–Well, as long as you are within 150 miles of the East Texas Piney Woods, that is! :-)

On Octo­ber 29, a French Bull­dog spe­cialty show is being held in Austin, Texas.

What is a spe­cialty you won­der? Aren’t Frenchies already spe­cial enough?

A spe­cialty dog show is a show where 100 per­cent of your (and our) favorite breed gal­lops around the show ring. Usu­ally a spe­cialty has some extra classes, such as Vet­er­ans to show off the old-timers, and Stud Guy and Brood Gal to show off the dogs con­tribut­ing their genes to bet­ter­ing the breed. There might be a raf­fle or other fund-raising events, too.

Some­times there is a sweep­stakes, most times a Puppy Sweep­stakes for pups to get extra prac­tice and extra goodies.

If you’ve been think­ing of get­ting a French Bull­dog, a spe­cialty is a good way to see nice Frenchies, meet own­ers and breed­ers, and learn more about the breed. (But best to leave any unen­tered dogs at home. If you ever go to a dog show, you’ll imme­di­ately real­ize why.)

Does this all sound fun? Then you are in luck! On Octo­ber 29th a spe­cialty show is being hosted by the Heart of Texas French Bull­dog Club. This spe­cialty includes reg­u­lar classes, non-regular classes, a raf­fle, TWO sweep­stakes (one for pup­pies and one for vet­er­ans), and an RVSP dinner.
