2005 Ottawa SBTCC Booster
May 27-29, 2005
The SBTCC held its 2005 booster hosted by the
Ottawa Kennel Club at the Richmond Fairground,
outside of Ottawa.
The Ottawa Kennel
Club graciously suspended judging in all other rings
during judging of SBTCC Booster. This move was designed to
focus attention on our breed and its plight under Bill
132.
There was an important Club meeting at that show. There was
an information table, donation jar for BSL, and a beautiful
hand-knit afghan for raffle.
The club would like to thank all those who took part in the
booster to make it a very special day.

Father's Day - Restore Our Rights Walk in Toronto
Julie King reports:
The
Restore Our Rights protest walk, which took place in the
Yonge/Eglington area of Toronto on Father's Day, was a great success.
We wanted to reach out to people at a grassroots level and did that
quite successfully. I'd estimate that we had 50+ people come out and
several people spontaneously joined in as we were en route. One
gentleman who owns a Rhodesian ridgeback cross (his dog is not banned
under Bill 132) came from Niagara Falls and we had several families
come from Hamilton, Burlington, Kitchener and other cities. We had
something in the region of 30 dogs at the event and as we expected they
were exceptionally well behaved. There were a large number of purebred
Staffordshire Bull Terriers (approx. 20), several American Pit Bull
Terriers (approx. 10) and a some dogs from other breeds including a
Whippet, Scottie and Sheltie.
As we walked we handed out 240 information flyers to people walking along Yonge Street. (view photos)

Another Successful Auction!
The SBTCC raised $305 from its latest eBay auction of this beautiful framed cross-stich of 4-year old Australian Champion Tanaros Super Glide ("Leeroy").
Leeroy
is a 4 year old champion from Australia, currently winding down a very
active show circuit career. At the time of this sketch Leeroy was 9
months old. The electronic version was donated to the Staffordshire
Bull Terrier Club of Canada's Elaine Tessier by the artist herself,
Kylie Snell, for the purpose of raising funds.
100 % of the
proceeds go to the SBTCC - Legal Defence Account in Canada. Thanks to everyone who took part! (seller code - sbtccldf)Check our SBTCC eBay Auction Site regularly for new items.

Woofstock 2005
The
SBTCC would like thank everyone who helped at
our booth at Woofstock 2005 held June 4-5th. Lynn Shields and her
friends, Tony and Holly Marshall, Narcisa Tatu, Sammie Sembol, Eric
Sparling, Julie King, Tracy Dineley among others came out to represent
the club and responsible dog owners. Maureen Pyke produced posters for
the event.
 Approximately 40,000 came out to the show and it was a great
venue to show how friendly our breed is, how small our breed is, and most importantly how
ridiculous breed specific legislation is in its entirety.
Karalyn Maloney writes of the event:
"My
6 year old daughter Keiara [featured with Brin to the left] was so
excited to see herself in a picture on your site with her newest
friend. I had such trouble getting Brin to say goodbye to her, let
alone Keiara to say goodbye to Brin...
I'd like to point out,
that up until last year, Keiara was terrified of dogs. We told her it
would be different if we got a dog, that she'd see how great they are,
especially the Staffies...
Growing up with a Stafford myself, I
couldn't imagine having any other breed in our family. Sure enough, she
and Dozer, our 16 month old staffordshire bull dozer (to coin her
term,) are inseparable.
Thanks so much for posting this picture, you just made both my daughters and my day!"
Thanks to Karalyn and Keiara for making our day!
