My bad - Intro

So after seeing another member intro themself, I realized I'm 50 posts in on this board and never introduced myself. Oops.

My name is Lindsay. I'm a St. Louis MO native, moved to Tulsa OK in August. (Still have family in St. Louis, so I go back and forth between the two constantly.) I've been around Pit Bulls since I was about 8 years old, as well as various other breeds. (Usually "macho" dog types: Rotties, Akitas, GSDs. My step-father liked a cool-looking dog to enhance his manliness.) Done some things I'm not proud of -- such as having manbiters and moonlighting as a BYB -- but I've learned from my experiences and try to use them as examples to help educate others.

I've got one dog right now. A 2-year-old rednose girl (predominantly Lar-San and whatever's behind that) from Matrix Kennels. I work her in weight pull, and she's being trained up for obedience and agility. I'll probably also show her in some fun classes, too, while I get a feel for conformation shows. I've only played around in UKC at this point, and hope to later compete in both UKC and ADBA. I recently became a member of the Green Country APBT Club, and am as active as I can be in fighting BSL. (Most especially the ban we're wrangling with here, but I'm constantly writing emails to reps in other cities and states where BSL pops up.)

So that's about it. Some of you I already know from other boards. (I'm on 8 now. Boards are like crack for me.) For folks in the OK/TX area, I'll probably see some of you out at the shows.

 

Welcome Lindsay

Your quite lucky to have gotten a dog from Matrix. Scott (I believe?) has an awesome breeding program, and his dogs are amazing.

 

Nice meeting ya.

 

Howdy! *waves* I've seen you from a few other boards as well. Are you going to the Fun show in Feb. then? If you are I'll see you there. I live in OKC, OK. I normally go to all the shows that Green Country and 89ers puts on.

 

Nice to see yah on here! Can't go wrong with "Matrix", huh?!!!

Nice having you. Glad for the "intro"!!!!

 

nice to meet ya,,,i think i know you from somewhere,,,

 

Welcome to the Pitbull Community!

 

Thanks for the welcome everybody!

GSDBulldog, Suki - Its very hard to get a dog from Scot, but I couldn't be happier. His dogs are something else.

Ghost - Yeah, you know me. My handle is the same on every board. ;-)

Flamingo - Heck yeah we'll be there. Probably the only chance my spayed UKC girl will get to play around in ADBA anytime soon. They've got a sanctioned show in May, too. I'll be working that one. And then, of course the Nationals.

ETA: Might as well share a pic or two of my girl.

 

Your pups a beauty! If you see my stop and say hi. Me and my boy are normally easy to spot. Just ask if it is Flamingo, Mingo, or Chels. lol Everyone normally calls me one of those. Can't wait for the May show either. Hopefully there won't be any "balls" problem this year.

 

Hi Lindsay, welcome to the forum.
