This year at the 3rd Annual BEAGLE BASH FOR CASH held Sunday Nov 9th, we had to choose from 3 ever so deserving candidates for the highly esteemed award - the BADDEST BEAGLE OF THE UNIVERSE!

We thought it was going to be a difficult choice, but after reading Copper's submission, NOT SO MUCH!

Of course, we made honourable mention to his running mates...

First, there was our very own BOB Rescue Beagle and Long-Term Foster, the illustrious St. Nicholas! There’s no doubt Nicky has what it takes to score the crown one of these years. Hiding a raw chicken leg in the cushions of his Foster Parents’ couch definitely scores high. Keep on working at it, Nicky! One day, you’ll be King!

Our 2nd Honourable Mention went to running mate, the infamous Surfin’ Benny – one of our bodacious BYOB members! Benny likes to chew…EVERYTHING! From antique buffets to dryer fluff from the laundry room! Be proud Benny, you came close!

But Copper (our Mr. November), won this thing paws down.

Our New KING (also fondly known as the Destroyer of Peace by his doting parents) is a combination of Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde and Damien.

Do you remember the movie, THE OMEN? Remember the scene where Damien is being taken to church for the first time? Yeah, that’s our King when he’s taken to the vet’s and he goes to the vet's an awful lot!

There’s simply not enough space on this Home Page to list all his attributes but here’s a few:

1.                 Animal Control’s "MOST WANTED"

2.                 Avid Roadkill Hunter, Eater & Collector (will choose over       smoked ham any day!)

3.                 Kidnapper of Unsuspecting Neighbour’s dog (just for kicks!)

4.                 Roof Climber if the Pursuit of a Squirrel requires it

Considering all the reasons why he won the title, I would like to pay homage to his owners/servants, Margo and Richard, and for all you beagle owners out there for that matter! It isn’t easy being parent to a beagle! Like I always say, we beagle owners must come with a great sense of humour to accept our life sentence! Give yourselves a HUGE round of appaws!

Congratulations Copper! Not only were you crowned this year’s BADDEST BEAGLE OF THE UNIVERSE! but you also earned the esteemed title "Mr November"! Don't let these things go to your head, okay?
