OK, even though my heart belongs to the little Fluffs, I’ve always felt a special affection for the Bully breeds. One of my Eukanuba buddies recently went to the Razor’s Edge Dog Show in Orlando. His report was posted today on the Eukanuba Unleashed blog.

The American Bully Kennel Club is dedicated to a breed they call “the American Bully,” created from the American Pit Bull Terrier and the American Staffordshire Terrier. Their goal is to retain all the positives of these breeds, along with the beautiful physic of the dog.  They want to educate the public and break down negative stereotyping–not just about the Bully, but about the people who share their lives with Bullys. This is NOT about dog fighting, but it is about celebrating great dogs.  The story is told in detail on the Razor’s Edge web site, and is definitely worth a read. 

And make sure you visit the Atomic Dogg Magazine web site. I LOVE the videos of all the people who love their Bullys and and who love showing off their Bullys! Making a positive impact for the breed, and showing respect. Family, unity, celebrating diversity, having a good time, and great dogs! I can get into that!

My friend Emily over on Eukanuba Unleashed posted today about how to throw a “pawty” on February 6 when Animal Planet broadcasts the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship. Em has got all the bases covered–from invitations to decor to drinks. She even includes a scorecard–the Bone Collector Grid–that you can use in a game to keep track of which dog is moving forward for the win. Actually, I think the Bone Collector Grid might be a fun game to play at any dog show–especially for kids who might become a little antsy during the judging.

This is a big weekend for us–and by “us” I mean Eukanuba! This weekend many of our Eukanuba team are in Long Beach, California for the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship.

My buddy, Emily, is there covering the show for our new blog Eukanuba Unleashed. I get to stay home and “cover” some of Em’s work! Which is fine with me because I get to immerse myself in some of the Eukanuba-oriented stuff that Emily gets to do.

So first thing this morning, I took the time to catch up on videos that have been posted to the Eukanuba Channel on YouTube. There’s some really wonderful new ones, but I think my favorite is this one:
