Incorporation of Eliminating Faults in UKC Breed Standards

Recently, the UKC made the decision to incorporate the concept of Eliminating Faults in several of our breed standards. These replaced height disqualifications in those standards. In most cases, the breed standard revisions will be effective July 1, 2009.

An Eliminating Fault is a fault serious enough that it eliminates a dog from receiving any awards at a conformation event. Height disqualifications were changed to Eliminating Faults because UKC recognizes that a dog that does not meet a height requirement might well be of significant value to a breeding program. We feel that removing a dog from the gene pool for being too big or too small removes a choice that is better left for breeders to consider. The Eliminating Fault effectively removes a dog from competition but does not preclude that dog from being used in a thoughtful breeding program.

American Bulldog

Bulldogs in England were originally working dogs who drove and caught cattle and guarded their masters' property. They were brought by working class immigrants to the American South where they used this all-around working dog for many tasks. By the end of World War II, however, the breed was almost extinct. Mr. John D. Johnson, a returning war veteran, decided to resurrect this breed. The modern American Bulldog continues to serve as an all-purpose working dog; a fearless and steady guard dog; and a loyal family companion.
