HOUSTON – Houston goes to the dogs! In a great way…
Dog lovers around the world will gather at the George R. Brown Convention Center this Saturday, December 7, for the highly anticipated American Bully Kennel Club (ABKC) Nationals. As Houstonians continue to embrace their love for dogs, this event showcases the agility and beauty of several and aims to change the narrative surrounding bull breeds, which are often misrepresented in public perception.
Before the event, Houston Life’s Melanie Camp spoke with Chris “Bully The Kid” Bennett, ABKC’s chief spokesperson and a champion dog handler, to gather some insights on selecting the perfect dog to fit any family’s lifestyle. Bennett emphasizes the importance of understanding a dog’s temperament and energy level to find the best match. Learn more in the video above.
The ABKC’s mission is to maintain the positive recognition of bull breeds, highlighting their qualities as affectionate companions and ultimate pets. To inspire appreciation and understanding for these dogs, the organization strives to present them in a true light that counters negative stereotypes. Attending the Nationals is a family-friendly affair. Tickets are available at the door for just $20, and children under 12 are free.

This year’s event highlights an impressive array of top dogs from around the world, including champions from Colombia, Argentina, Europe and beyond. This year’s Nationals are also particularly special as it marks the 20th anniversary of the ABKC. To commemorate this milestone, exhibitors and attendants will wear their best Roaring Twenties attire, adding a touch of glamor and nostalgia to the event.
The event focuses on the competition and offers a behind-the-scenes look at what many call “the ultimate dog show experience.” Participants and spectators can celebrate the strong bond between humans and their canine companions. As the ABKC grows, the hope remains to promote a deeper understanding and appreciation of bull breeds so that they are recognized not only as show dogs, but also as loving family members.
Expect a day full of excitement, camaraderie and lots of cute dogs!
