Chewie's new title - UWP

Chewie did another weight pull the weekend of March 14-15. This one was sponsored by the UKC (United Kennel Club). It is a very performance loving group, but they also do shows. They do obedience, agility, coon hunts, hunting tests and more as well.

We had done one other UKC pull weekend last summer. They are like AKC and other performance venues for their titling - you need 3 qualifying scores to title. For weight pulls, a qualifying pull is 8 times the dog's weight. So, we just needed one more qualifying pull.

Saturday wasn't his best, but he still easily qualified. He pulled 980#, which is 13 times his weight (75#). On Sunday he had his game on! and he pulled 1250#, which is 16.7 times his weight.

They had a photographer there, and we got some pictures:
Awards - 2 Qualifying ribbons and one 3rd place

And a couple I took of friends - this was both their dogs 1st time pulling:

Donna and her little Toy Fox Terrier , Guinness:

Julie and her foster boy, Job (like in the bible):

We all had a great time. Some people we hadn't seen all winter. Also, we had a super potluck as usual and thoroughly stuffed ourselves. :D

I think they are distantly related. But, they are both Donna's - the one pictured in the pink shirt with Guinness. :D
