Myths and Misconceptions

With the age of computers came a whole new way for dishonest people to run scams. The dog world is no different than any other avenue for people to proclaim "RARE BREED" "RARE COLORS" "RARE BLUE EYES" "MINIATURE BULLDOG" when in reality they are nothing more than bad breedings.

In the BCA Bulldog Standard there is only one disqualification and that is a dog with a "dudley nose". A dudley nose refers to the pigment color which the standard is very clear on, "any nose other than black is objectionable and a brown or liver-colored nose shall disqualify". Likewise the notion that "chocolate is a rare color is yet but another fault and direct result of poor breeding practices. Here the standard is very specific also, " the various colors found in the breed are to be preferred in the following order 1) red brindle, 2) all other brindles, 3) solid white, 4) solid red, fawn or fallow, 5)piebald, 6)inferior qualities of all the foregoing. Solid black is very undesireable." And yes so called rare qualities such as chocolate color or blue eyes are rare, however they are not desireable qualities for a true Bulldog and a result of poor breeding practices.

Don't be fooled or duped into believeing that you are getting a "RARE" anything if it is not in the Bulldog Standard IT IS WRONG.
If it is not a color in the standard, have black noses and dark eyes it is not CORRECT.
