                                    BREED PERCENTAGES & INFORMATION

 Breed percentages were used in both breeding programs, Jag lines & Nobes lines since the early stages of introducing British Bulldog.
This is based on the  percentage calculated  of British bulldog blood in each line .
The ABS do not use breed percentages or  British Bulldogs within their society anymore.

The use of British Bulldog sires are still accepted by the United Aussie Bulldog Association , to  boost the percentage of foundation line females, or females that come from an inconsistent  line of Aussie Bulldogs. Some lines of Aussies that are doubled up on boxer or American Bulldog breeding, will be more dominant than other established lines of dogs, therefore  producing inconsistency if mated to the wrong sire. So by mating them to a BBD, we immediately see results in a litter of consistent bulldog pups again.
Generations of breeding ( Aussie to Aussie matings) are also important ,so long as they are quality pairings which produce consistency and pups turn out as good or better dogs than their parents.
Plainer males under 75 % are generally issued a Foundation Breed Certificate or pet only in some cases.
Breed percentages are calculated on every litter bred within the UABA, and this is written on each dogs breed certificate, along with a recommended percentage for that individual to be later bred to. If these recommendations are followed, then the Aussie/Australian bulldog will continue to have a great future. 
With the right advice on breeding, new and existing lines of Aussie Bulldogs can be brought up to an acceptable percentage to be classified as suitable.
13/16 has always been our most sort after fraction , this in percentages is exactly 81.25 %

Breed Fractions
8/16 is the same as 1/2 =50%
9/16 = 56.25%
10/16 is the same as 5/8 =62.5%
11/16 =68.75%
12/16 is the same as 3/4 = 75%.
13/16 =81.25%.
14/16 is the same as 7/8 =87.5%.
15/16 = 93.75%
16/16 =100% just to complete the picture.

A BBD mated to a 5/8 or 62.5% female. = 13/16
An 87% or 7/8 male, mated to a 75% or 3/4 female = 13/16.

These are the common ways to achieve this percentage. A 5/8 is produce by mating a 1/2 or 50% dog back to a 3/4 or 75%, which is not something commonly done today, but can be utilised in a breeding program if it does turn up. As long as there is obvious qualities in that female, and she carries a good genetic background.

If you put an 87.5% bitch to a BBD and produce pups close to 94% British bulldog blood, this I believe has just stepped outside,the maximum percentage for an Aussie and created a dog nearly identical to a British. Anyone that has low percentage Aussie females that can produce quality pups by a BBD or a very high percentage dog registered as a 94% Aussie bulldog, will all tell you how difficult it is to find one of these males, reminding everyone that Aussie bulldogs are still well and truly in the developmental stages and will be for another decade or so from nearing completion.

Aussie bulldogs that fit the standard and are above 80% and under 90%, can hopefully be bred to a compatible mate of the same.

While we are still creating this breed and find ourselves in desperate need for beefy stud boys that won’t let our bitches down, we will always have high percentage pups happening, because these males are more or less filling in the gaps for the serious unavailability of BBD’s, plus the fact that we know the breed history behind the females  lines for up to 4 generations, which sometimes gives us an advantage over new BBD’s.

The overall impression that I get from people, is that they want a solid bulldog pup, and if we didn’t have pedigrees for BBD’s or breed certificates for Aussies, then it would be simple. You would just put the solidest dog you could find, back to the solidest bitch you could find and the pups would be exactly what you want.

What if the most compatible dogs you bred together, had this untouchable boundary drawn around them, saying that it is not allowed for a BBD to be bred to anything else other than a BBD. You pull down that ridiculous boundary lines and breed the dogs you want to breed, if you honestly feel that you are not hurting anyone, and you are achieving something in the process.

Aussie bulldogs are a lifeline for the constantly flawed British bulldog. We know the obvious flaws in a number of Brits, and keep searching for individual dogs that have great physical qualities to offer to a Bulldog breeding program and mate them to a large number of bitches, ultimately increasing bulldog numbers 10 times faster than ANKC breeders. Large numbers means more choice, which helps us pick individuals that suit our purpose. A lack of breeding stock has seriously effected a lot of canine breeds, and this isn’t going to happen to the Aussie bulldog, because we are *a works in progress* and because we're not boxed in by the stupidity that a lot of ANKC breeders think, and that’s believing that their particular bull breed is of the purest of blood and it’s the original.

Anyone with an open mind can see that there is probably a dozen breeds that are interlinked genetically, and we are taking advantage of a few of these breeds to help create the most quality bulldogs ever produced in one Country.
I reckon we are already there, but why stop now when it’s just starting to get interesting...............................................
