This will be an annual dog show and is developing a growth is directly correlated with your involvement and feedback. Thank you!

Adult dog guidance

Teeth need to be shown.

1.2 all dogs will have a minimum 30 second with maximum 2 minutes video clip consisting of one photo frontal, one side shot and a walking clip of a dog. (The more you show in you time slot the better chances of success).

1.3 footage that goes beyond the 2 minutes allowed is not admissible, and therefore will not be shown in your respective numbered slot  

Puppy and fun class guidance 

2.1 all submissions for a puppy a fun classes have no specific criteria other than the video must contain the animal being shown with up to a 2 minute clip and/or photograph to be judged during the show stream

Above all the goal of this show is to showcase the American pitbull terrier and it’s best light. No registry is required for you to compete in the show however, your dog should appear as a true American Pitbull terrier. This means that we are using the criteria listed by the ADBA prior basis of colors, size and attributes to identify the dog. At  Samurai Kennel’s we are aware the many dogs may have fallen out of the registry due to unfortunate events. However, all dogs entered would be great candidate to be registered with BBF registry or ICDR.
