Bloodlines Kennel Club Policy on Sterile American Bullies in Conformation Events

The Bloodlines Kennel Club (BKC) is committed to upholding the integrity, inclusivity, and advancement of the American Bully breed. In alignment with these principles, BKC permits sterile (non-intact) American Bullies to participate in dog shows and conformation events, in jurisdictions or venues where such participation is allowed by local or regional regulations.

Sterility—whether due to medical procedure, responsible ownership, or other non-disqualifyinG reasons—does not preclude a dog from exemplifying the breed standard. As such, altered American Bullies are eligible to compete in all standard BKC-sanctioned classes where reproductive status is not a disqualifying factor.

These dogs will be judged on the same merits as their intact counterparts, including structure, movement, temperament, and adherence to the BKC American Bully Breed Standard.

This policy reflects the Club’s belief that every exemplary American Bully deserves the opportunity to be evaluated, recognized, and celebrated, regardless of breeding capability.

For questions regarding eligibility, documentation, or class assignments, exhibitors are encouraged to contact the BKC Registration Office or consult the official show rules.
