Well, on July 19, i'm turning 56! In human years, that is. In doggie years, that makes me 8 years old. They say that's when I officially become a "mature" beagle, but try telling that to anyone who meets me- they always think I'm no older than a pup. Is it my youthful looks? My bright disposition? My ever-curious nose? Maybe my energy and stubborn-ness that still matches any year-old puppy? Who knows?
Anyway, I digress. In my 8 years, I have travelled to 3 countries, and have moved 5 times.
I lived in the Philippines until I was 2. Mom and dad chose me 1st from my other brothers and sisters because i was the only one who went over, sat beside them and never left their side. Since then, mom, dad and I have always been a tight pack.
I was destined to live the life of a pet and faithful companion, but my breeder convinced them to enter me in dog shows because of my exceptionally beautiful head and expression. My good looks come from the best pedigree. My grandfather, American Champion Shaws Spirit of the Chase, is also Uno's great-grandfather. If you don't know who Uno is - where have you been? He's only the first ever beagle or hound for that matter to win at Westminster.
So, it goes that the first 2 years of my life centered on competing. My official name and title is Philippine Champion Hardrick's Exploding Boy, and i got my title before turning 2. Then, mom and dad retired me and we moved to Canada where I now live a life of leisure.
