WAG’s Dog of the Month - June
🌸 Lulu 🌸
Lulu is approximately 5–6 years old and is what I like to call a Papillon x Foxy, although a DNA test has suggested she’s actually mostly Chihuahua with some Spaniel and Terrier mixed in.
Lulu is full of personality and has a few funny quirks. Most notably, she refuses to use a bed the right way up. Every bed must be flipped over, and if there are two beds available she’ll often flip one on top of the other and crawl in between them when she’s feeling a little peopled out. She also loves paddle boarding and likes to lean over the front of the board to “help” paddle.
Our agility journey together hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing! As my first agility dog, Lulu has taught me a lot about patience, persistence, and celebrating the small wins. This year has been especially rewarding. After years of hard work, setbacks, and more disqualifications than I could count, Lulu earned her first clear round in January. More recently, she followed that up with her second clear round and her very first ribbon, which somehow ended up being a first place. Those moments meant far more than the results themselves; they were proof that all the persistence, trust, and little wins along the way were worth it.
Looking ahead, my goal for Lulu is simply to keep building on the progress we’ve made, stay consistent, and continue having fun together. More than anything, I’m proud of the partnership we’ve built and how far she’s come.
