Member’s Info

As we approach the end of 2024, I want to take a moment to extend my heartfelt thanks to each of you for your support and dedication to our club. It’s been a year of growth, camaraderie, and memories, and none of this would have been possible without the commitment of our amazing officers and members.

First and foremost, I am thrilled to announce the newly elected leadership team for 2025. Please join me in congratulating:

  • Lana, President 
  • Richard, Vice President
  • Jaz, Secretary
  • Link, Treasurer

As your newly elected President, I want to express that I have a lot to learn, and I remain committed to a growth mindset throughout this journey. While I bring a fresh perspective, I deeply value the wisdom and experience of each of you. Together, I believe we can continue to build on the strong foundation we’ve established. I am also indebted to the profound love and meaning the Bulldog community has brought to my life, and I know you share that same bond.

In 2025, I will be championing three key initiatives:

Driving Membership – Expanding the capacity of the club to ensure we continue to grow and thrive.

Revitalizing Our Shows – Enhancing the visibility, registration, and participation in our specialty show.

Bridging Opportunities with Bulldog Rescues – Strengthening our outreach and increasing community knowledge by working closely with Bulldog rescues to raise awareness and create meaningful connections.

A few other notes:

Once more, wishing you and your families a wonderful holiday season and a prosperous New Year ahead.

Onward,

Dr. Lana Clay

Sand to Sea Info

Sand to Sea Information

The premium list for the Sand to Sea Non-Sporting group shows and the two Bulldog Club of America, Division III specialty shows can be retrieved through the link below.  These shows will be held January 2 and 3, 2025 at the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, California.  There are additional shows over the weekend on January 4 and 5, 2025 and that premium list can be found at jbradshaw.com.   REMEMBER YOU SHOULD ENTER 4 SHOWS PLUS 1 SWEEPSTAKES AT DOGZIBIT.COMAND 2 SHOWS AT JBRADSHAW.COM!!!!

2025 SSNSA Premium List.pdf – Google Drive.

A few highlights:

  • The Palm Springs/Indio weekend includes a total of 6 shows with 2 on Thursday, 2 on Friday and 1 on both Saturday and Sunday.   On Thursday and Friday, there are 3 breeder-judges (Jeff and Winn Ryman and Sara Black from Texas with her first assignment) and 1 popular all-breed judge (Janet Allen) on Thursday.  Also, the Saturday judge for the Kennel Club of Palm Springs show is Amanda Ashley, a French Bulldog breeder who was very close friends with bulldoggers Abe and Suzy Segal.  The other KCPS judge is Lesley Hiltz, who is a respected Bulldog judge in her own right.  So six shows in four days with lots of respected judges!
  • For the first time in several years, Division III is also offering a sweepstakes on Thursday with breeder judge Cindy Carlson from Texas.  If you have dogs under 24 months of age, please enter them in the sweepstakes!  We want Cindy to get a good entry.  The entry fee for sweepstakes is only $20 and remember you can enter sweepstakes if your dog is under two years of age and isn’t a champion.   Another new wrinkle with this sweepstakes.  The Club will retain 25% of the entry fees to offset the cost of ribbons for the 2 specialties.  The other 75% will be paid 70% to the Best in Sweeps and 30% to the Best Opposite in Sweeps.  Let’s assume we get 20 entries in the sweepstakes.  The Best in Sweeps would get $210 and the Best Opposite would get $90!  Enter those young dogs please!
  • We will be having the annual party at my house in Palm Springs on Saturday, January 4th.  We will have some fundraising for the 2028 BCA National Show that night, including a return of the SPEEDBOATS in the pool.  All bulldoggers are welcome!
  • As Sand to Sea Show Chair, Link has received complaints about the cost of hotel rooms in the desert, so for the first time Sand to Sea has reserved a block of reasonably priced motel rooms at the Motel 6 in Palm Desert right off the 10 freeway.  See page 18 of the premium list for details.   These rooms will be offered to Sand to Sea exhibitors exclusively on a first come, first serve basis.   Please contact Link Newcomb if you want a reservation at that motel.
  • As an entry incentive, Sand to Sea is offering Division III a rebate for the first time.  If the entry for either Division specialty is high enough for a major in both sexes, then Sand to Sea will pay the Division an additional $2 per entry for qualifying specialty.
  • Sand to Sea if offering junior showmanship for no entry fee on Thursday and Friday.  If you know a junior, ask them to enter because the Best Junior on Thursday will receive a $1,000 scholarship!
  • Please forward the premium list link to other bulldog friends who are not members of PCBC.
  • Entries close early because of the holidays.  You must get your entries in before December 11th.  Don’t miss the deadline.
  • Please support the Club by supporting these shows.  They are always fun and we expect majors at every show.

Repeating, REMEMBER YOU SHOULD ENTER 4 SHOWS PLUS 1 SWEEPSTAKES AT DOGZIBIT.COMAND 2 SHOWS AT JBRADSHAW.COM!!!!

If you have any questions about these shows, please contact either of the Show Chairs, Link Newcomb (new number 714 660-0600) or Lesley DeHaas (909 636-1949).

Thank you for your attention.

For Spanish-speaking exhibitors:

Algunos aspectos destacados:

•          El fin de semana de Palm Springs/Indio incluye un total de 6 shows: 2 el jueves, 2 el viernes y 1 el sábado y el domingo.   El jueves y viernes, hay 3 jueces criadores (Jeff y Winn Ryman y Sara Black de Texas con su primera asignación) y 1 juez popular de todas las razas (Janet Allen) en el jueves.  Además, el juez del sábado para el show del Kennel Club de Palm Springs es Amanda Ashley, una criadora de Bulldog Francés que es muy amiga de los bulldoggers Abe y Suzy Segal.  La otra jueza de KCPS es Lesley Hiltz, quien es una respetada jueza de Bulldog por derecho propio.  ¡Seis shows en cuatro días con muchos jueces respetados!

•         Por primera vez en varios años, la División III también ofrecerá un sorteo en el jueves con la jueza criadora Cindy Carlson de Texas.  Si tienes perros menores de 24 meses, ¡inscríbelos en el sorteo!  Queremos que Cindy tenga una buena entrada.  La tarifa de inscripción para el sorteo es de solo $20 y recuerda que puedes participar en el sorteo si tu perro tiene menos de dos años y no es campeón.   Otra novedad en este sorteo.  El Club retendrá el 25% del importe de la inscripción para compensar el coste de los ribbons las 2 BCA shows.  El otro 75% se pagará 70% al Mejor en Sweeps y 30% al Mejor Opuesto en Sweeps.  Supongamos que obtenemos 20 entradas en el sorteo.  ¡El mejor en sweepstakes obtendra $210 y el mejor opuesto obtendra $90!  ¡Entran esos perros jóvenes, por favor!

•         Celebraremos la fiesta anual en mi casa en Palm Springs el sábado 4 de enero.  En esta noche tendremos algo de recaudación de fondos para el Espectáculo Nacional BCA 2028, incluido el regreso de las lanchas rápidas a la piscina.  ¡Todos los bulldoggers son bienvenidos!

•         Como presidente del espectáculo Sand to Sea, Link ha recibido quejas sobre el costo de las habitaciones de hotel en el desierto, por lo que, por primera vez, Sand to Sea ha reservado un bloque de habitaciones de motel a precios razonables en el Motel 6 en Palm Desert justo al lado de la 10 autopista.  Consulte la página 18 de la lista de primas para obtener más detalles.   Estas habitaciones se ofrecerán a los expositores de Sand to Sea exclusivamente por orden de llegada.   Comuníquese con Link Newcomb si desea hacer una reserva en ese motel.

•         Como incentivo de entrada, Sand to Sea ofrece por primera vez un reembolso a la División III.  Si la inscripción para cualquiera de las especialidades de la División es suficientemente alta para una especialización en ambos sexos, Sand to Sea pagará a la División $2 adicionales por inscripción para la especialidad que califique.

•         Sand to Sea si ofrece show juvenil sin costo de entrada los jueves y viernes.  Si conoces a un junior, pídele que participe porque el mejor junior del jueves recibirá una beca de $1,000.

•      Envíe el enlace de la lista premium a otros amigos bulldog que no sean miembros de PCBC.

  • Las inscripciones cierran temprano debido a los días festivos.  Debes recibir tus inscripciones antes del 11 de diciembre.  No te pierdas la fecha límite.
  • Por favor apoye al Club apoyando estos programas.  Siempre son divertidos y esperamos grandes premios en cada show.

Repitiendo, RECUERDA QUE DEBES PARTICIPAR EN 4 SHOWS MÁS 1 SORTEO EN DOGZIBIT.COM Y 2 SHOWS EN JBRADSHAW.COM!!!!

Si tienes alguna pregunta sobre estos espectáculos, comuníquese con cualquiera de los Show Chairs, Link Newcomb (nuevo número 714 660-0600) o Lesley DeHaas (909 636-1949).

Specialty Trophy Donations

As you know, the PCBC specialty weekend is fast approaching — April 12 to 14 (5 shows over 3 days).   We’re offering trophies for the first four shows.  Please find attached the trophy donation request form as well as a listing of the donor acknowledgements and pledges received as of today.   As you’ll see, we have a long way to go.  We haven’t collected any funds for the classes yet.  You can sponsor a full class for $40 or a half class for $20.  There are still many trophies with no sponsor.  None of the Best of Winners ($60) has been sponsored and only one Best of Opposite ($75) has a donor.  All of the Selects and most of the Reserves are still available to be sponsored.  We haven’t received donations from any of the Division III member clubs yet (probably just haven’t been contacted yet).

There are instructions about making a donation on the donation form.  Please contact Brenda Newcomb or me if you have any questions.  Please forward to anyone not on this email distribution list that may wish to donate.  We need to try and finish collecting donations by the time entries close on March 27th.

To determine if a particular trophy is still available to be sponsored, see if there is already a donor listed on the acknowledgement listing.  If you have made a donation, please make sure that the acknowledgement is correct (spelling, name, etc.).  Let me know  if there is a correction to be made.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated by PCBC.
