visit of Keighley Cougars to the LRL.com Stadium.
