UAPBTO will be hosting our first show, an APBT Specialty at UKC Premier 2019! Due to our club being approved mid – December, we were under the gun in getting our event application and judge assignment in before the deadline of Jan 1. UKC was very forgiving in giving us a couple more days to get everything in because of the late approval. UAPBTO and UKC are very excited that we will be at Premier!!!
November 2, 2019 we will be hosting our first Nationals Show! It will be a fun filled weekend event starting Friday Nov 1st. The event will be hosted at Yolo County Fairgrounds in Northern California with Cali Style APBT Club and Silver State APBT Club co-hosting with UAPBTO. This event will include the UAPBTO National, 4 Multi-Breed Shows, and 3 Weight Pull Events with Total Dog Award offered all 3 days!
We certainly understand the difficulty it has become to travel with our dogs due to recent increases in airline restrictions and we empathize with anyone who cannot make it due to these circumstances. Unfortunately, that is something that we simply cannot get around for the time being. However, there will be lots of opportunities to be part of this event even if you cannot attend, such as sponsoring an award for the show. Furthermore, we will be alternating locations of Nationals every year to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to attend at one time or another regardless of where in the U.S. you live. For the health of UAPBTO, we will need to target areas that will bring the greatest number of APBT’s out to the show.
We hope that you are as excited as we are, and we hope to see many of you there. Stay tuned for more details to come!
Disclosure: UAPBTO is a UKC Provisional National Breed Association for the APBT. During the provisional period, there will be no NBOB titles awarded by UKC until the club is fully chartered. This is the case for all Provisional National Breed Associations.
