A Different Kind of
Show Life
It was a
natural progression to our first show Pug. We're artists, we
appreciate balanced form, and we compete in the equivalent of
conformation classes with our sculptures. I see dog showing as
an opportunity to take weekend road trips with our Pugs, get our
Little Man well socialized, and visit with friends... and help
get the word out about our region's rescue, MAPR. There are some
beautiful Pugs to be seen at the shows, and behind each Pug is
at least one devoted person who has put everything into
making it the healthiest, happiest, most mannerly Pug possible.

Little Man's
Third Match 9/12-13/09
First &
second pointed shows
LM gave his best performance to date on the table (but his
handler didn't) on Saturday.
On Sunday, LM was 1st Puppy Dogs 6-9 months and went Reserve Winner's
Dog to a mature, filled-out dog. His handler got some tips to improve! |

Little Man's First Puppy Match 5/23/09


Everyone has to
start somewhere. He was second in his class, and a whirlwind of Pug
over-exuberance!

Little Man's First Trade Show 5/16/09

A great
socialization exercise for puppies is a visit to a convention: plenty of
people to meet, wheelchairs to investigate, odors to sniff, and strange
costumes to see. Our Man was a model citizen and learned that things
that roll are not scary.

Li and
Felix Silla. Li weighs 12 lbs and is just the right scale
for Felix. He sure wanted to take her home!

Li flopped on her
daddy, visiting with
Dick Warlock. |
Li is not the dog in MIB I and II... though she
could be in a movie!

Li with an
original from the film, Ed Wood. She wants to
know why they cast Chihuahuas instead of pugs. |
