NKC American Bulldog Information
Clubs
that host American Bulldog Shows now have the
option of hosting a Junior Champion Class.
A win will be awarded for this class and dog of
the year points will be awarded.
Effective immediately any American Bulldog
that is being single registered must have either been
previously registered by another registry or it must be
inspected by a licensed American Bulldog Judge that is
active on NKC American Bulldog Judges list. A Vet inspection
is not longer accepted for American Bulldogs. Any dog
that does not meet the above requirements for registration
can petition the NKC office for registration by submitting a
completed application along with several pictures front,
back and both sides. Those applications will be
forwarded to the American Bulldog Board for verification of
breed and possible registration.

Announcements
Memo Concerning Hog Competitions
The National Kennel Club
does not sanction Catch Dog events, nor will it sanction Conformation Show in
conjunction with these event.
Any Club wishing to hold
an NKC sanctioned Show must summit proof of insurance along with the show
application for the show to be scheduled.
As of September 22nd 2003, NKC
will only register dogs that meet the 7/8 purity requirement. If the NKC
finds any person (s) has registered any dog (s) that do not meet the 7/8
requirement, the papers on those dogs will be pulled and the registration
nullified. Any repeat offender of this policy will be barred from all NKC
Events and will no longer be given registration privileges. From this date
forward all dogs with questionable or unverifiable lineage must be
physically inspected by an authorized breed inspector to be considered for
registration. The National Kennel Club has no intention of going back and
investigating all dog previously registered; however, several dogs have been
brought to our attention. If those dogs are bred back into the bloodline
decreasing the Purity percentage we will refuse to allow those dogs to be
registered.
