Condone:
Inflected Form(s): con·doned ; con·don·ing
Etymology: Latin condonare to absolve, from com- + donare to give -- more at DONATION
: to pardon or overlook voluntarily ; especially : to treat as if trivial, harmless, or of no importance <condone>

Even if this group manages to start their own breed of "American bullys" they will still be pit bulls. Just like APBT, AMSTAFFS, STAFFIES, AB, ETC. We are all in the same boat when it comes to our rights to own this breed. From my understanding this money, in part will be used for educating and fighting BSL.
Before you can protect the standard you need to make sure their will be a standard. Mass is proposing a statewide ban and people within the breed are arguing over standard. Waste of energy IMO. Think they're having this argument in Ont?
Take the money and fight the good fight...even for the east westy British Bulldog wannabes.

Everyone on here can agree that those bullies are NOT pit bulls. Sure they might "look" like the public's opinion of pit bulls. But accepting money from the organizations who breed and promote them is not the way to educate people.
only the breeds on the WCBBA registry can compete in the conformation, weight pull and treadmill events. The breeds that can be registered for those events are: American bulldog, American Staffordshire terrier/American pit bull terrier, colored bull terrier, English bulldog, French bulldog, miniature bulldog, old English bulldog and Staffordshire bull terrier.
The $3 entry fees help pay for the event, and the proceeds from the raffle — $1 per ticket — is split between club operating costs and the Pacific Northwest Pit Bull Rescue.

Since some of you have nothing better to to than to watch and "take notes" on what im doing maybe you should stop and ASK me if im accepting any money.
Hummmm what a good though eh?
Last October the same people contacted me saying that they were having a bully event for Halloween. They said they were donating the proceeds to PNWPBR. NOTHING came in the mail and NOTHING will at this event either.
This group can do whatever they want to make themselves look better, people can get nosey and overly opinionated and get their panties in a wad about it.... whatever. I know no money will come from this and that has NOTHING to do with why im attending.
The fun part though is people who are actually respectful... they would get this clarification from me early on. People like you Yvette, and Vanella and Devin who have nothing better to do and follow me (yay for my ego! ) dont get any explanation or clarfication, espically since they have decided to start a stupid vandetta over a stupid forum. So sad for them and I have better things to do than deal with their childish antics to spew drama and guesses on my practices.
You may all forget but just because IM the one on forums doesnt mean IM the only one who has a say or is involved with PNWPBR. Talk about my ego all you want Vanella... but everything PNWPBR does is a group effort and something we discuss. This has nothing to do with my ego, its how a non-profit works (something Yvette knows nothing about so its funny that she would bring up a 501(c)3).
Anyways, continue.
Those of you who have valid POV, thank you and I DO appreciate your views.
Those of you that are being childish and trying to run my rescue from afar because they hold a grudge and are bored.... shoo shoo and find someone else to bug.
Thanks!

According to any breed specific legislation, those would be considered "pitbulls" and they'd be in the same boat as the rest of us . . .
However, I'll leave you all to your "internal" debate about "blood money."
