Pre 1987 Kennel Club Standards

[keetin]

Has everyone read the ANKC minutes of October 2009 regarding the Pre 87 Standards as follows

2.8 Pre 1987 Kennel Club (England) Standards

> With the present political climate and the world wide pressure towards

> eliminating

> exaggeration from breed standards it has been unanimously resolved to

> cancel

> the current ANKC Policy of allowing breeds to adopt the Pre 1987 Kennel

> Club

> (England) Standards and for the ANKC to adopt the current standard from

> the

> Kennel Club (England) or from the Country of Origin/Development. For those

> breeds who originally chose to adopt the Pre 1987 Standard the National

> Breed

> Council, Breed Clubs or Owners will be surveyed to choose between the

> current

> Kennel Club standard or the Country of Origin/Development standard.

In other words we are doing away with all Pre 87 standards and we have to choose between the current

> Kennel Club standard or the Country of Origin/Development standard.

There will be alot of breed standards affected by this decision - for one is the British Bulldog who will be adopting the current Kennel Club standard that came into effect in October 2009 - a big change for the breed
