What an incredible weekend at the Prairies United Kennel Club show here in Canada!
This action-packed three-day event featured conformation, weight pull, and rally, and the American Bulldogs showed up ready to work… and maybe show off just a little. 😉
The turnout for the breed was fantastic. One judge even commented that “the American Bulldog has really improved as a breed,” along with several compliments about the outstanding temperaments seen in the ring all weekend. Music to any breeder’s ears!
Competition was fierce in the best possible way. The dogs went head-to-head all weekend, each taking their turn at Best of Breed — proof that the quality in the ring was top notch. And to top it off, there were several group placements in a very competitive guardian group ring. Not bad for a weekend’s work!
As if that wasn’t enough, the crew decided to try their paws at weight pull, where Kayla (our resident weight pull guru) generously stepped in to mentor everyone and share some helpful tips to get the dogs started toward their weight pull titles. Let’s just say some hidden talents may have been discovered!
The dogs also stepped into the rally ring, showing everyone that American Bulldogs are far more than just a pretty face. Strength, brains, and versatility — this breed really can do it all.
While there were plenty of exciting wins and new titles earned this weekend, one of the best parts was the teamwork and camaraderie among everyone involved. Experienced handlers supporting newcomers, people cheering each other on, and lots of shared learning along the way. If we want to continue improving the breed and preserving it for the future, this kind of collaboration is exactly what it takes.
A huge congratulations to:
• Jody Berdahl, owner of Enzo and Prada
• Tiana Friesen, owner of Creature
• Danielle Williamson, owner of Polka

Safe to say the American Bulldogs represented themselves very well this weekend — strong, stable, and maybe just a little bit competitive. Exactly how we like them. 😎
