Lead In!


It's official! The Board of Trustees of TTL has approved the following:

One-time emergency assistance to those who have suffered a material loss due to fire, flood,  accident  or natural disaster, to a maximum of $5,000.00

As Mother Nature seems to be doling out more than her fair share of violence, hopefully TTL will now be able to assist those affected.


Everyone knows a tennis ball is a Bully's best friend. Well, the Olympic KC show committee (Heidi Gervais and Tim Upkes) came up with a "fetch" idea for TTL. 200 tennis balls were numbered and sold to benefit TTL for a chance to win a huge basket filled with dog show goodies donated by vendors. Luke Baggenstos's famous retired 
Minibull "Kid" had the task of fetching the winning ball. Congrats to winner Chris Lyden. See Diana Han's pictures below - and a video!

And speaking of "Bullies," late-breaking news from Santa Barbara KC is that Nancy Shaw was the lucky winner of the Impact Crate raffle, donated by Bully Aficionado, Ed Thomason.

Amy Green is busy rounding up goodies for the annual Cake The Lead Somerset/Westchester weekend. Scroll down for more info on how you can contribute. After all, those calories are for a worthy cause!


Read On, Lead On, and support our fellow dog show friends in need. 


Best to all,
