National Specialty Winners

UABA

UKC Premier Nationals ● June 2026

About The National Specialty

The UABA National Specialty is a UKC sanctioned event for the American Bully designed to bring together exhibitors, breeders, and enthusiasts from across the continent to celebrate and evaluate the breed at the highest level.

Unlike an all breed show where many breeds compete for attention, a Specialty says "Let's make today only about the American Bully". This is where the breed takes center stage.

A specialty is designed to highlight and preserve the breed standard, encourage quality breeding and responsible ownership, recognize dogs that exemplify true breed type and soundness, bring the community together to share knowledge with a platform for education and mentorship, promote the breed in a way that aligns with its true purpose as a companion breed, and encourage exhibitors to strive for consistency, soundness, and temperament.

A National Specialty win carries a unique level of prestige and recognition.

Congratulations to all exhibitors and thank you for supporting the breed and the club!

Specialty Judge

The UABA was honored to have Michelle Blackowl officiate the 2026 National Specialty. As a longtime advocate of the American Bully breed, Michelle has been involved since the early stages of the breed's development and is highly respected as both a breeder and judge. Her wealth of knowledge and unwavering commitment to the breed were evident throughout the event.
