  • Think everyone has dog crates in their living rooms.
  • Have messy houses but their kennels are spotless.
  • Can always find a catalogue or pedigree, but have no idea where their marriage certificate is.

  • Drive either a truck, van or station wagon, never a sports car.
  • Can never be reached on weekends, they’re at a dog show.
  • Will drive 500kms, spend $100.00 on petrol, $100.00 on a motel and $150.00 on food, so they can bring home a $2.00 ribbon and a $6.00 trophy.
  • Can get up at 5.00am to walk their beagles, can be at ringside dressed to kill at 7.00am, but have trouble making it to work on time.

  • Use dog food bags as garbage bins and garbage bins as dog food bins.
  • Talk on the phone for hours to a beagle friend in a language totally foreign to other people.
