Idle Winds Lodge and Conference Centre in Centurion played host to an American Bully dog show over the weekend.
The show was hosted by Royal Bully Empire in association with the American Bully Registry of South Africa (ABRSA) and the International Kennel Club.
The ABRSA is the premier registry for American Bully breeds in Southern Africa.
WATCH STACK AND STANCE VIDEO:
We attended the event on Saturday, but the event took place over two days.
The dog show provided a platform for South Africa’s top American Bully Kennels and owners to showcase their dogs.
At dog shows stacking is a very important part of showcasing the dog’s conformation.
According to the judge at the show, Andries Botes, stacking refers to the act of positioning a dog’s body and limbs into a specific, balanced, and anatomically correct stance for the judge to evaluate its conformation (physical structure). It’s a crucial part of showing a dog, as it allows the judge to see the dog’s structure from various angles and assess how well it conforms to the breed standard.
This means that they can judge as accurately as possible.
One of the categories at the show was the dog with the biggest head.
Botes measures the circumference of the head and eliminates dogs based off the measurement.
Ghost (M), a bully owned by Crypto Bullies won this contest, with a size of 69 centimeters.
Organisers of the event hosted a car stance show alongside the American Bully dog show.
This provided photographers with an opportunity to get pictures of the dogs in front of cars.
