Sir Francis Drake show. He is so much fun to own and show; I love having a
dog that wants to learn new things and likes the show ring! Joey‟s name,
Brown Bomber, comes from the most famous fighter of all time — Joe Louis.
But Joey is actually a lover, not a fighter!
Sire: Ch. Dowat’s the Contender
Dam: Cherokee Legend Ivory Girl — “Millie”
Joey also has completed his CGC, has two legs on his Novice Rally title, and
won Best in Sweeps in Seattle.

November is BCA Nationals month!
Westin Crown Center
www.2009bcanationalshow.com
We certainly wish all members who are attending the Nationals, the very
best! BCNC can be very proud indeed of our West Coast Bulldogs. Did you
notice all the innovations this year — reserved crating and grooming areas,
reserved seating, no puppies under the age of 6 months allowed at the
Westin hotel, and for the first time in many years — no newsletter contest,
and subsequently, no website competition either.
Very good news: If you cannot attend but wish you could this year you
can watch from your computer via a live video feed! The entire six days will
be broadcast live — cost is $25 prepaid. Single days are just $10. For details, go to www.2009bcanationalshow.com.

President's Message
ello again members,
I can‟t believe we are quickly approaching our Annual Specialty show. I hope
many of you have entered and others who are not entered will come and join in
the fun. We have a lot to see and enjoy: obedience, rally, conformation classes, raffle
table, auction items, and ways and means — something for everyone!
As the year begins to wrap up, I start to think about how we can be more inclusive of
our many members out there. I would love for everyone to come to the Specialty; it is just a wonderful, fun event. I
know not everyone can come, but even if you have just ONE pet, you will find something fun there to watch and
enjoy. We urge you to come, get involved. We need volunteers to sell raffle tickets, ways and means, donate items to
auction or the raffle, and help set up or tear down the show. IT ALL BOOSTS THE BULLDOG, OUR
WONDERFUL, LOVING BREED.
This year we will have Brenda Newcomb from the National Education committee for Bulldog Club of America
putting on a seminar on the Bulldog. It will be very educational and interesting, so plan to attend that as well.
SEE YOU ALL AT THE SHOW!!!

Exhibitor Rule Changes
Chapter 11, Section 1.
No dog shall be exhibited in a licensed or member dog show,
except for dogs entered in the Miscellaneous Class unless it
is either individually registered in the AKC Stud Book, or
individually registered with a foreign registry organization
whose pedigrees are acceptable for AKC registration. A dog
with an AKC limited Registration shall be ineligible to be
entered in a breed competition in a licensed or member dog
show.
An unregistered dog with an acceptable foreign registration
that is individually registered with a foreign registry
organization whose pedigrees are acceptable for AKC
registration may, without special AKC approval, be exhibited
in licensed or member dog shows that are held not later than
30 days after the date of the first licensed or member dog
show in which the dog was exhibited, but only provided that
the individual foreign registration and name of the country of
birth, are shown on the entry form; and provided further that
the same name (which in the case of a foreign-registered dog
must be the name on the foreign registrations) is used for the
dog each time.
No dog that has not been individually registered with The
American Kennel Club when first exhibited in a licensed or
member dog show shall be eligible to be exhibited in any
licensed or member dog show that is held more than 30 days
after the date of the first licensed or member dog show in
which it was exhibited, unless the dog's individual AKC
registration number is shown on the entry form, or unless the
owner has received from The American Kennel Club an
extension notice in writing authorizing further entries of the
dog for a specified time with its individual foreign registration
number. No such extension will be granted unless the owner
can clearly demonstrate, in a letter addressed to the Show
Records Department of The American Kennel Club
requesting such extension, that the delay in registration is
due to circumstances for which he is not responsible.
Such extension notice will be void upon registration of the
dog or upon expiration of the period for which the extension
has been granted if that occurs earlier, but upon application
further extensions may be granted.
The California Bulldogge—October 2009
Q: Some Bulldogs are more resistant to training and
less motivated by food than others; in short, they
seem to just not care about it. What tricks or
suggestions do you have to get them ‘up’?
Hi Everybody,
Prize: I sure have heard some nice things from some of you
about the new column. Glad you liked it.
I find it hard to believe there are dogs out there that aren‟t wild
about food, I mean really, so I asked my Mom if she knows how
to deal with it. She sure hasn‟t learned how from any of us.
Mom writes for me: It is true that some dogs are more difficult
to motivate than others. We have all heard of Pavlov‟s
experiments where he rang a bell and food appeared. Soon, the
dogs would salivate upon hearing the bell even when food did
not appear. This is a method of raising the importance of one
thing by its association with another. In other words, the dogs
liked food. When the bell rang as food appeared the dogs
learned to associate the bell with food and gave a positive
response. Okay how does that help us as trainers?
First, we start with something the dog likes, a ball, a toy, a
certain game, petting…. Do what they like and give some food
tidbit with it. Gradually, the importance of food will rise.
However, just throwing food is not the whole answer. You need
GOOD treats, something your dog thinks is good — liverwurst,
string cheese, roast beef, chicken, liver cookies. Notice none of
these are prepared “dog treats”. For some dogs commercial
stuff is just great, but with your hard-to-motivate dog you need
the big guns.
Prize: Okay guys, that sounds great, but she forgot the most
important part: when she offers me treats she gets all excited,
shows it to me, tells me how great it is and, of course, how great
I am, and then gives me the treat. Naturally, I‟m really ready for
it and eager to do whatever she asks for next to get some more
of that good stuff and lots more of that excitement, petting and
praise.
Mom says training a dog is a lot like the agility teeter totter that
I used to do before I retired — you want to balance it. So, if
your dog is hard to get excited, you need to up the ante and get
real excited. Sometimes Mom had to do that with me when I
was too worried about The Aliens. With Copper Bear, she has to
be very calm and low key because Copper is such a goofball.
„Til next time, Mom‟s address, phone and email are here:
