Jesus Garcia Rodriguez, it’s an honor to welcome you to the team and I look forward to having you in the ring.

Jesus Garcia Rodriguez:

Breeder of American Staffordshire Terrier and Professional Handler since 2005. My passion for the world of cynophilia comes from a very young age, more than 17 years ago l acquired my first Amstaff for show, managing to win the Championship of Spain and Portugal, at a time when the breed was booming, so reaching that goal was very complicated. In my beginnings in the world of dog shows, I dedicated the first years to learn from the best breeders in Europe, I traveled to the most important events and exhibited various specimens, to acquire the maximum of knowledge. After several years, in 2011 I started my career as a breeder, with the affix River-Side Staff. Throughout this time, we have achieved a very familiar breeding of Amstaff, based on health, character, and beauty. Breeding specimens with our affix that have achieved the title of Champions and Multi-champions both in Europe and in the United States.

It should be noted:

-World Winner in Italy 2015 in males.

-Vice World Winner in Italy 2015 in females.

Best in show Amstaff Major 2016 (Most important American Staffordshire Terrier event at European level).

-Vice World Winner in Austria 2019 in females.

Focusing on the AMERICAN BULLY,

I discovered this wonderful breed with my partner and friend Sergio Dufort, where I was able to participate in the first ABKC show in Spain in 2008. Since that time, I have been fortunate to be able to enjoy and attend each show of this great Registry, being able to present great specimens such as:

– GR CH. Trueblood the Last Don.

-GR CH. Biq Aron.

-GR CH. Hispano Bulls Apolo.

– CH. Demon Boy.

Getting Champion and Grand Champion titles and being able to achieve multiple BEST IN SHOW.

During all these years I have worked as a Handler and I have also taught Handling seminars, but, most importantly, I have continued to train and expand my knowledge with various courses: – Genetics Courses. – Morphology Courses. – Reproduction Courses. After 17 years in cynophilia, the time has come to go one step further, the time to be able to contribute my knowledge from another perspective, being able to help and for this I would be honored to be part of your team of ABKC judges.

Welcome to the team!

Honorable ABKC Judge Jamie Villagomez

I was born into the dog show world, my mother was a dog breeder, handler, and trainer for German Shepherds. When I was 3 years old, I went to my Mom and said, “Me can do it”, meaning I could show dogs just like her, and I did, and I haven’t stopped. At the age of 10 years old I started to apprentice under Professional Handlers Mike and Shannon Stone. I worked for them for 5 years caring for up to 20 dogs. I did grooming, handling and assisted at dog shows. I have also apprenticed under Bill and Taffy McFadden and Bruce Schultz, all top AKC professional handlers.

At 10 years old I also started showing in Jr. Showmanship. I really enjoyed traveling around the country showing my dog and competing against kids my own age. I quickly ranked in the top 20 Jr. Handlers in AKC, there are thousands of kids all over the country and I was in the top 20. I was extremely proud of this accomplishment. As I got older, I showed in and won many invitational shows and accrued enough points to show at the Westminster Dog show in 1995. I also won the German Shepherd Nationals 2 years in a row for the years 1996 &1997.

In 1997 I quit showing in Jr. Showmanship and became a professional handler and breeder of top German Shepherds. I have bred, trained, and shown multiple National winners in the USA and Canada.

I have several ROM animals – Register of Merit – you receive this title when your animal has produced several champions.

I have bred well over 100 AKC German Shepherd Champions.

I have participated and helped teach at many handling seminars at the AKC GSD Nationals.

I started in Bullies in 2011, I found a local dog show and asked people if I could show their dog. I became hooked and fell in love with the breed. I have finished many ABKC dogs, won numerous Best in Shows and trained several top dogs of multiple breeds.

I have successfully won in ABKC with my dog GCH Ramos Tuff Cookie. At 6 months old she won her first Best in Show, it was her first show and only her 2nd time ever in a ring. She became a champion at 1 years old at the 2015 ABKC Nationals and won best over classic. I believe I have proven that a female Classic can win and compete with #1 dogs.

I love the Bull breed and feel I’m knowledgeable in dog structure and movement. I believe I would be a great asset to the bully community by judging the bull breed, following the breed standard and being true to the written standard. I believe that with my experience I will conduct proper ring procedure and judge with professionalism. The bull breed has so much potential to grow and I really want to become a part of the movement.
