Petition to Recognize "Toy American Eskimo" in UKC

AKC. CKC and FCI currently recognize all 3 sizes of the American Eskimo. UKC is the only exception, and is taking further steps with its new breed standards to add eliminating faults to undersize dogs which may eventually lead to the elimination of American Eskimos under 11".  While UKC does not currently allow Eskies under 11", they are taking additional steps (ie. measuring dogs routinely etc) to proactively remove toy Eskies from competition.

With American Eskimos and American Eskimo breeders working hard to build their breed recognition, this could critically impact the attendance and membership of American Eskimo breeders in UKC and harm the breeds' popularity and public exposure.  As American Eskimo Breeders and dog lovers in general, we believe that it is time the UKC recognize the Toy size of the American Eskimo breed, in line with other well recognized organizations.

"By signing this petition, I would like to add my voice to urge the UKC to adopt breed standards accepting American Eskimos under 11" tall."
