British bulldog to lose its Churchillian jowl after breeding standards shake-up

London, January 14: The classic British bulldog is to lose its Churchillian jowl because of a change in breeding standards effected by the Kennel Club.

The shake-up means that the dog will have a shrunken face, a sunken nose, longer legs, and a leaner body.

The British Bulldog Breed Council is unhappy with the change, and is considering taking legal action against the club.

"What you'll get is a completely different dog, not a British bulldog," Time Online quoted Robin Searle, the chairman, as saying.

New breeding standards for 209 dog species have been brought into immediate force, according to the online report.
