Fails WP:GNG. Another backyard crossbred "breed" with only breeder recognition, the page's only references are the breed's own webpage and the kennel page of the "breed's" creator. Cavalryman V31 (talk) 04:07, 19 July 2018 (UTC). Amended, Cavalryman V31 (talk) 01:52, 20 July 2018 (UTC).[reply]

Nominator request for AfD to be withdrawn, my interpretation is the breed's regognition by the VDH (an authority on dog breeds) confirmed at this link, makes the breed (and thus the article) notable. Cavalryman V31 (talk) 06:57, 24 July 2018 (UTC).[reply]

Comment - Cavalryman V31, please provide citations to support your claim that the breeders of the Continental bulldog are backyard dog breeders. IQ125 (talk) 12:47, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep: The breed has been officially recognized by the Swiss kennel club SKG since 5 December 2004. The citations in the article support the breed is notable and will expand over time, which are the key points to keep an article at Wikipedia. IQ125 (talk) 11:26, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The link used to cite that claim of official recognition is not a WP:RS (and it does not seem to work), as stated above, none of the citations used in this article are RS, this appears to be one woman dog breeding operation marketed as a "breed".

IQ125, thank you for directing me to this link, from my interpretation of WP:RS it is a reliable source from the VDH a notable dog breed authority, and because that organisation recognises this breed, the breed is notable. I have requested the AfD be withdrawn. This information now needs to be included in the page. Kind regards, Cavalryman V31 (talk) 06:57, 24 July 2018 (UTC).[reply]
