This is a BIG show for the UKC and will generate much interest in the TRUE Olde English Bulldogge, as well as be a fantastic opportunity to become familiar with UKC events and learn more about how the Second largest "PUREBRED" Dog Registry in the world operates.
The UKC Premier runs for 4 days, where an estimated 900-1500 people a day will pass through. This will be a great chance for OEB owners to help the breed get some long over due, positive exposure.
Events include; Three UKC® Licensed All-Breed (Conformation) Dog Shows • Two Agility Trials • Two Dog Sport Trials • Two Obedience Trials • Two Rally Obedience Trials • Two Terrier Races • Two Weight Pulls • Vendors and much more
We encourage our members to participate in the events held by ARBA. It is important to note that ARBA has been in existence for more than 15 years. They are a VERY credible entitie that offers a clear path for participants to obtain a legitimate Championship title for their dog(s).
They are NOT simply a group of people who get together a couple of times each year to try and lend credibility to the dogs they have produced.
The ARBA calendar is below. We hope to see you at the Showgrounds!
We are sorry to inform you that the North American Kennel Club (NAKC) has recently dropped the OEBKC breed standard in favor of the IOEBA breed standard. The OEBKC will no longer endorse or encourage titles from this Club. There is no process to verify that the dogs being shown in NAKC Shows are actually purebred dogs. The owners of NAKC are well aware of this problem and have advised us that verifying bloodlines isn't their resposnibility, they simply offer conformation shows. In other words, they do not promote pure bred conformation shows, as long as you have the money and your dog looks like a specific breed, you can show your hybrid dog against actual purebred dogs. They are well aware that "FOUNDATION STOCK" within the first 5 generations of a dogs pedigree indicates that dog is CLEARLY NOT A PUREBRED animal. You can find the term "FOUNDATION STOCK" within the first 3 generations of many IOEBA and CKC pedigrees.)
