As in Austria there is more care about multiplying dogs but not about the breed standard, it is not to be awaited that there will be a statement or declaration
of support. The International French Bulldog Association IFBA feels the need to do so:
The decision of the Raad van Beheer to not deliver pedigrees to dogs of various brachycephalic breeds, the French Bulldog included, if they comply with the current FCI-Standard No. 101, is not to
be accepted. The RvB did a change of the Frenchie-standard and even more, wants crossbreedings. The French Bulldog is a French Breed, so just France, represented by the CBF has the right to
change or renew the FCI Standard No. 101. We completely share the position of the CBF. A very strong reaction of the FCI is desirable as well from all member Kennel-Clubs.
