First Agility inductee into the Bulldog Club of America’s Performance Hall of Fame 

On 10/7/2000, Bertha became the first Bulldog to earn Regular class Open level AKC titles in Obedience (CDX) + Standard Agility (OA) + Jumpers Agility (OAJ).
To this day, she remains the only Bulldog with that achievement!
On 11/6/2010, our Moxie became the second Bulldog to hold Open level AKC titles in Obedience, Standard Agility & Jumpers Agility, but Moxie’s agility titles came from the Preferred, rather than the Regular, class (OAP & OJP).  Moxie’s daughter, Tipsy, became the third Bulldog to hold Open level titles in Obedience, Standard Agility & Jumpers Agility when she earned the Open Preferred Agility titles (OAP & OJP).

Bertha was my Novice A agility dog who went all the way to the first Master title in her breed.
Her agility career was during the years before the Preferred classes were implemented,
so she always jumped full height for her size, which meant 16” tall jumps.
The height of the jumps was higher than her own height at the withers.
She often won or placed in her class over svelte and speedy typical agility breeds.
She was the darling of our lives & the reason we fell in love with the Bulldog breed.
