*** Chubbs UD!!! ***


Hey EVeRyBuLLy! My SWiNgiN' MiNi-ME and I have got an ANNOUNCEMENT to make!

Ahem. After many years of intense study and painstaking effort, I have finally attained the coveted status of AKC UTILITY DOG, proving once and for all, to all DoGDoM and their assorted PeOpLeS, that I have mastered the highest level of obedience exercises.

Can't you just see the AwE-iNsPiRiNG iNTeLLeCT & BReAThTaKiNG TaLeNT oozing from my prodigious pores?!!

That brings me to my crafty little caricature here...Mom just presented me with this piece that she commissioned especially for this day from the EsTeEMeD ArTiSTe--WeNdY of BOoGeRViLLe. Mom thought this would be a fitting symbol of my RE-TiRE-MeNT from the show ring. (It DOES look pretty fun, doesn't it?)

Hmmm. I guess it makes perfect sense, because I've been TiReD before and I'm TiReD aGAiN...so, that would make me RE-TiRed, right?!!

I know it can be intimidating when a BuLLy adds all those iMpoRtaNt-SoUNdiNG letters to their names. And now with my BiG oL' name being "International CHAMPION Beefeater's Ode To Joy of SBK-with a CD-a CDX-an RN-topped off with an RA-followed by an RE-and now with the COuP D'eTaT of the Illusive-and-Illustrious-***UD***, capping it all off, you probably think I won't speak to the likes of you down there...But PsSHaWWw!

...I'm still the same Chubbs you've always known me to be. EVeRyBuLLY-N-EVeRyBuDDy's BeSteST FRiENd. So, be sure to come on by for a liver treat, a swim in da pool or a swing on my TiRE--anytime!


 

And, with that I bid adieu to a fruitful ca-ReAR in obedience...just in time to enjoy those DoG DaYs of SuMMeR ahead!

PS--this accomplishment now makes Chubbs eligible for induction into the BCA Companion Events Hall of Fame where she'll join her Great-Aunt Gracie!

Well, that probably covers it! LOL!

From someone who appreciates the work! And you know that in a couple more years I'm gonna be kicking your butt to get out there with Picabo, too! :) Go have fun!

Thanks Shelley!

Have you done any obedience or other performance with your bullies?

Congrats Cheryl & Chubbs

So proud of you & so happy for you.  Utility Dog titles are few and far between in our breed...an accomplishment to truly cherish.

Thanks Bea...

I know there are several with other breeds in my dog club who've been trying for their UDs and haven't accomplished it yet either. One lady teaches competitive OB classes and has been showing her Giant Schnauzer almost as long as I have Chubbs and don't think she even has one leg yet. So many factors can rob you of a qualifying score at this level :) So glad I can let my tired gal retire in all of her glory now!

Thanks Vicky...

I would have asked the bulldog gang to come cheer us on, but they had our breed & utility A scheduled at the exact same time!

You know what this means now, don't you?

Time for the younguns to get out there and pick up the baton (...or dumbbell as the case may be! ;)
