Hello to all here...very nice board. Good luck with it.

My name is Mike Burke.... I live in NYC... I train with the Mid Island SchH Club of Long Island.....We belong to SchH USA.... We are an all breed club. We have some really nice dogs that have competed on the Regional,National and World level. I am the club helper. I also do some suit work for my buddy who trains in PSA... An American Bulldog with a PSA 1. I do decoy work for some Police Departments in PA as well.

I have been training in SchH for two years now... I have an American Bulldog... He earned his BH this past November.

Hey Mike...Many moons ago I trained a Screaming Eagle/Ralph Gaston Am Bulldog (Gaston's Pointblank). He was brought to El Salvador from Alaska. Where did you get yours? How's the breed in general (the performance side)? Which are good, better, great performance kennels? Any pics?

BTW, welcome to WDF...

This was THE DOG:

Welcome from North Carolina!

Thanks all....

Andres...Nice Pics & Nice dog...Thanks for sharing.

My dog is from True-Grit Kennels... TG Zeus (SchH BH) x Lichtardts Thong... All performance blood. True-Grit dogs and SE dogs mainly go back to the same foundation stock... Leclerc blood mainly a dog named Bama Boy.

The dogs to have in the breed are Hybred dogs... a mix of performance and Johnson blood. They are the type excelling in sport work. There are a couple of really nice performance dogs out there... But the hybreds are the way to go...in my opinion.

Matt Boyd is a breeder of several dog that are working in all venues and many that have titled in SchH... A dog in my club is from Boyd's and he has his SchH III.

Another couple of kennels that have put out some workers are ADK (Awesome Dog Kennel), Souza's American Bulldogs...and White Moutain Kennels.

Welcome to the forum, Mike!

I could not get these up through the img tag...so I made them links

Got to represent the American Bulldogs on here.... :wink:

MOD NOTE: See that t=22384924 crap at the end? Take that out. In Photobucket when you look at your gallery there'll be 3 links under each thumbnail, titled URL Link, HTML Tag and IMG Code.... the easiest is to just copy and paste the IMG Code link into the forum... nothing else required because it includes the IMG tags in it already. /Mike

Thanks Mike..Much appreciated!

I forgot some pics of Casper my female AB..She is eight years old....I started bite training with her just last year for fun.... She is a natural...Wish I knew about sport work when she was a pup. She has a natural full grip too...She is an amazing dog. And I am a sh** for not putting her pic up!

Her she is...

[Beth Fuqua]

Thanks for sharing all the great pictures!!

Among the many things I love about SchH sport is the diversity among the dogs first, and the people second who participate. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your photos!! Best wishes to you for titles, or whatever your pursuits!
