Silver Bay
Thank you to all of the exhibitors, we appreciate each and every one of your entries. (We even had an entry from New York this year and she’s going home with a Winners chair! We’re thinking that may be the furthest anyone has come to our shows.) Mrs Aspey had this to say: “Rosie, Please share with your club how very much we enjoyed judging your shows. The hospitality was great, and your dogs! They were wonderful - such a depth of quality. It's always easier to judge good dogs - you simply can't go wrong!”
A Big Thank You to all the family members and friends of the exhibitors who come along and help out ringside and cheer and clap. We know many of you travel a long distance to get to us, sometimes in treacherous weather. And we know San Diego is an awfully expensive place to visit. But this year we did give you sunshine! We hope you have all had safe travels home!
A Huge Thank You to our judges in order of appearance:
Michael Goddard (Godd’s Bulldogs), you are so kind and you make sweeps really fun. Thank you for making the trip down from Reno, Nevada.
Mr. Stanley Aspey, (Aspey Bulldogs) Savannah, Missouri. Your little jokes and comments made the show fun for everyone. And your winners were so thankful you went above and beyond to come back at the crack of dawn the following day for pictures.
Shawna Arroyo (Sublime Bulldogs) from Yuma, Arizona, we love watching you judge. You are so enthusiastic and encouraging to the Juniors! Your enthusiasm is contagious.
Mrs.Sandra Aspey (Aspey Bulldogs) Savannah, Missouri. Thank you for making the show ring such a pleasant atmosphere for all the exhibitors. We’ve had so many compliments.
Ms. Cathy Eke (Only Bulldogs) Knightstown, Indiana. What can we say? The exhibitors were so excited to see you on our Judges Panel! Thank you!
All of you traveled a long way to get to us whether it was by vehicle or plane. We appreciate all of you so much. We had so many compliments on our shows this year! More so than any past year I can remember. Thank you for making it special for everyone in your ring. And Thank You for being so flexible and easy to work with.
Julie and John at Jack Bradshaw, thank you for your patience with our questions and for making these shows special and smooth. The PL and Catalog are beautiful.
Michelle Mixon and all the Silver Bay Kennel Club members - you are always so easy to work with. We love partnering with your club. We know your days are long, but you always have a smile for us and you’re always checking on us. Erin Matthews, Thank you for providing us with one of your very best Ring Stewards, Mr. Lafayette McGowan, super efficient but still always greeting the exhibitors with patience and kindness. He “gets us”.
Thank you to our official photographer, Sandra Martinez. You do so much to help us promote our shows. We really do appreciate your hard work. This year you returned at the crack of dawn to take photos with the previous day’s judge! Thank you for going above and beyond!
Okay here it goes…
Thank you to Amber Ferriera Vallejo and her family for providing and decorating beautiful coolers for prizes and judges’ gifts, setting up and running the raffles, amazing fundraising, setting up and running hospitality, making great chili! Embellishing and blinging! Sunday donuts! I know there’s more - we’re certainly missing something.
Rosie Verdugo, Thank You for embroidering prizes and starting hospitality in the mornings.
Shawna Arroyo Thank You for providing the gorgeous leads as Juniors prizes and BOW prizes! We’ve already had great feedback on them. Thank you for providing the very nice quality toys for placement prizes too.
Betty Buelteman we love your stunning, original cutting boards, metalwork Spoiled Bulldog and the speaker tumblers for the Juniors. People from other clubs were eyeing those cutting boards - you may get some order requests.
Laurie Nack Thank You for making and ironing the Bulldogs on all those microfiber towels for placement prizes.
Our beautiful Rosettes are by Betty Fisher.
Abbie Arroyo and Stewart Tulledge we appreciate all your help behind the scenes. Thank you so much for saying yes to just about any task we needed. It doesn’t go unnoticed! Stewart, thank you for washing and hauling the trailer in and out and setting up and tearing down, for putting up with piles of paperwork and prizes in the house, the garage, and everywhere in between. We do appreciate you!
Sabrina Givans, thank you for all of your assistance with hospitality, raffles and judge’s transportation at your very first show. We’re afraid you were baptized by fire!
Derek Rasmussen, thank you for all your help getting organized pre-show and for general whatever-we-needed at the show.
Laurie Nack, the Bulldog Kissing Booth is always a Huge Hit at the Silver Bay Dog Expo (Meet the Breeds). Thank you for setting up and tearing down the booth. This year you did it while balancing a brand new Junior Exhibitor and a family wedding Saturday! Great assistance from Sabrina with Abby; Patricia with Charlotte and Tosser; Celina, Ryan, Nixon and Nolan with Gertie; Jesse and Jenny with Isla and Phoebe; and Laurie and Hannah with Charlotte and Tosser. The booth was always swamped. Who doesn’t love some Bulldog Kisses?! And we throw in Bulldog Education too.
David Hidalgo and Marcel Daignault for Lucy Pet Products, Thank You so much for arranging the Lucy Pet Food and Treats that we had for prizes and goodie bags! The exhibitors loved them!! Passersby were eyeing the banner and those prize baskets, wondering where we got them! Hope we sent you some new business.
Thank you to all of the bulldoggers and enthusiasts who came out to support our shows even though you weren’t exhibiting. Many of you drove for hours. That really means a lot to us.
We’ve surely missed someone. We will remember as soon as we push post. If we’ve forgotten you it’s because our brains aren’t quite in full gear yet. Thank you again to everyone who attended and helped make our 2025 BCSDC Specialty Shows Weekend a success!
