Of course HugABull was out in full force with our army of volunteers,our flyers and of course our four legged friends. As the crowds grew and our booth got busy we had a great opportunity to show everyone just how great these dogs truly are, and with our furry friends there to prove it we had a lot of people walking away with a new perception of the breed.
There is nothing better than watching peoples eyes light up when they have a new understanding of the breed.
As information was being traded we got to see a lot of well behaved bully's stop by for some hugs and kisses. We also got a visit from News 1130 who were really interested in our Paw-Di-Cures (thank you Markeyda's Grooming for your support and hard work) as well as who HugABull was and what we where about. Keep your ears tuned in and maybe you will hear us.
One thing that we did start to notice was that sadly Pit Bulls have something in common with one of the smallest breeds of dogs. Chihuahuas, and that is that they are everywhere. If we thought we had it bad, well the Chi's are a close second.
I got a chance to speak to the BC Chihuahua Rescue Club and they are feeling the same as us, overwhelmed. Thanks to Miss Paris Hilton, Chihuahuas have started popping up all over the country and also in our shelter systems. With Backyard Breeders taking full advantage of this new trend in designer dogs, more and more of them are being over bred, and then abandoned. The reason we don't see many in the shelters around our area is that most shelters try to place them with private rescues as fast as possible as they are not equipped for such tiny creatures. But just because we can't see them as easily as we can the Pit Bulls doesn't mean they aren't there, because they are and in astonishing numbers. We tip our hats to BC Chihuahua Rescue and ask them to keep up the good work.
With theExpo behind us, we look forward to hearing from the new friends we made and maybe even from some of those whose minds may be a little more open to this wonderful breed.
