Eukanuba had the great opportunity to sponsor the Razor’s Edge 20^th Anniversary Dog show on Saturday, February 27^th in Orlando, Florida.  The show was also sponsored by The American Bully Kennel Club, Atomic Dogg Magazine and Animal Planet.  One of our employees attended the event.  Read more to hear about his experience and an overview of the American Bully Breed……

This dog show was unlike any other dog show I’ve ever attended.  This family friendly event featured the nation’s top American Bully’s and kennels.  From breeders to spectators, the energy and passion was electric the entire day. Eukanuba was well represented by home office employees and field representatives. We helped educate the bully community on Eukanuba’s premium nutritional ingredients, science and benefits.

This event showcased the top American Bully’s, but more importantly it helped educate the public on why the American Bully is such an impressive breed.  Regardless of their heritage, we believe that all dogs deserve premium nutrition. And like dog enthusiasts, Eukanuba celebrated the unique features, character and magnificence of the American Bully. Participating in this fantastic event, I can say the Eukanuba Bully Team accomplished our mission. We all had a part of enhancing the well-being of the American Bully, and appreciated the American Bully Kennel Club’s commitment to change the perception of the breed and its owners! 

Breed Overview 

The American Bully was established 20 years ago for the purpose of creating the ultimate family companion. The American bully was created through years of selective breeding by combining the desired traits of the American Pit Bull Terrier and the American Staffordshire Terrier. The American Bully possesses the positive characteristics such as: loyalty, stability with humans, and other impressive physical attributes while the negative traits of dog aggression and gameness have been bred out as the breed does not have a future purpose for those traits. Eukanuba is proud to partner with the American Bully Kennel Club to promote the benefits and special character of this breed.

Special thanks to the Eukanuba Bully Team and the entire Bully community for making this event so memorable!
