The Beginning

I neither clever or witty. I am, however, painfully blunt and truthful, and so this blog will chronicle the adventures of Howie the American Pit Bull Terrier and his stereotypical Midwestern partner person in Obedience and Rally.


The Pit Bull
LO How Bizaare "Howie" was born on May 8, 2008 and lived the first 5 months of his life on farm in Lansing, MI. He is a purebred American Pit Bull Terrier, and while both of his parents have full pedigrees, he does not. He has his limited privilege registrations with the UKC, AKC (as an American Staffordshire Terrier), AADR, and the APDT. He does not fit the true breed standards for the UKC or AKC for either breed, and without his papers, he was neutered at the age of about 5 months old. This has resulted in a very, very cuddly, very smart, and very attentive obedience dog.

In addition to Rally & Obedience trials, Howie and I plan to get his Therapy Dog Certification as well as being in training as a Service Dog, on top of summer events and breed advocacy. Summer 2009 will be filled with many adventures!
