It has finally happened a brindle pug in the ring in Canada!
Just curious to know since most of the show people on this site are American, how people feel about a brindle pug being shown in the ring last weekend in Canada and awarded a 1st place ribbon in it's class?????
This has caused a huge upset in the pug community and I have been told that the AKC is having an emergency meeting to look at revisitng the wording of the standard. My understanding is that a brindle pug in not allowed in the ring in America period !
Is this correct???
In Canada our National club is still trying to figure out what they are going to do about this, but aparently letters will be sent out to all the judges to educate them about the Canadian breed standard which does not disqualify brindle as a color.
The brindles came from a breeder in the USA and are AKC and CKC registered I saw the papers with my own eyes (the owner also said that the dogs were DNA tested.)
She has 2 brinde pugs entered in the Lower Mainland Dog Fancier, show at the end of the month, the biggest dog show in Canada. If they are not excused from the ring there is a chance, even if it is a slim chance, that one (or both) could get a Canadian Championship as there are 3 specialties at that show
.
I'd like to hear from people about there thought on this.

They're cute little doggies. What's the big deal? I think show dog owners need to just let their dog be a dog and play like a dog and mess up it's fur like a dog! What if your parents groomed you to their desire, dressed you up how they like, and made you follow certain commands just to win them a medal or cash reward?
FREEDOM FOR DOGS!!! LOL

Here in the US you can show a brindle pug. BUT, the dog won't win if it's up against anything with 4 legs. It isn't the preferred color for a show dog. And with the AKC the dog must be DNA tested to accumulate any points, so that would rule out any mixed breeds. UNLESS, the mix was added in several generations back and it can't be detected.
