OUR FRONT COVER
Jennifer Rau with Black Velvet’s Scooby-Doo
Photo by MissGlassworks
With the click of a button, MissGlassworks captured beauty, strength, and
loyalty. Her photo reminds me of something you’d see on the cover of Time
Magazine; lucky for us, her photo is on the cover of the APBT Gazette. Not
only is it visually stunning, it illustrates the incredible bond that so many
owners have with their APBT.
Jennifer Rau is the president of the Working Dog Association in Germany,
an ADBA sanctioned club; she is a great advocate for the breed. Show season is
upon us so please support your local ADBA sanctioned clubs - worldwide!
There are a lot of exciting and informative articles in this issue, as well as
some fun-loving pictures with our customers beloved APBT’s!
We are always looking for content so if you’d like to be considered for
publication in the APBT Gazette, have a suggestion for something you’d like to
read, or have high quality photos that you would like to share, feel free to email
me [email protected]
Until next issue...
