ATTENTION - ALL BULLDOG JUDGES !!

who are really serious about

preserving and improving the Bulldog breed.

Please take note that the future standard of our Bulldogs are gravely endangered

because of ignorant or politically motivated judges who award CC’s and even

BOB’s to Bulldogs with one or more of the following serious hereditary faults:

Wry maxilla (upper jaw)

Wry mandible (lower jaw)

Sway back

Please realise that by awarding a CC to one of these Bulldogs, you are in fact

encouraging future breeding with such a specimen, thereby establishing these highly

hereditary and dominant abnormalities in the offspring and which is virtually

impossible to breed out in future generations.

Please make sure that you are familiar with these most serious faults before attempting

to judge the Bulldog and please take a moment to consider your responsibility as a

judge towards our breed before awarding and signing a CC certificate.
