I'm super excited and had to share! Taco is now officially AKC registered! WooooWHHHOOOO! He'll be debuting at his first show in a couple weeks, wish us luck!
@Danielp84 it's next weekend in Sacramento, there is a Bull Terrier Specialty from Thursday-Sunday. He's only entered the shows on Friday & Saturday. There are 49 Bull Terriers entered on Friday alone, so it will be a sight to see!
Go Taco! I'm going to be cheering Taco on from NOLA. Can't wait to hear how it goes. He's going to nail it, so relax and enjoy your time in the ring with your wonderful bullie.
I WISH they would have a Bull Terrier specialty show around here! Finding majors is proving to be difficult within the Bull Terrier breed around my area.
Good luck at the California Expo Fairgrounds & Center. Are you a member of the Barbary Coast Bull Terrier club or will you be going up against their clan of Bullies as an independent owner?
I joined last year, and they have been pretty helpful as far as all my questions go. They are all pretty competitive, but also very supportive of each other, which neat. Since I'm still the newbie of the group, I feel like it's me against them, plus I don't actually know what I'm doing adds to the pressure! lol! The actual count for the days are Thursday 39, Friday 51(sorry, originally said 49) Saturday 59 and Sunday 50. A lot of Bull Terriers!
Sorry for the delay! @BulliesofNC, those results are from the show Friday morning, Taco was entered in the night speciality under judge Bill Leslie from Ireland, he took first in his class 6-9 against three others. Saturday morning he again won his class under judge Mary Remer AND he took Winners Reserve for White Dog! To say I'm proud is a huge understatement! Mary Remer said he was a very nice dog while giving her critique, I turned redder then a preteen meeting Justin Bieber for the first time!
Ps.... I'm really sorry I didn't get a lot of pictures! I left my camera battery pack on the charger at home and had to deal with my phone camera when there which didn't work out. Plus, I was so busy hanging out with the dogs I barely had my phone out! I'll try to nab some pics if I can!
Well he sure had some stiff competition by the looks of it, great job on the wins.... He looks absolutely fabulous, his condition is mind boggling... I know this took tons of effort and distraction, but I'm not going to let you off without a reprimand about the photo quantity though..... we've been waiting like crazy !!!!! I guess quality will have to supersede quantity
In the beginning God created English Bull Terriers, in the image of EBT's, God created all other breeds.
Yeah! he deserved to win! (Have you ever noticed they always have such ugly people at dog shows, just to make up for all the beautiful dogs). I also love that second last B&W

If I remember correctly, he won his class 9-12, but I don't think he got reserve for colored, that is one of Trudy Avery's dogs, her white female won BOV and BOB Sat night!
I'm sure I was way more excited then he was! Funny how much he's grown in such a short time, I remember the first picture I saw of him and my thought of my husbands going to kill me when he finds out I bought a puppy from overseas! lol! But he was well worth it! There is another Bull Terrier Specialty coming up in Long Beach, I don't think I will be able to attend but a member of the club offered to show him for me and I was so excited for the offer! The support has been amazing and I'm super grateful for everyone's well wishes!
@danielp84 it's June 20-22nd, their website is a little outdated, but if you search them up on FB everything is fairly recent. I've attached the flyer for you.
I received a letter in the mail yesterday stating that the winners dog on Saturday was disqualified so since Taco was reserve winners, he was bumped up to winners! He just earned himself a 5pt major! It did put a smile on my face, I won't lie.
My household has defiantly changed, we are trying to stay as busy as ever, but it's still beyond hard to stay distracted enough to not breakdown. I'm sure JellyBean had her say in Taco's winnings, I can still feel her following me around the house and sitting in her normal spot on the couch.
I'm not sure why he was disqualified, but I'm curious to know. I'll ask around and see if anyone knows anything. He was a good looking dog, but I don't recall his name/owner. I actually don't know why you would be disqualified after the fact, unless they entered him in the wrong class as far as his age goes. In pretty positive he was in the 9-12 group, and if he was even a day past 12 months they will disqualify you, so maybe that.
I can't imagine anything closer to nirvana than a room full of bull terriers! I almost never see any in my part of the world (Minneapolis). Congrats to you and taco--great pictures!
@Boyda - I tried looking up the show results to see why Bullistic Invictus "Zulu" was DQ'd. However, all information comes up showing he was awarded Best Winners Dogs as well as Best of Breed. His points still remain in the system. He was not entered within either of the 2 puppy classes and was entered in Open Class. The judge recorded was Mary F.S. Remer.
Attached below is what currently remains in the system:
Here are the detailed results of the Show that includes full information of all the White Bull Terriers as well as the results. I thought you may want this for your records.
