….. CHEERS to everyone who came out to what was the 14th HABC show, and the 5th Anniversary year of the HABC hosting shows and events.
It was a fantastic albeit HOT weekend, with an extremely relaxed & friendly atmosphere, 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 Europe for the show! …
- DAN SIMONSEN (Denmark) who judged the dogs in the Standard Ring on the Saturday and the Bully Ring on the Sunday.
- PETRA VAN DER VEN (Netherlands) who judged the dogs in the Bully Ring on the Saturday and the Standard Ring on the Sunday.
Thanks a million for sharing of your time & coming over to England, and doing a great job of the judging ….
Also thanks to Dan’s wife Elisabeth who travelled with him and was Dans ring steward on sat & sun. Thanks also to Tracy Wragg who was Petras ring steward on the Sat and to Char who was the ring steward on the Sun.
Considering the very hot weather you ALL did a fantastic job without complaint over the weekend standing in the show ring for hours, and getting stuck in and constantly helping out…
It was a lot of fun over the weekend, and whoever said Europeans don’t have a sense of humour didn’t spend a weekend with you guys ?!? LOL ;D
We have received a lot of good feedback about the judges professionalism and willingness to help out and chat to people, giving equal consideration to every dog, taking time in going over them, and giving an explanation of their choices. It is very much appreciated… ;D
MANY, MANY THANKS also too:
- Colin Austin (Scotland) – Irondog GDT / IDT5 Helper/Decoy
for giving of his time and support, providing the helper work for the Irondog event on Saturday … this was very much appreciated.
Colin Austin is a GSDL Working Branch UK “A grade” schutzhund helper who has been a trial helper at the Scottish Schutzhund National event.
He was very helpful to people working their dogs, and was very professional in his helper work in the events at the show.
Big Thanks also to Barrie Kirkland (Scotland) who gave of his time on Friday evening and all day Saturday giving helpful advice in sport work to those seeking it, and for safely working and evaluating people’s dogs when requested. CHEERS BARRIE ;D
Big Thanks also to Colin Brown (England) for doing a great job of Judging the Irondog GDT & IDT5 events on Saturday. You did a fair & conscientious job over the weekend and always had the welfare of the dogs participating at heart considering the extreme heat over the weekend. ;D
The results of the Irondog IDT5 will be announced shortly, as there are a couple of queries that are awaiting clarification with the Irondog organization first.
Another Big Thanks also to Craig Limb (England) for Judging the fun working events on the Sunday, You also did a fantastic job over the weekend and also having the welfare of the dogs participating at heart. ;D
Big Big Thanks to Shani & daughter Hayley Wooles, who ran the “Toy” stall once again at the show ;D
& A Big Big Thanks as always go out to Char, and Tim for doing the bar-b-que and refreshments on the Saturday and to Joanne & her daughter Georgia, who did the refreshments and bar-b-que on the Sunday ;D plus the many other things they always help out with ;D

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 were not acclimatized to the extreme heat that the weather decided to provide us with over the weekend. Throughout the weekend the heat inevitably was sapping the energy of all!
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 especially when activities were sometimes rescheduled due to the interests of the dogs re the heat, but you can never win ‘em all where weather is concerned and 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 participating in the IDT5 trial on early Saturday evening were brilliant and this trial certainly proved to be an endurance test for them all.
All the dogs participating gave a fantastic performance …. All credit to them and their owners ;D
With the Irondog finishing late on the Saturday evening for those staying over then yet again 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 there were less people in attendance due to a few of those that didn’t stay overnight camping or in a hotel, making the decision not to repeat the journey to the show and back because of the heat ….
For those that stayed over or lived local then it did turn out to be another extremely hot day but yet again with 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
Apart from a couple of isolated incidents 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….
For all the above the HABC has EVERYONE in attendance to THANK
;D CHEERS
We would just like to take this opportunity to send our very Best Wishes and support to one of our club members Pete Hewitt who is currently serving in our British Armed Forces in Afghan, We really wish you could of been here, but just to let you know that we were thinking about you, and raised a toast to you on more than one occasion over the weekend!! we are really proud of you and the other peeps out there... ;D Be Safe & See you on your return home ;D
Thanks Once Again to everyone at the show for coming out to support it and for making it a great weekend and one to remember ;D ;D ….
Cheers ALL ;D ;D ;D
Finally…
CONGRATULATIONS to ALL the winners …. [/size][/color]

The ABNA do not have an easy conformation championship requirement system for dogs to be able to achieve ABNA Champion status. This is one of the reasons the HABC chose to and is proud to host sanctioned ABNA shows for this breed.
It being one of the hardest conformation show champion titles in this breed to achieve definitely makes it a worthwhile and meaningful title for those dogs that actually do achieve it .....

Thanks a million for sharing of your time & coming over to England, and doing a great job of the judging ….
Also thanks to Dan’s wife Elisabeth who travelled with him and was Dans ring steward on sat & sun. Thanks also to Tracy Wragg who was Petras ring steward on the Sat and to Char who was the ring steward on the Sun.
Considering the very hot weather you ALL did a fantastic job without complaint over the weekend standing in the show ring for hours, and getting stuck in and constantly helping out…
It was a lot of fun over the weekend, and whoever said Europeans don’t have a sense of humour didn’t spend a weekend with you guys ?!? LOL ;D
We have received a lot of good feedback about the judges professionalism and willingness to help out and chat to people, giving equal consideration to every dog, taking time in going over them, and giving an explanation of their choices. It is very much appreciated… ;D

for giving of his time and support, providing the helper work for the Irondog event on Saturday … this was very much appreciated.
Colin Austin is a GSDL Working Branch UK “A grade” schutzhund helper who has been a trial helper at the Scottish Schutzhund National event.
He was very helpful to people working their dogs, and was very professional in his helper work in the events at the show.
Big Thanks also to Barrie Kirkland (Scotland) who gave of his time on Friday evening and all day Saturday giving helpful advice in sport work to those seeking it, and for safely working and evaluating people’s dogs when requested. CHEERS BARRIE ;D
Big Thanks also to Colin Brown (England) for doing a great job of Judging the Irondog GDT & IDT5 events on Saturday. You did a fair & conscientious job over the weekend and always had the welfare of the dogs participating at heart considering the extreme heat over the weekend. ;D
The results of the Irondog IDT5 will be announced shortly, as there are a couple of queries that are awaiting clarification with the Irondog organization first.
Another Big Thanks also to Craig Limb (England) for Judging the fun working events on the Sunday, You also did a fantastic job over the weekend and also having the welfare of the dogs participating at heart. ;D
Big Big Thanks to Shani & daughter Hayley Wooles, who ran the “Toy” stall once again at the show ;D
& A Big Big Thanks as always go out to Char, and Tim for doing the bar-b-que and refreshments on the Saturday and to Joanne & her daughter Georgia, who did the refreshments and bar-b-que on the Sunday ;D plus the many other things they always help out with ;D

BIG BIG THANKS TO YOU ALL we really couldn’t have done it without you.

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 were not acclimatized to the extreme heat that the weather decided to provide us with over the weekend. Throughout the weekend the heat inevitably was sapping the energy of all!
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 especially when activities were sometimes rescheduled due to the interests of the dogs re the heat, but you can never win ‘em all where weather is concerned and 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 participating in the IDT5 trial on early Saturday evening were brilliant and this trial certainly proved to be an endurance test for them all.
All the dogs participating gave a fantastic performance …. All credit to them and their owners ;D
With the Irondog finishing late on the Saturday evening for those staying over then yet again 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 there were less people in attendance due to a few of those that didn’t stay overnight camping or in a hotel, making the decision not to repeat the journey to the show and back because of the heat ….
For those that stayed over or lived local then it did turn out to be another extremely hot day but yet again with 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
Apart from a couple of isolated incidents 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….
For all the above the HABC has EVERYONE in attendance to THANK
;D CHEERS
We would just like to take this opportunity to send our very Best Wishes and support to one of our club members Pete Hewitt who is currently serving in our British Armed Forces in Afghan, We really wish you could of been here, but just to let you know that we were thinking about you, and raised a toast to you on more than one occasion over the weekend!! we are really proud of you and the other peeps out there... ;D Be Safe & See you on your return home ;D
Thanks Once Again to everyone at the show for coming out to support it and for making it a great weekend and one to remember ;D ;D ….
Cheers ALL ;D ;D ;D
Finally…
CONGRATULATIONS to ALL the winners …. [/size][/color]

ABNA CHAMPION
JACKSTARS WISEGUY of EARTHQUAKES
Male Bully Type
Owned & Handled By: Paul Tomlinson
The ABNA do not have an easy conformation championship requirement system for dogs to be able to achieve ABNA Champion status. This is one of the reasons the HABC chose to and is proud to host sanctioned ABNA shows for this breed.
It being one of the hardest conformation show champion titles in this breed to achieve definitely makes it a worthwhile and meaningful title for those dogs that actually do achieve it .....
