This year , I ’ ve been fortunate to travel to a handful of shows to either judge or assist in judging Top Dog Athletic Events . I was also honored to be the overall Top Dog Athletic Event judge this year for the 2022 ADBA Nationals , assisted by Tyler Bullock and Adam Bullock . It was the first time we ’ ve hosted the Nationals in Utah since the 2009 ADBA 100 Year Birthday Bash . That feels like it was yesterday ...
One of my favorite things about this job is being able to meet everyone , face to face , whether it ’ s in our back yard - here in Utah - or when I am out and about , traveling . I feel it helps me do a better job for YOU - our customer , and to me , that is something I pride myself on . Plus , I ’ ve enjoyed having my youngest daughter , Alyx , along for the ride . She is a great assistant , and co-pilot !
For 2023 , I am hoping to finally travel to Canada to judge an event for them . “ Oh Canada ...” That one is for you , Meghan , eh ! :) I ’ m also manifesting being able to travel to Europe next year so I will be able to witness their sanctioned events firsthand . Not only can I help mentor but I will also be able to learn from them . Send those positive vibes out and let ’ s make it happen !
I ’ m sharing a photo I took while I was in Colorado earlier this year . I stopped by the Bulldogs of the Rockies event and met Sikkim and his little buddy , Ace !
See , THIS is what it ’ s all about . No matter who we are or where we ’ re from , the one thing that connects all of us is our love for the APBT breed and that , my friends , is a beautiful thing . Enjoy the magazine !
Heather DeVito
P . S . The highlight of my year was having everyone sing Happy Birthday to me under the stars in Oregon at the Beaver State APBTC event . Thank you , bulldog family !
