<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">The Pinnacle of Pedigree™ and The Functional Dog Philosophy™”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Remy Kennel Club, “The place where one person can make a difference, one person at a time."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"> The Remy Kennel Club is dedicated to upholding the integrity, respect, and support for one another, as well as the promotion of functional dogs. The RKC places emphasis not solely on a dog’s appearance, rather on dog’s that are the “Pinnacle of their Pedigrees™”. Dogs that look and perform equally, the embodiment of our Functional Dog Philosophy™.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: #3d85c6;"> RKC Functional</span></span></h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></u></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Remy Kennel Club has always promoted the “Functional Dog”, “Home of the Functional American Bully.” A friend shared a quote with me the other day, “Pedigree indicates what the animal should be. Conformation indicates what the animal appears to be and Performance indicates what the animal actually is.” A simple sentiment with profound meaning.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">The RKC has now elaborated on our functional dog and adopted a complete “Functional Dog Philosophy™” through expanded events and programs. As a departure from other registries that place emphasis solely on a dog’s appearance, RKC will place emphasis on dog’s that are the “Pinnacle of their Pedigrees™”. Dogs that look and perform equally, the embodiment of our Functional Dog Philosophy™.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">As an international registry we expanded to offer programs encouraging responsible dog ownership, and positive canine bond building. Performance based sports, nurture instinct and heritage while commemorating the virtue of our pedigrees. Working with a dog not only cements the timeless proverb, that our canine companions are “man’s best friend”, but also benefits a dog’s mental attitude as well as physical well-being.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We are proud to announce our new Bully Breed Ambassador™ (BBA & BBA-A) title based programs. The BBA title certifies that dogs have the training and behaviors needed to be reliable, well-behaved members of their families, communities and combat the bullying of our beloved bully breeds. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">A 10-part exam highlighting basic manners and obedience, dogs test with their handlers to earn first their Bully Breed Ambassador and then the Bully Breed Ambassador Advance titles.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">With an integral part of our mission being to promote responsible dog ownership and positive canine bond building within our community, we are happy to offer our performance program to all dogs! </span><span style="font-size: large;">In addition to purebred dogs registered with the Remy Kennel Club, we are granting Limited Registration, or Performance Passports ™ to breeds the RKC does not register, mix bred dogs, dogs of unknown pedigree, purebred dogs with disqualifying faults and spayed or neutered dogs. Dogs with Performance Passports™ may compete in all RKC Performance Events and Junior Showmanship.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">The Remy Kennel Club’s Conformation Events where pedigree meets performance rounds out the Functional Dog Philosophy™. At RKC dog shows, the emphasis is on the DOG, not the SHOW. The environment is family friendly, open, fun, educational and competitive, while maintaining a degree of difficulty to preserve the integrity of the sport. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">RKC events and titles are attainable accomplishments for every owner while still respected by the veteran sportsman. RKC encourages camaraderie, mentorship and open communication to aid in the bond between owners and their dogs, as well as the community. This is proven by our success and growth across the country and is palpable at all of our events. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Participants find the environment to a great degree, devoid of the pressure and disappointment experienced in similar events provided by other organizations. Competitors are supportive of one another, working together as whole with one unanimous and collective goal, the betterment of the breed. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome to the Remy Kennel Club Bully Breed Ambassador (BBA) program. The BBA Program is a two part program that is designed to 1) teach responsible dog ownership to owners and 2) certify dogs that have the training and behaviors needed to be reliable, well-behaved members of their families, communities and combat the bullying of our beloved bully breeds! An RKC approved evaluator, before deciding that a dog has passed the Bully Breed Ambassador Test, you should consider if the dog is under good control and appears safe around people and other dogs. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The purpose of the BBA Program is to ensure that our favorite companion, the dog, can be a respected member of the community because it has been trained to be well-behaved in the home, in public places, and in the presence of other dogs. The BBA Program welcomes dogs with both full and limited registration rights and privileges. The BBA Test is noncompetitive and dogs are not required to perform with the same precision required in formal obedience. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Dogs that pass all 10 items of the BBA test, are listed in the BBA records at the Remy Kennel Club. Owners of dogs that pass all 10 items of the BBA test will receive an official Bully Breed Ambassador Title Certificate from the Remy Kennel Club. The Title will also be reflected on your dog’s pedigree within the registry for dogs with full registration rights and privileges. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A Bully Breed Ambassador Evaluator, must assume responsibility for conducting the test according to the RKC protocol. Evaluators should ensure that each participant has an experience that is positive, educational, and fun. Handlers may talk to their dogs throughout the test and the atmosphere should be relaxed. Praise should be given to dogs throughout the test, and you may need to remind handlers who are nervous to reassure their dogs with praise, smiles, hugs and pats. The BBA Evaluator is an RKC Representative, it’s important to note the way a BBA test is conducted, and the interaction with participants, may determine if a dog owner will become involved in dog training and activities in the future. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you very much for helping us assure that Remy Kennel Club dogs will always be welcome and respected members of our communities.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Scoring Specific Test Items General instructions: </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The test protocol as set forth in this Evaluator Guide should be followed. Handlers may talk to their dogs throughout the test. Evaluators should encourage the test to be fun and, if necessary, handlers should be reminded to praise their dogs. Evaluators can remind handlers to communicate with their dogs (“Tell him what you want him to do”) during the test. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Evaluators should not make the test easier by eliminating test items, nor should they require the participant to perform at a higher level than the test requires in order to pass. For example, an evaluator should not, in the name of “having high standards” require during testing that the dogs complete the exercise off-lead in order to pass the BBA test. However, instructors may choose to give the test at any point and may require that students have a higher level of training before the test is given. </span></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">The Pocket American Bully is determined by its adult height, males under 17″ and no less than 14″ at the withers and females under 16″ and no less than 13″ at the withers. Please refer to the basic standard for all other requirements. It is important to note that Pocket class is simply shorter than the Standard American Bully. </span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><br /></strong>
<strong>This class of dogs shares the same build, body type, and breed type as the Standard class, and are not to be penalized for exhibiting heavily muscled, massive, bulky body type.</strong></span><br />

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">GENERAL APPEARANCE: The American Bully breed is recognizable by its extremely compact, thick-set structure and robust build. Their appearance should resemble the APBT/Am Staff foundation, while also displaying features from other bull breeds. Overall the American Bully should be balanced and proportionate allowing him to still maintain athletic ability. Absolute soundness and proper muscle tone is a must with this breed. </span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><br /></strong>
<strong>The head should be in proportion to the body, free of exaggerations that may compromise breathing and/or obstruct normal vision. The coat of the American Bully should be short and smooth. Its presence should leave an impression of tremendous power and stamina and have a kind and loyal disposition</strong></span><br />

AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER</h2>
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is similar to the Classic APBT in its body structure and build.

Such as blocky/heavy heads, short/square muzzles, heavier bone/muscle, and compact body. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></strong>
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">This class should exhibit more substance than the Classic American Pit Bull Terrier and American Staffordshire Terrier.. Aside from this difference, the APBT class follows the same standard as the Classic American Pit Bull Terrier.</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong></strong><br /></span>
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Males 17″ – 20″ at the withers. Females 16″ – 19″ at the withers.</span></strong><br />

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
Remy Kennel Club, “The place where one person can make a difference, one person at a time."</h4>
<h4>
It was only a few years ago I was feeling burned out, I wasn’t happy with our community, and largely disapproved of where the breed was headed as a whole. With the loss of Remy, I was honestly done. I was already on the outs having voiced my opinions and stepped back. I was ready to accept his passing as the end of an era for me. When I shared the news of Remy’s passing with the American Bully Community, I was taken aback. I watched the news impact hundreds of thousands, the outpouring of respect for a dog the we loved washed over social media and flooded my inboxes. That connection was the spark that reignited a fire in me, it woke me up, Remy’s death wasn’t the end of an era, it was just the beginning. From the ash came the rise of the Remy Kennel Club.</h4>
<h4>
The Remy Kennel Club began to right, from my interpretation, of all the wrongs in the bully world. The breed community is in chaos, a free-for-all, without guidance or mentorship. The American Bully, in a state of emergency. I asked myself, “could one person make a difference?” That’s when it finally occurred to me. I could provide a <em>place</em> to make a difference, one person at a time. I could build a registry from a community based on integrity, respect, and support for one another, as well as promote functional dogs.</h4>
<h4>
The last 2 years have been an exciting times, the Remy Kennel Club has grown leaps and bounds. Innovative thinking and collaborative problem solving has torpedoed our mission and our understanding of how to encourage mentoring and develop programs to remain as adaptable, motivated and responsive to our community as possible.</h4>
<h4>
Mid 2015 the RKC recognized and separated our American Pit Bull Terrier into 2 separate varieties, the “Classic American Pit Bull Terrier” and “The American Pit Bull Terrier”. Both varieties while resembling each other are not in fact one in the same. Throughout history the American Pit Bull Terrier has always been an active athletic dog, but within this working breed two types have developed, a “show type” and a “performance type”.</h4>
<h4>
Preserving drive and conformation of the breed’s, lighter, longer legged predecessors with the flexibility and agility in the back end of dogs used for the historical purposes of combat, driving livestock, as catch dogs for cattle and hogs, or hunting, this dog is bred to work. One of the original purposes of American Pit Bull Terriers as a combat dog has been outlawed for many years. The “Classic American Pit Bull Terrier” variety honors dogs that are still bred to meet the requirements, both mental and physical of the dogs from this heritage.</h4>
<h4>
The “American Pit Bull Terrier” ring is intended for dogs reflecting the “show type” variety. While maintaining all the essential characteristics of the American Pit Bull Terrier; strength, confidence, and zest for life, breeders of this type have worked diligently to produce dogs with less dog aggression, better suited to the show ring. Most APBTs exhibit some dog aggression, conformationally dogs of this variety better reflect standards of the respective, UKC and AKC breed rings.</h4>
<h4>
The American Bully began as an extension of the American Pit Bull Terrier, by inviting each variety to showcase their centuries old standard we will naturally add education and mentorship opportunities to the American Bully community, and its breeders, even if just as spectators. It has always been my firm belief, “<em>that you don’t know where you are headed, unless you know where you have been.”</em></h4>
<h4>
Continued education is an ongoing process and an important part of becoming a better, more informed owner and breeder, as well as registry. The longer we spend in the sport, the more we realize we <em>all</em> have a lot to learn. We hope to encourage our community to take every opportunity to expand both your breed-specific knowledge, general dog knowledge, and knowledge about other bully breeds. Staying connected to our history is the best way to improve our future.</h4>
<h4>
RKC Functional! The Remy Kennel Club has always promoted the “Functional Dog”, “Home of the Functional American Bully.” A friend shared a quote with me the other day, “Pedigree indicates what the animal should be. Conformation indicates what the animal appears to be and Performance indicates what the animal actually is.” A simple sentiment with profound meaning.</h4>
<h4>
The RKC has now elaborated on our functional dog and adopted a complete “Functional Dog Philosophy™” through expanded events and programs. As a departure from other registries that place emphasis solely on a dog’s appearance, RKC will place emphasis on dog’s that are the “Pinnacle of their Pedigrees™”. Dogs that look and perform equally, the embodiment of our Functional Dog Philosophy™.</h4>
<h4>
As an international registry we expanded to offer programs encouraging responsible dog ownership, and positive canine bond building. Performance based sports, nurture instinct and heritage while commemorating the virtue of our pedigrees. Working with a dog not only cements the timeless proverb, that our canine companions are “man’s best friend”, but also benefits a dog’s mental attitude as well as physical well-being.</h4>
<h4>
We are proud to announce our new Bully Breed Ambassador™ (BBA & BBA-A) title based programs. The BBA title certifies that dogs have the training and behaviors needed to be reliable, well-behaved members of their families, communities and combat the bullying of our beloved bully breeds. A 10-part exam highlighting basic manners and obedience, dogs test with their handlers to earn first their Bully Breed Ambassador and then the Bully Breed Ambassador Advance titles.</h4>
<h4>
Additional programs added to celebrate our “Functional Dog Philosophy ™” beyond our new Bully Breed Ambassador™” (BBA & BBA-A) include Weight-Pull, Vertical Wall, Slat Mill Racing, Drag Racing, Tug-of-War, Hang-time, Obedience trials, Lure Coursing and Dock Diving with plans for future expansion.</h4>
<h4>
With an integral part of our mission being to promote responsible dog ownership and positive canine bond building within our community, we are happy to offer our performance program to all dogs! In addition to purebred dogs registered with the Remy Kennel Club, we are granting Limited Registration, or Performance Passports ™ to breeds the RKC does not register, mix bred dogs, dogs of unknown pedigree, purebred dogs with disqualifying faults and spayed or neutered dogs. Dogs with Performance Passports™ may compete in all RKC Performance Events and Junior Showmanship.</h4>
<h4>
The Remy Kennel Club’s Conformation Events where pedigree meets performance rounds out the Functional Dog Philosophy™. At RKC dog shows, the emphasis is on the DOG, not the SHOW. The environment is family friendly, open, fun, educational and competitive. While maintaining a degree of difficulty to preserve the integrity of the sport, RKC events and titles are attainable accomplishments for every owner while still respected by the veteran sportsman. RKC encourages comradery, mentorship and open communication to aid in the bond between owners and their dogs, as well as the community. This is proven by our success and growth across the country and is palpable at all of our events. Participants find the environment to a great degree, devoid of the pressure and disappointment experienced in similar events provided by other organizations. Competitors are supportive of one another, working together as whole with one unanimous and collective goal, the betterment of the breed.</h4>
<h4>
We’re continuously transforming the way we operate to improve our ability to educate our community, better our breed, and of course enjoy the exciting world of competitive dog sports. Our employees and partners have continued to meet the challenges of our field. Essentially, it is our firm belief that the right balance between performance and conformation results in true proven pedigrees, with healthier and happier dogs. We are excited to start sharing Functional Dog Philosophy™ with our growing number of dedicated patrons. We are proud of where we are today and excited about where we are headed. </h4>
