We have several new members so I just wanted to remind everyone of our
upcoming event on Sunday, April 15. The response has been tremendous!

1. A downloadable .pdf version of the flyer is located at:
http://www.lsspbc.com/events.html
Please print it and share with everyone you know with bullies.

2. We need raffle prize donations. Admission is free, but we are
selling raffle tickets to defray the costs of the event.

3. We would love to have vendors come and sell Pit Bull-safe
merchandise (like sturdy collars, toys, treats). There is no charge.
Remember that as with the ADBA rules, merchandise must promote a
positive image of the breed.

We look forward to seeing you all there. Please bring a friend. Any
questions, please email me at mail@....

Lone Star State Club presents "Pit Bull Whisperer Day @ the Park"
A Tired Pit Bull is a Happy Pit Bull

Lone Star State Pit Bull Club is holding "Pit Bull Whisperer Day @ the
Park" at Veterans Park, Arlington, Texas, on Sunday, April 15, 2007 at
3:00 PM. In keeping with the events' theme, "A Tired Pit Bull is a
Happy Pit Bull," the club will introduce participants to a variety of
ways to safely exercise, train and socialize American Pit Bull
Terriers and Pit Bull mixes.

Information stations and short demos will cover topics including:
obedience and socialization, weight pulling (competitions in which
dogs pull weighted sleds down a track), conformation shows, and
equipment for safe exercise and confinement. Experienced handlers and
judges will be available to answer questions. Rescue groups will be
accepting applications for adoptable dogs, and information about
low-cost vaccinations and spaying and neutering will also be available.

All owners and prospective owners of American Pit Bull Terriers and
Bully breeds, including non-pedigreed and mixed breeds, are welcome.
Dogs accompanying their owners should have a valid rabies tag and a 4'
or shorter leash. Crates are strongly suggested. Admission is free.

"The club wanted to share with the public how we keep our dogs happy
and healthy," said Laura Dapkus, show secretary. "The incidents that
make the newspapers result from a cascade of mistakes – poor breeding,
wrong dog, wrong owner, a lack of training and outlets for energy, and
especially inadequate fencing. One of the club's priorities is to
proactively address these issues."

Since 1981, the Lone Star State Pit Bull Club has served as the
Dallas-Fort Worth area's sanctioned American Dog Breeders Association
(ADBA) club. The ADBA is the largest registry of American Pit Bull
Terriers in the world; the breed is also registered by the United
Kennel Club (UKC), and by the American Kennel Club (AKC) as the
American Staffordshire Terrier. Lone Star State Pit Bull Club officers
are available to speak to community groups about the APBT and
responsible dog ownership. Further information is available at:

Address of event:
Veterans Park – in the large gazebo -- 3600 W. Arkansas Lane,
Arlington, TX.
This event will be held rain or shine.
