This is a great deal, folks. The vet charges over $200 and even a low-priced clinic is $70+ to spay an adult dog.   Lone Star State American Pit Bull Terrier Club advocates breeding only to improve the health, temperament and conformation of our breed — and that means the vast majority should not be bred.  There are just too many friendly bulldogs in the shelters right now, especially with the economic downturn.

Lone Star State American Pit Bull Terrier Club Dog Show – Nov. 2009

Don’t miss the big event of the year this Thanksgiving weekend!

It’s here! The big show and weight pull Saturday & Sunday Thanksgiving weekend in Cleburne, Texas.

Here is the flyer and map.

And here are some tips for what to expect at an ADBA conformation show, what to bring, etc.

Dress warm! Event though the event is indoors, it tends to be very chilly in the morning and evening.  Wear layers as you would for a camping or hunting trip. Bring lots of blankets and water from home for the dogs.

If you can please bring a raffle prize. Also, we can always use more folding tables so if you have one and it happens to fit please bring it.

We look forward to seeing you!

Quick links to AVMA, other anti-BSL studies

Instead of having to hunt for this every time you need it, here are a few quick links to reputable sources of studies that debunk BSL

Coalition for Living Safely with Dogs
http://www.livingsafelywithdogs.org/
This group of animal control professionals and shelters has probably put more into collecting data than anyone recently, and concludes: “The existence of dangerous dogs arises from a complex set of social issues and cannot be effectively addressed by breed specific legislation.”

American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) “A Community Approach to Dog Bite Prevention.”
http://www.avma.org/public_health/dogbite/dogbite.pdf
“Dog bite statistics are not really statistics, and they do not give an accurate picture of dogs that bite. Invariably the numbers will show that dogs from popular large breeds are a problem. This should be expected, because big dogs can physically do more damage if they do bite, and any popular breed has more individuals that could bite.”
