Parade of Titleholders

CH Absolutely Agape Cute As A Bug’s Ear DCAT TKN VSWB

At our recent Bichon specialty we were invited to enter the Parade of Titleholders category.  Since I’m proud that Junebug is the first dog I have owned who has titles before and after her name, I entered her.  The CH means she is a champion.  The DCAT is given because she has run the 100 yd. dash enough times, at a fast enough pace. TKN stands for trick dog novice, and VSWB is virtual scent work beginner.

I was busy reading the information about the seven dogs who entered the Parade, so Junebug’s best friend, Doug, walked her around the ring as she received applause from the crowd.
