 my response to staff is below and I am sending to you for PCs to know what is 
going on as emails and texts are flying (Unfortunately tonight BOB was also 
taken away from the Clumber Spaniel).

We should prepare a statement after all facts are in. However you can assure 
and share with everyone that AKC will NEVER allow any such practice to occur. 
Our Parent Clubs own their respective standard and we support them 100 percent. 
Furthermore a Judges' decision is final and we respect that as well. The 
situation is a very disappointing one here from the point of view of breeders, 
exhibitors and judges and fanciers from around the world. In summary while our 
PCs have a right to be upset and concerned I will never allow this wrongful 
practice in America. Never!!! Dennis

The Bulldog & Peke were eliminated from advancing beyond BOB because of the 
mandatory vet inspection of these "targeted" breeds: 
Basset Hound, Bloodhound, Bulldog, Chow Chow, Clumber Spaniel, Dogue De 
Bordeaux, German Shepherd Dog, Mastiff, Neapolitan Mastiff, Pekingese, Shar 
Pei, St Bernard, French Bulldog, Pug and Chinese Crested. 
See: http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/item/4199/23/5/3

1. Do we have any advice concerning information for these parent clubs in the 
US regarding this practice? 
2. Will AKC address this issue?

Respectfully,
