What is a Title?
A Title is a tribute to the dog that bears it, a way to honour the dog, an ultimate memorial. It will remain
in the record and in the memory for about as long as anything in this world can remain. Few humans will
do as well or better in that regard. And though the dog himself doesn't know or care that his
achievements have been noticed, a Title says many things in the world of humans, where such things
count.
A Title says your dog was intelligent, adaptable, and good-natured. It says that your dog loved YOU
enough to do the things that please you, however crazy they may have sometimes seemed. And a Title
says that you loved your dog, that you loved to spend time with him because he was a good dog, and
that you believed in him enough to give him yet another chance when he failed, and that in the end
your faith was justified.
A Title proves that your dog inspired you to have the special relationship enjoyed by so few; that in a
world of disposable creatures, this dog with a Title was greatly loved, and loved greatly in return. And
when that dear short life is over, the Title remains as a memorial of the finest kind, the best you can
give to a deserving friend, volumes of praise in one small set of initials before or after the name.
A Title is nothing less than love and respect, given and recieved permanently.
