Standard Changes

[KingHarry]

UKC allows members to submit requests for breed standard requests and additions, however we require a standard reference from an authorised real-life showing organisation, plus photographs of real animals that have been shown in conformation (preferably conformation champions). Below are details of the real-life showing organisations that we accept as references, as well as the form and guidelines for submitting a standard change request.

Breed standards are accepted from:

• Dogz: FCI, AKC, KC, CKC, UKC (not preferred). Other clubs may be accepted if you can provide a good argument
• Catz: FIFe, CFA, TICA, CAA, GCCF. Other clubs may be accepted if you can provide a good argument

Requests based on UKC (United Kennel Club, the real life showing organisation) or clubs not mentioned above can be made, but they will have to be well evidenced and strong. These clubs are best used to provide further evidence for requests based on the named clubs.

Standard update request form:

• Request: [Describe request]
• Breed/Doc: [Link or describe breed or UKC standard doc you want to be updated]
• Evidence: [Provide evidence for your request. Ideally, your evidence will include multiple clear images of champions displaying your request, as well as a link to a breed standard that states it. If you can't find an image of a champion, an image of a dog/cat that has placed in a show at some point is the second best option. You can still make a request without photo evidence! Photo evidence just makes it more likely to be accepted! See above for accepted standard sources.]
