At the ripe young age of 14 months, little Doodle Bug, Dupers, Doolster, Mr. Doodle, little Pookie Pie - is an AKC Champion! I had soooo much fun showing the little critter and put all but the last major on him in 8 months of showing - - - Then "the expert" stepped in at the NKC shows just to make sure he finished . . . thanks so much to my friend Lori McClain - you're the best! You see, there was a beautiful Boston entered that Lori had taken a Group 1 with previously -- and when she asked me if she could show Dooley I was all over that! Figured I'd better cut my chances of missing out on that last major - - - my gut feeling was right and here's our Happy Day Photo -Thanks, Lori ! !
It's on to the Breed ring for a few shows to see how he does there - he has passed all of his health testing, eye, ear and patella AND thanks to his Aunt Kathy Hulstein, we know he has lots of "swimmers" :-) The future is bright for this little star but even if it wasn't the show career of a life time making him shine, we would not love him any less if he was "just" our little lap dog. We are lucky that he loves to be both . . .
