On the 2008 Express


Like with every new year, we all start to think of personal resolutions, thing's we would like to improve and or expand on, and for us here at HugABull we do the very same. With a successful 2007 behind us, we are looking to expand on what went right and tweak the things that could have been better.

Things that went really right last year - Pit Ed Classes. With our very own certified Pet Dog Trainer Shelagh we got things right!!! Shelagh has been working her butt off helping bully owners combat bad behaviour. As we all know, bully breeds can sometime be rude at the end of the leash when they see another dog, and for many Vancouverites, Pit Ed was just what they needed.

With numerous classes under her belt and classes filling up so fast; we could'nt help but jump for joy over this great success.

If you are interested in getting your dog enrolled with Pit Ed please email Shelagh at info@hugabull.com


Another thing we got right! Public Events - Last year we really concentrated on getting ourselves involved with some very large scale events. The Vancouver Pet Expo, Pride Parade, BCSPCA Paws for a Cause and we even took some chances with the media. Well this year we have adapted the motto if it ain't broke don't fix it and we have lined ourselves up again to be apart of the Vancouver Pet Expo happening March 29 & 30th. This is the largest Pet Expo in BC and so we are very glad to be apart of it for another go round. If you are heading out to the Expo don't forget to come by and see us.

It had been a couple of years since our last Volunteer Meeting and so we decided it was time to get our new volunteers as well as our old updated on what was going to be taking place over the next year. We also wanted to update other bully owners on what was happeing in and around the Lower Mainland in regards to BSL = Breed Specific Legislation. Many where not aware of just how far it has creeped into our cozy little towns.
A new event for this year was our first ever CGN Test = Canine Good Neighbour Test. With Samantha Marshall at the wheel she ran a whole day devoted to getting Bully's their certificate. Everything went off almost without a hitch, everyone had a great time and she managed to certifiy a good number of Pit Bulls. Yahooo! Sam hopes to be hosting another one of these coming up in the near future, so keep your eyes on our website for more information.

Together in Pitties
