About Bubbles
Spitfire’s Tiny Bubbles; Spitfire is one word
that describes her personality. My introduction to the
Staffordshire bull terrier world was Bubbles. If I had only
been a more knowledgeable trainer when she was young, she
would have been world class. She has taught me so much about
dog training. I think she taught the whole team something
about dog training. As challenging as she was in the first
few years you could not ask for a better friend. There has
not been one thing that I have asked her to do that she did
not excel at ~ flyball, obedience, Schutzhund, weight
pulling, strong dog, most recently Dock diving.

In the
beginning Bubbles was difficult. I will be honest the first
year was unmemorable. She was a terror; I wont say that she
was disobedient. She just had it in her mind to do it her
way. I remember one of her “MANY” debuts, she ran down got
her ball notice the other box that also had a ball loaded.
Well, Bubbles was a little confused she decided to retrieve
the other ball too. Maddie from BiTP was nervous, strange
dog at her box. Not only was the dog at her box. Bubbles
thought it would be fun to see how fast Maddie little legs
could carry her back to daddy. I think Maddie ran a sub 4
back to dad. And then you have Bubbles running A-MUCK, yes
we have all witness Bubbles and her personal victory laps.
As she
matured she became the teams official secret weapon.
Bubbles’ screeching, squealing and yodeling on the start
line has unnerved many a dogs giving her team the
competitive edge. This competitive edge helped to bring her
team to division 1 for the fist time.
August
2004 Bubbles took some time off to enjoy a little maternity
time. She is a proud mother of 6, 4 girls and 2 boys. You
might see a few of her offspring in the near future.
Competing in flyball, agility or possible in the show ring.
In June
of 2005 Bubbles returned back to the flyball ring with the
same enthusiasm. In August 2005 Bubbles earned her ONYX
title. She is currently ranked 17th out of 129
SBT .
Bubbles’
has been an AWESOME ambassador for the Staffordshire bull
terrier breed. I feel our biggest accomplishment has been to
change a few minds about the breed and that isn’t easy to
do. Bubbles’ has made many friends in the dog sport
community. Most people know me as “Bubbles mom” ~ I couldn’t
be more proud. She is absolutely one of a kind ~ the best
kind.
Bubbles introduced me to a world of love,
loyalty, courage and sheer joy of living that I might have
missed without her. |
