Happy New Year fellow bulldoggers, 2010 is going to be an exciting year with lots of News and Shows.

2010 is going to be a busy and exciting year for the ABRA, we already have 15 shows confirmed for this year, many will also include Olde Bulldogge shows sanctioned by the OBBA. We will be having shows coast to coast, many in

new locations.

We will also have new year long competitions, the Show Dog of the Year, ABRA Show Kennel of the year and ABRA Show Team of the year Awards, these awards will be handed out at the ABRA nationals in the new

Purina Farms near St. Louis, Missouri.

Along with the new competitions we are accepting point transfers from other registries to help you earn your champion titles.

New for 2010 ABRA Show Dog of the Year, ABRA Show Kennel of the year and ABRA Show Team of the year Awards.

These will be annual awards, Kennel and dogs must be ABRA registered to compete. Awards will be presented at the ABRA World Championships in St. Louis Missouri October 24/25 2010.

Top Dog:

The Top Dog will be determined by show points earned through all 2010 ABRA shows

Top Kennel:

The Top Kennel will be based on the accumulation of all points earned through all 2010 ABRA shows by dogs you either own or bred, (to be considered the breeder you had to be the owner of the dam when the pups were born.)

Top Team:

The Top Team will consist of 6 dogs, dogs can only be on one team for the team challenge but the individual dogs may still compete for top dog and their points may still be used for Top Kennel

Any owners, age, sex or type (classis or standard)

Teams are established before the season starts, dogs cannot switch teams.

At the end of the show season the points earned by each dog are totalled and then the totals for the 6 dogs are totalled again, team with the most points wins!
