We've
bred over
40 CHAMPIONS
under the kennel prefix, Tea-D's, and our dogs have been
shown and finished not only in the good ole USA, but also Mexico and Canada. Unfortunately,
we failed to anticipate that the success of our show dogs registered with
the Tea-D's prefix would induce other breeders and owners
to begin using "our prefix" in the registered names of "their
dogs" although their dogs were not bred by Tea-D-Bet.
Because
we could not undo that which was already done, our solution to this
dilemma was to apply for a registered kennel name with the American Kennel
Club. That would
be the only means to secure our kennel designator from breech in the
future. Rather
than risk further confusion regarding "Tea-D's"
named dogs that were actually bred by us and those that were not, we decided
it was in our best interest to completely change our Kennel Name, and
so we have.
Over
the years, our involvement in purebred dogs has decidedly been that of
the "bully" persuasion, and frankly we are as stubborn
and set in our ways as any "bully" ever was, so we decided our
newly registered kennel name should reflect both our canine passion for
those wonderful "bull breeds" and our own tenacious personalities,
so our new kennel name had to be "BULLISTIK".
And
speaking of BULLISTIK, we'd like to thank and congratulate Melissa Hagerstrand
and her main man, "Tank" aka Ch. Bullistik's Little Sherman,
for becoming the very first French Bulldog to achieve his AKC Championship
title under the BULLISTIK prefix.
Although
Frenchies have been underfoot in this household since January of 1991,
we admire all of the "bull breeds" and have always had
at least ONE BIG DOG in the family, and often TWO bruisers that roamed
the house and kept all of us safe and protected.
Lets
face it, Frogs have not one "protective bone" in their bodies,
well aside from protecting their food bowl, or favorite chew toy from
another toad. The majority of them will invite the robbers in, give them the combination
to the safe, help them load up the gems, and then make every attempt to
hop into the getaway car, just cause they hate to be left out of things,
and what the hell..............a RIDE's A RIDE!
The
big brute to the right is PERCY, and although he adores
all of his FrogDog buddies, and is as sweet as the day is long, this guy
has enough common sense to know who the good guys are and who aren't.
Those that aren't, don't get invited in and if they should dare attempt
to sneak in un-announced, GOD HELP EM!
Although
Percy was born in Canada, he is a diehard Texan, and knows how to PROTECT
and SERVE. He is truly the ruler of his kingdom and makes no bones about
it. His name is "PURSUIT of JUSTICE"........need
I say more?
