Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Sportsmen Show in Toronto was a great sucess. American Bulldog Chopper Junior won Best puppy in show and second best puppy in show. He collected many points for his championship. American Bulldog Bubba collected one excellent opinion on the Molosser show and it brings him closer to his Molloser Championship. American Bulldog George collected points towards his championshpip. For American Bulldog Rocky it was his first show. He is very well build and proportional with nice head. American Bulldog Rocky collected excellent opinion on the Mollosser Specialty Show and few points towards his championship on the regular shows. American Bulldog Feisty did very well on the junior handler show. American Bulldog Terra collected few points towards her Championship.

American Bulldog Georgia finally won something and collected her first points (3) towards her championship. She won best of oposite sex – which finally meant something due to large number of american bulldogs on this show.

American Bulldog Mickey from Abe and Tazmir did great on his first show and collected points toward his championship. He looks more and more like his dad and is getting bigger and bigger,

Two shorty bulls Dolly and Alice had great time socializing with people and on the ring – unfortunatelly judges saw this breed for the first time on the ring and all they could say is WTF is that.

If I missed somone you can shoot me later. Now is time for photos.

Pit Bull saves 2 women from deadly cobra, dies wagging his tail

The children in the Fronteras household refer to their dog as “kuya” (“big brother”), and he certainly proved it on the day he sacrificed his life to protect the family.

On Monday, Feb. 12 at around 2 p.m., “Chief”, an American Pit Bull Terrier, rescued Liberata la Victoria, 87, and her granddaughter Maria Victoria Fronteras from a deadly cobra which had entered their house through an opening in the kitchen.

Liberata la Victoria and Chief had been watching TV on the sofa when suddenly Chief jumped up and alerted her to the presence of a cobra less than 10 feet away. Maria Victoria rushed in and pulled her grandmother into a separate room, hoping the snake would leave.

But when Maria Victoria later emerged from the room, she was terrified to find the cobra poised about two feet away. Equally startled, the cobra expanded its hood and appeared to be spitting venom as it prepared to strike.

“The snake was in front of us, maneuvering a deadly attack,” says Maria Victoria. “I screamed out loud to ask for help.” 1

That’s when from “out of nowhere”, Chief dashed between the cobra and the two women, using himself as a shield against the cobra’s attacks. Chief then seized the cobra by the neck and slammed it into the floor, killing it.

GOOD DOG DOWN
Four-year-old “Chief”, an American Pit Bull Terrier, dashed in front of a venomous snake which was poised to strike at 87-year-old Liberata la Victoria and her granddaughter Maria Victoria. Shielding the women from the attack, Chief saved them but died minutes later from the snake’s bite.

But for Chief it was a Pyrrhic victory. In the struggle, he sustained a fatal bite to the jaw, and moments later he began gasping for breath and collapsed.

The family sought the help of a veterinarian, but they were told that nothing could be done. According to the vet, the bite was too close to Chief’s brain, and the venom had already spread. Maria Victoria called her husband Marlone who, stunned by the news, rushed home immediately.

Ian de la Rama, a friend of the family, says it was less than 30 minutes from the time Chief had been bitten that he “went wobbly and lost control of his organs,” 2 urinating and defecating uncontrollably. Yet he still kept clinging to life.

It wasn’t until Marlone arrived that Chief finally let go.

Ian de la Rama describes, “Chief gave his two deep breaths and died. He was fighting and saving his last ounces of breath to see a glimpse of his master for the last two seconds of his life.” 1

Ian adds that the last thing Chief did as he gazed up at Marlone was wag his tail.

American Bulldog for adoption

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Could you please help?

Due to family issues, we are heart broken and devastated to have to find a forever home for our 3 year old neutered American bulldog.
We are not looking to make any money off our family pet, but we are looking for a responsible owner, who has had the breed before, or is knowledgeable about the breed. We are only looking for the perfect home for our boy, and we are not going to just give him to anyone! (such as you know because of your breed experience) I was wondering if you know of any individuals that have purchased a dog off you in the past, and are looking to expand their family.
Odin is white and brindle, and approximately 100lbs. He is neutered (was never a stud) and has all his shots. When we purchased him we were only looking for a family pet.
He is a loving American bulldog, who is great with children (we have a 13 month old son )and other female dogs. (He was attacked by another male when he was a pup and never got over it.) His dog friends are a 5lbs Pomeranian, 13 year old West highland terrier, 6 year old pug, and a 2 year old black lab x. plus he grew up with two cats. Just to give you an idea what he has been around.
Thank you for your time
