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.
