Faults in American Bullies

Faults in American Bullies

An eliminating fault is a fault that is severe enough to prevent the dog from receiving any medals at a conformation event. Any exaggerated or overdone trait that would make it difficult to engage in physical activity or perform well at work.

• excessively huge, hefty, and with a head disproportionate to the body
• muzzle so short and harsh as to impede proper breathing
• Snipey muzzle
• lower jaw weakness
• excessive flounce
• The muzzle was gently tilted up at the nostrils
• Undershot bite
• Wry bite
• Front legs bent to the point of impeding normal mobility
• chest so wide as to interfere with regular mobility
• Spattered feet
• Bobbed tail

Excessively tall, excessively short, or too huge canines, including dogs with a height so far from what is wanted as to damage health, structure, movement, and physical aptitude, are also considered faulty and hence cannot take part in exhibitions or club activities.

Despite the fact that this breed is known for its aggression, handlers will be expected to adhere to the UKC’s dog temperament guidelines during UKC competitions.

In the United States, dog owners have the option to legally dock or crop their pets’ tails and ears as they see fit. Even so, the United Kennel Club is aware that several countries have banned the practise of cropping and docking. In light of these recent changes, no dog in any United Kennel Club event, including conformation, will be punished for having a full tail or natural ears.
