Bully Nation Arrives 2011!!

BULLY NATION ARRIVES 2011! INTRODUCING THE NEW LORDS & LADIES AND AMBASSADORS & MODELS FOR BO & DEEMO!

If only politicians ran such clean good campaigns! That is what the Bullies and their parents just did! On January 30th the 3rd Annual Bully Baby Model search took place. What exactly is a Bully Baby Model Search? Bo & DeeMo is dedicated to promoting the nine Bully Breeds and each year the model search brings out Bullies who would like to represent their breed. The campaign was run on Facebook and Bully parents sent in videos (links provided) and postcards! But it is more than looking for the best Bully, a large part of whom is chosen is based upon the owners/handlers relationship with their Bully.

Some of the Bully’s were raised in the lap of luxury and all are now much loved “fur children, part of the family.” However once in awhile a Bully is chosen that has a “horrific story” to tell that helps Bully Breeds. Such is the story of Lady Jane (chosen 2011.) She came into the veterinarian hospital with a bullet to the head; her former owner chose to use her as a “canine Russian roulette” target. Suffice to say that Lady Jane has been rescued and her temperament is sweet, great manners with people and dogs and wags her tail like no other! A GREAT ENDING with a NEW beginning for Lady Jane and her family. As Owner Dee Mounts says, “This is another story of NOT THE PITBULL OR THE DOG...IT'S THE OWNER and Thankfully Michelle was there! BULLY PAWS UP as we are PROUD to have this family represent our PITBULLS for 2011!”

Ambassadors for Bo & DeeMo reign for one year.  Their position is vital as a positive representative of the company and their breed. Lords & Ladies also reign for one year and they are called upon to participate in red carpet events, print modeling, television appearances and boutique openings. Bully Models were also chosen and will be asked to represent their unique breed when more than one breed/bully is needed. Whether an Ambassador or Lord or Lady or Model, expect to see these Bully Breeds strut their stuff across Las Vegas and the World!

It is recommended that each Bully undergo unique challenging training by Police Officer Frank Sorrentino, a former K9 Officer for the LVMPD's K9 Unit of 11 years. He helps each Bully find their inner super model but more importantly helps them deal with the unique challenges of being in an environment where flashbulbs are popping, crowds are cheering and music is blaring! The Bully’s will be ready to meet the public on their first appearance which will take place on March 26th at the MJ's Bling & Bullies Fashion Show for Charity. www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=197729650242208

Attached is the video of what exactly and how “The Making of a Baby Bully Breed Ambassador/Lord/Lady/Model” was conducted! We hope you enjoy it as much as Bo & DeeMo and renowned pet photographer Arica Dorff of  Pet'ographique did making it! Also attached are photos of some of the wonderful lovely “Bullies of 2011.”

3rd Annual Bully Baby Model Search Wrap Up!!



 
WRAP UP OF ANNUAL 3rd BULLY BABY MODEL SEARCH

Las Vegas – On Sunday January 30th Bo & DeeMo continued in their quest to find the best of the Bully Breeds to represent their Couture lines at all events such as red carpet modeling, print ads, boutique openings, television appearances. Part of the model search is that each entree will be judged on confirmation, temperament and how well they handle the flash of cameras and the movements of a video camera. The Bully Breed is comprised of nine breeds and the Model Search brought out 100’s of owners who believe that their bully has the right stuff! Basic obedience is mandatory and trick training was well represented. There were dogs that rolled over, shook hands, and danced!
Renowned Pet Photographer Arica at Pet’ographique took pictures of the Bullys and the voting contest begins on Sunday February 6th at 12:00 AM PST and will end on Sunday February 13th at 11: 59 PST. Last year’s Favorite Titan received over 8,000 votes from his Hawaiian supporters and this was just on Facebook! Total online voting was approximately 70,000. This year Bo & DeeMo should help some of the Postal Services financial woes! Last year the model search generated over 2,000 postcards! The postcards were creative and charming! For more information on the voting process please visit:  http://boanddeemoitsabullything.blogspot.com/
The VIP Swag Bag was filled to the brim with items and generated comments such as “Loved the swag, wonderful goodies!!” and “I just wanted to give all of you thanks for the beautiful swag bags and the presentation as a whole. There were so many talented and beautiful bullies!”
