IS THIS TRUE Back in 1999 the British Kennel club set up the Working party for the American Bulldog to try and set up a registry for this breed and any other breed that entered the country that was recognised by its own Kennel Club. In the case for the USA it would be the AKC (American Kennel Club) but failed in its aims, this was down to a few things, two Hines American Bulldogs were placed on the Dangerous Dogs Act of 1991, and to many people against the breed in general (British Bulldog Council for one). Since the Working Party failed to get the American Bulldog recognised by our Kennel Club, this breed will not be accepted. the America Bulldog is not a breed listed by any of the recognised Kennel clubs, not the American, the UK nor the International another quote on the internet The American Bulldog is not a recognised breed in the UK (It's not recognised by the American Kennel Club either) Why is the american bulldog not recognised by any of the kennel clubs? The kennel club will not recognise or show the american bulldog and owners now are resorted to using papers from sub standard systems. From the DEFRA website: It is important to note the word “type”, as none of the prohibited dogs are recognised breeds in Great Britain. The terms of section 1 of the DDA make it clear that it applies not only to “pure” Pit Bull Terriers but also to any dog of the type known as the Pit Bull Terrier. Whether section 1 of the DDA applies to any particular cross will depend on whether the resulting dog is of the prohibited type – that is to say, whether it has the physical and behavioural characteristics of the prohibited type. Remember that the characteristics are essential in deciding whether or not the dog is prohibited. Not all Pit Bull Terriers will be described as a Pit Bull Terrier by their owner. Some owners may deliberately misrepresent the breed of their dog using terms such as American Staffordshire Terriers (Am Staffs or ASTs), American Bulldogs and the Presa Canaria. Other names used to describe the Pit Bull Terrier types may be Irish Staffordshire Bull Terriers (not to be confused with a Staffordshire Bull Terrier bred in Ireland), Old Fashioned Staffords or Traditional Staffords. There are likely to be other names being used by people breeding fighting dogs. If a person arriving in this country produces paperwork that purports to prove that the dog is not a prohibited type it is necessary for the authorities to be cautious. Paperwork accompanying the dog should be detailed and comprehensive. Owners should be aware that if the dog displays the defining characteristics that are represented in the prohibited types the dog could be seized and its fate decided by the courts irrespective of the paperwork. It is therefore necessary to be very cautious when buying a dog that is not Kennel Club registered particularly if you are considering bringing a dog to this country from overseas. If there is any doubt as to whether the dog in question could be considered to be of the prohibited type, the advice is NOT to bring it into this country .
