….. CHEERS to everyone who came out to what was the 16th HABC show, and the 6th Anniversary year of the HABC hosting shows and events.
It was a Wet & Damp weekend, but all credit to those that rose above this and kept their spirits buoyed regardless …. by getting stuck in and involved in the weekend activities !! Thanks for creating a relaxed & friendly atmosphere, and for smiling throughout!
It was great for all us HABC members to see and chat with all the old faces, and all the many new ones there too …. ;D

Just like to take this opportunity to say a…
HUGE THANKS to the two ABNA Conformation Judges that came over from the USA & Europe for the show! …

- THEO ROMBOUTS (Netherlands) who judged the dogs in the Standard Ring on the Saturday and the Bully Ring on the Sunday.
Thanks a million for sharing of your time & coming over to England, and doing a great job of the judging ….
Considering the weather conditions you ALL did a fantastic job without complaint over the weekend standing in the show ring through pouring rain or shine, and getting stuck in and constantly helping out…
It was a lot of fun over the weekend, and we have received a lot of good feedback about the judges professionalism and willingness to help out and chat to people, taking time in going over the dogs, and giving an explanation of their choices. It is very much appreciated… ;D

MANY, MANY THANKS also too:
- Simon Coxon (England) – Irondog GDT / IDT3 Helper/Decoy

CHEERS … to ALL the Participants / Judges / Helpers / Spectators of ALL the various events and activities for getting stuck in and involved ;D
The events were brilliant to witness first hand ;D & the enthusiasm and the spirit of which everyone got involved could not be faulted ….
Many of the dogs and people in attendance would have obviously enjoyed it much more if the weather had not been so wet!!! But thanks for making the most of it anyway and showing some bulldog spirit LOL ;D

On the Saturday there was a good turnout of people & their families …. and of course American Bulldogs…. everyone was just enjoying the day, going with the flow putting up with some of the worst downpours we’ve experienced at a show …. We were also glad that club members had some wellies that actually fitted the judges!!!
But you can never win ‘em all where weather is concerned, and our shows continue to prove!!! but everyone adapted fantastically, which helped to create an easy and relaxing pace, in turn creating a great atmosphere ;D with everyone just enjoying the different activities on offer regardless of experience with what was a fantastic & supportive group of people ;D

ALL the dogs & handlers participating in the Irondog events GDT’s & IDT3 trial on early Saturday evening were brilliant and this trial certainly proved for them all that they were all worthy of gaining the titles GDT &/or IDT3 that evening….
The drag-pull event was the final one and we saw the dogs pulling during dusk till fully dark finally finishing under the headlights of a single truck… still wanting to come out for more…. GREAT STUFF ;D
All the dogs participating definitely gave a fantastic performance …. All credit to them and their owners ;D

Special kudos to Sav and his dog Marshall as Sav at 18 years old was the youngest handler/competitor in any Irondog event in the UK to date, and without any doubt did his generation proud with his mature level of sportsmanship and handling skills throughout this event. WELL DONE Sav & Marshall for getting out there with your dog and proving no matter the young (but adult) age of the owner the American Bulldog has responsible owners who take the time with their dogs and take their dog ownership responsibilities seriously….
CONGRATULATIONS on your titles this weekend and we hope to see you & Marshall at these and even more events in the future ;D

With the Irondog finishing late on the Saturday evening then for those staying over on site the weekend show proved to be a great opportunity for people to just relax afterwards and sit around and talk bulldogs! Or the weather! Or whatever took their fancy ;D

Come Sunday for those that stayed over or lived local then it did turn out to be warmer day but more than a bit muddy!! again everyone just enjoying the different fun sporting events and shows on offer throughout the day regardless of experience… with what was once again a fantastic & supportive group of people ;D
It was great to see some of the good handling skills demonstrated in the show ring over the weekend, kudos especially to those women handlers showing how it is done: Bronwyn, KC, & Jane ... You go girls ;D
Full credit to the owners who got out their dogs for the fun sporting events (Sprint Races / Tug of War / Drag Pull) and demonstrated the AB’s desire to do more than be just a couch potato and for demonstrating the fun you can have with your American Bulldogs by participating in these events. Congratulations to all the participants and dogs who completed these events, especially the 1st / 2nd /3rd place medal winners of each event ;D

Everyone put the interests of their own and each others dogs first, all coming together and proving to be genuinely supportive of each other throughout the weekend ;D
There were a couple of things which the club needed to address from over the weekend but 99% of the time it showed our breed and the people in it … in a positive way ;D
All those in attendance and especially those who camped overnight on the site respected the venue and local community, and we would like to thank everyone for clearing up after themselves.….
CHEERS

We have taken note of the feedback we have all received, and have especially taken on board concerns with the late starting of events when people have to travel home and they have work or their kids have school the next day. This can certainly be improved on but unfortunately the late start this weekend was due to a number of factors mainly down to the organization of this event in the 3 months since the last event in May unintentionally being all last minute due to unforeseen long working hours coupled with a number of personal issues beyond their control needing to take priority of some club members time (Colin, Tracy, Teresa & Pete’s). One funeral being just the Friday of the show weekend.
RIP Dad (Stan) & RIP Terry.
These club members would like to thank everyone who has supported them throughout the past few months and over the weekend, and in-particular fellow club members Craig Limb & Tracy Wragg, for pulling all the stops out and for inspiring us and for reminding us by their actions leading up-to and over this weekend the reasons for doing what we do and what the club has always been about … Enjoying the dogs and having fun with them and encouraging likeminded people in the breed to do so too … CHEERS GUYS ;D

So with that said, having discussed all these issues over the past week, and with regenerated enthusiasm and motivation… The club wish to see this year out by re-instating the HABC AUTUMN SHOW …
SO after doing some checks as to the feasibility…

The HABC are pleased to announce what will prove to be a WELL ORGANISED with 1 ABNA conformation show and fun sporting events all on schedule HABC AUTUMN EVENT planned for….

SATURDAY 12th SEPTEMBER 2009
The site (same venue as this weekend) will be open from the Friday evening for camping and a get together. Events will start Saturday morning.
With an ABNA Sanctioned Conformation Show planned for the Saturday Only – 11:30am PROMPT START… this will be another opportunity for those of you that wish to try to gain more points or try to gain a Major before the close of this year. & Fun Events starting at 09:30am till 11:30 then during the conformation break, and again after the conformation show on the Saturday early evening. With camping again Saturday evening for those that want it.
FREE CAMPING AVAILABLE ON SITE - Please let us know by reserving a pitch by contacting us before the show.
The HABC Club members intend to end the year on a positive high. ;D
So, We hope everyone will come along and join us ;D

Thanks Once Again to everyone at the show for coming out to support it and for making it a great weekend ….
Cheers ALL ;D ;D ;D

Finally…

Thanks for publishing the results - Are there any show critiques or judges assessments availaible for this show?

Good luck with Autumn Show

[bluebloods]

The judges give their critiques and assessments at the time of judging...

Are you refering to written critiques for each dog?... These seem popular in a couple of coutries in Europe... but pretty much nowhere else... We have never asked any judges judging our shows to do them...

Personally... I don't like them... and think they're a bad idea...

[johnemsd]

I am refering to a written critique for all dogs shown - something like the show reports published for KC conformation shows.

Show reports are a useful tool for owners and spectators as they often describe the positive and negative points of each winnning dog and why they placed higher or lower than other dogs in their class etc.

Perhaps it is something that could be considered for the next show?

[glyn]

great idea in principle
but in reality it just causes a lot of extra time to be wasted,

i showed a number of times in europe under such a critique system and found it to be a right 'ball ache' , in one instance show started at 10am and we were still going at it up to around 7pm , just ask greg souza if you dont believe me.

Any ABNA judge if asked will go through his / her critique of your dog in more detail after the show, plus maybe help you with a few tips , because after all if your dog hasnt placed because of a structural fault for instance , its not something that you can magic away, but you may be able to show the dog better and highlight the more positive points etc.
