Why Title A Dog?
“Not just a brag, not just a stepping stone to a
higher title, not just an adjunct to competitive scores, a title is a tribute
to the dog that bears it, a way to honor the dog, an ultimate memorial. It will
remain in record and in memory for as long as anything in this world can
remain. Few humans will do as well or better in that regard.
And though the dog itself doesn’t know or care that
its achievements have been noted, a title says many things in the world of
humans, where such things count.
A title says your dog was intelligent and adaptable,
and good-natured. It says that your dog loved you enough to do the things that
please you, however crazy they may have sometimes seemed.
And a title says that you loved your dog, that you
loved to spend time with it because it was a good dog, that you believed in it
enough to give it yet another chance when it failed, and that, in the end, your
faith was justified.
A title proves that your dog inspired you to that
special relationship enjoyed by so few; that in a world of disposable
creatures, this dog with a title was greatly loved, and loved greatly in
return.
And when that dear short life is over, the title remains as a memorial of the finest kind, the best you can give to a deserving friend, volumes of pride in one small set of initials after [and/or before] the name.
A title earned is nothing less than love and respect,
given and received, and permanently recorded.”
