AT THE BULLDOG BREED COUNCIL MEETING HELD THIS MORNING 29.09.09 ATTENDED BY
16 OF THE MEMBER CLUBS TO DISCUSS THE INTENDED PUBLICATION ON OCTOBER 1.2009
BY THE KENNEL CLUB OF ITS REVISED BULLDOG BREED STANDARD THE FOLLOWING
STATEMENT WAS RELEASED FOR PUBLICATION IN THE DOG PRESS;


"THE BREED COUNCIL IS DISAPPOINTED WITH THE RESULT OF THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH
THE KENNEL CLUB REGARDING THE STANDARD. WE ARE PARTICULARLY DISAPPOINTED BY
THE STATEMENT EMANATING FROM THE KENNEL CLUB THAT THE HEALTH OF THE BREED
HAS DETERIORATED WHEN IN FACT THE OPPOSITE IS CLEARLY THE CASE AS EVIDENCED
BY THE SUCCESS OF THE BREED IN GROUP AND BEST IN SHOW COMPETITION AND THE
HUGE RISE IN POPULARITY OF THE NATIONAL BREED.
CONTRARY TO THE RUMOURS, THE BREED COUNCIL WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE
KENNEL CLUB TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE BULLDOG"
