Evolution Boxers & Mini Bulls

NEW CHAMPION!!!

Bullistix Double Take-N-Evolution X Evolution's Believe It Or Not

WE HAVE A NEW HOME BRED CHAMPION! October 12-14th, 2007 at the Mini Bull Terrier Nationals in Gettysburg, Howie won the five points that he needed to finish his championship this last weekend... he is now AKC CH Evolution’s Mendellian Mayhem, AOM! Friday morning at the National Specialty, Howie took Reserve WD under Judge Mark Phillips. On Friday night at the Van Hildrukusen Trophy Show, Howie was one of four colored dogs (and the only non-champion boy) out of a large and beautiful class entry to make Judge Gregory Anderson’s cut!

During the Parent Club Specialty Show I on Saturday, Howie took Winners Dog for a 3-point major under Judge Lynne M. Myall. THEN during the Parent Club Specialty Show II on Sunday, Howie took Winners Dog again under Judge Phyllis McCombie, earning the final 2 points that he needed to finish!

In the end, Howie finished with 3 three point majors, 2 two point wins, and two singles! He also took two best of breed wins – both over group-winning specials – along the way. We are so proud of Howie and to his owner Kathleen Smith (Patronus Kennel) for being such a great friend and companion to Howie and for taking him to the top. He was our pick of the litter and we really knew he was something special right from the start. Howie finished his Championship in only six shows! And what a great way to finish, at nationals! This is the fourth Champion for our Ripley, Evolutions Beleive It Or Not and the FIRST Champion for our Duey, Bullistix Double Take-N-Evolution.

Here is my "soon-to-be infamous" account of Howie's antics at Nationals...aptly titled "Mayhem at Nationals"!

Howie is a typical mini bull: very clownish. He showed as well as usual during the day on Friday, but Friday night was a different story. We showed in the Van Hildrukhusen Trophy Show, which is for dogs bred and whelped on American soil, and there was a very large (for mini’s) entry of dogs. Howie is used to showing in classes with a handful of dogs, where things move very quickly. The judge was also making use of the large show ring and taking his time evaluating the dogs in front of him, and apparently Howie decided that big classes are tiresome. I was trying to keep him stacked nicely, just in case the judge happened to glance our way, when I heard Howie groan. I looked down just in time to see him give me a dirty look, roll his eyes at me, and flop to the ground. Within seconds he was flat on his back, all four legs sticking straight up in the air, then rolling onto his side and “playing dead”. Needless to say, the onlookers thought this was very amusing, and much laughter accompanied Howie’s little display of boredom.

Those of us who live with minis know that you never laugh at their antics unless you want to see them repeat the same behavior over and over… so you can guess how the rest of the weekend went! I spent the remainder of our ring time on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday “convincing” Howie to stay upright whenever he grew weary with the proceedings. Of course, on both Saturday and Sunday - after Howie won Winners Dog and while we were waiting for the judges to choose their Reserves – Howie rolled over by the first place marker and demanded a belly rub...which he received for a job well done!

By Sunday, Howie decided that my usual bag of tricks (food, treats, and squeaky toys) weren’t enough to keep his interest. We were due in the ring in any minute, and I was frantically trying to figure out how I was going to keep him upright and looking his best. I got my answer when I crumpled up the small cup that my drink was in. The sound of the plastic crinkling perked Howie right up, and I had a moment of inspiration. Howie, the cup and I made it into the ring right on time. I must admit, the sight of a plastic cup being used for bait certainly amused the crowd, but it worked! And so Howie took Winners Dog and finished his championship while baiting for a disposable plastic drink cup! Cheers to you Howie!

"Vegas"

"Vegas" is our most recent Champion from 2006! She finished with her two final points in Black Foot, Idaho June 17-18th 2006. Vegas has a wonderful, loving disposition, she is a fine example of the Mini, in that she is so tiny (13 1/2 inches tall) and full of energy. She has a great head, a booming body and a super temperment to boot! She is a blast to show and takes her job very seriously.

"Tootie"

Tootie now lives in California with Jessica and Joe Croninger (Madhouse Kennel). She is quite the little show girl with many Best of Breeds and Specialty wins. She has always been expertly handled by either Joe or Jessica at the end of the lead! We are so grateful to the Croningers for taking on Tootie and her dynamic personality, and for putting the time and energy into making her a great show star. Tootie Ranked #9 in the Nation in 2006 and was invited to the Eukanuba Challenge in Long Beach, CA. along with her litter-brother Carlos. She showed like a star! Tootie had her first litter in the fall of 2007! Fergie is one of her pups!

We are so proud of these three kids from our very first litter of Mini Bull Terriers! They all finished their AKC Championships at one year old and all three of them ranked in the top 25 for 2006! Two of them went on to the top ten and were invited to the 2006 Eukanuba challenge! This picture was taken with all three of them together at that great event! What a great and unforgetable year!
