French Bulldog Breed Standards Around the World
There are several different breed standards for the French
Bulldog, from several different countries, or organizations which cover
groups of countries.
The FCI, for example, stands for Federation Cynologique
Internationale (Basically, International Canine Federation). The FCI standard
is what is used in 80 different countries, including Japan, Argentina,
Brazil, Greece and Russia. Canada, the USA and the UK all follow their
own version of the standard.
The UKC, or United Kennel Club, should not be confused with
fly by night registries. Rather, it is an alternative to the AKC which
was founded in 1898, and places emphasis on both working abilities, and
conformation.
It's can be interesting to look at the breed standard from
several different countries, and see how they differ, and how they are
the same. Sometimes it's as simple as a sentence being worded slightly
differently. Here are links to different breed standards for you to have
a look at.
