Did An English Bulldog Just Win A Dog Agility Contest?
JEFFERSON COUNTY – When you think agility, we’re guessing the last thing on your mind might be: bulldog.
“Most people who get a bulldog want a couch potato to love or at their feet,” said Dorothy Wysaski, Apricot’s owner. “You don’t get a bulldog to do athletic things but I love to do these athletic things.”
Years ago, Wysaski, a veterinarian, had an agility course built in her backyard to help another dog recover from surgery. All of a sudden she became addicted to agility, and started to train her own English bulldogs.
“The big thing with a bulldog is they don’t do things to please you,” she said. “They do what they want to do.” So food comes in handy when it comes to coaxing them to complete the course. Dorothy has used that motivation to train a whole class of champion bulldogs. They may not win in their class, but Dorothy says her dogs have long been the top bulldogs in agility in the country.
“There’s a bulldog hall of fame for performance, for doing this sort of thing,” she said. “(Apricot’s) dad is in it, her mom is in it, her older sister is in it, her aunt is in it and she is already in it.” In fact, Apricot has been the top bulldog in agility for three years running. She added two more qualification ribbons at a competition on Friday and hopes to add two more on Sunday. She’ll continue the agility competition at the Foothills Sports Complex on Sunday.
