"Effie Jean" finished her 2022 show season UNDEFEATED for MOST WEIGHT PULLED DIV A! She is also still standing at NUMBER 3 in UKC TOP TEN out of a lovely list of Rats. To add to an outstanding year, she earned many new titles in conformation, weight pull and Rally! She is the epitome of beauty, brains and work ethic. ❤

Even though most of us consider our terriers to be members of our families, we need to remember that no matter how much we love them, they are still dogs, not furry little humans. They are beautiful, fascinating, intelligent, funny, irritating, independent, loyal, loving, entertaining, unique beings, but they are definitely NOT human. They are dogs. And they aren't just any type of dog either; they are TERRIERS. We need to understand and appreciate the similarities and differences between humans and dogs to have a positive relationship with our terriers. And we need to understand and appreciate the similarities and differences between terriers and other breeds of dog to teach them most effectively how to live in our modern world.

I'm a little late with the update, but a couple weekends ago we ventured to the APBTCoNE UKC show. It was super cold and pouring rain all day for this outdoor show.

Dez and Obi did phenomenal in weight pull despite the weather! Dez maxed out in 10 seconds, pulling 290 lbs (22.3%) and earning First Place in the 20 lbs A class and winning another Most Weight Pulled Veteran!

Obi really dug in and worked his butt off! He was just shy of maxing out, but still earned First Place in the 30 lbs B class and another 20 points towards his Excellent title! He pulled 650 lbs, which was 27.08%, less than 1% needed to max out. I can truly say he never quit on me despite being a hard pull. He gave his all every time he went in the chute and stayed nice and straight the entire time. I couldn't ask for better work ethic!

Effie was the only one in the breed ring, but it was great practice and she's really maturing nicely. She ultimately earned a Group 3 and 4! Not too shabby for a silly puppeh!
