FBFC’s 1st Annual National French Bulldog Specialty Show

On September 18 and 19, 2000 the French Bulldog Fanciers of Canada held the first National French Bulldog Specialty Show in Canada. As the FBFA we had hosted 53 Frenchies for that show in 1998 but this time we had almost that many entries in our Puppy Swwpstakes on the Monday and almost twice that number for the Best of Breed competition. There were 49 enters for Sweeps and 95 for Best of Breed. This is the largest gathering ever of Frenchies in our country.

We had visitors from Japan, England, Mexico, the Netherlands, Belgium and from all over Canada and the United States. This was to prove to be quite a show.

At high noon on September 18 things got under way with Dr. Richard Meen judging the Puppy Sweepstakes. The competition was extraordinary and Dr. Meen had a lot of tough decisions to make before he finally chose Fabelhaft Flower Power, owned and handled by James Dalton, as the Sweepstakes winner.

That evening Arlie Toye and the French Bullytin hosted the first ever Bullytin Silver Cup outside of the United States. This event was very well attended and everyone had a great time and full stomachs by the time it wrapped up! The nights judging was done by Nanette Goldberg. I might add that the evening had a lovely sound to it with Arlie serenading all the dogs and guests on a Grand Piano that had appeared in the middle of our show ring. We hope to make this a regular event at the Canadian Specialties. Thanks Arlie, it was a great time.

Day 2 had a little earlier start as Breeder/Judge John F. Peddie had 95 Frenchies to sort through to select his Best of Breed winner. He carefully picked his way through the dog classes and then the bitch classes and finally after scouring the classes he chose his winners.

That evening the show wrapped up on a very positive note with Banquet, auction and raffle. Dinner was very nice and that was followed by Kathy Dannel’s hilarious antics in a very busy auction. Then it was time to claim your winnings in the raffle and silent auction.

Although this was our very first National Specialty in Canada we were very pleased with the outcome. There were things that we would have done differently but overall we consider this a huge success. There were no major shortcomings to mention and generally everything ran very smoothly. We look forward to visiting British Columbia in 2001 for the West Coast Specialty and we will be thinking ahead to 2002 when the Nationals returns to Ontario. Thanks to everyone who helped out with this huge undertaking and especially for all our gracious guests who attended and made this event something special.
