Annual California Classic Event: From Spot to Weight Pull, to Conformation and more, it’s fun for all!

On January 11-13, 2019, Cali Style APBT Club, a member club of the United Pit Bull Terrier Organization, had the privilege and the honor to co-host with the United Kennel Club, their 2nd Annual California Classic!

This years events were held at the Yolo County Fairgrounds, in Woodland, CA; where as many as 19 APBT’s showed in conformation (as well as many other breeds), in a total of (6) shows for the weekend! Many of these dogs also had a great time competing in weight pull & drag racing as well.

There were many new titles earned throughout the weekend. Also, SPOT designations were earned by some outstanding dogs & their handlers. (Thank you to Rosalie Ball, for donating your time to provide the show with an awesome SPOT evaluator) With the help of members of our unofficial “sister” club, Silver State APBT Club, our own Cali Style membership, many true friends loyal to assisting our club, the hard working UKC staff, and all the judges; California Classic 2019 was a success!

Thank you to all that helped to make this event possible! We love seeing all those active APBT’s! Looking forward to California Classic 2020, stay tuned.

BSL Awareness Demonstration a Success!

On January 8, 2019, UAPBTO and Cali Style APBT Club members (Sherri Flosi, Deb Gonzales, Mike McCauley, Rosalie Ball, Kim Pearson) joined efforts with Chako Pit Bull Rescue to provide an education rally at the California State Capitol to educate our legislatures on the characteristics of the pit bull and that we will not allow BSL in our state. California’s new governor is a supporter of PETA and has tried implementation of BSL in San Francisco when he was mayor there.

It was a rainy day but we had a break in rain for the time we had our permit to demonstrate. We brought our dogs so they could meet and greet and were very well received as you can see from the pictures. There were many legislatures and/or staff that were already pit bull owners or used to have one. No negative feedback was received. As a group, we all agreed it is better to be proactive than reactive and will do this again soon.
