The Bark of a Champion.....
An Interview with Stump
as appeared in AARP magazine
Sit back and enjoy this Exclusive interview with
Stump, a Sussex Spaniel, Westminster's "Best in Show" champion.
Q. So, Stump, you've been retired for five years, but
your handler showed you because you "look great".
What's your secret?
A. I'm all natural. No Botox for the Stumpster. No
jowl lifts or steroids or canine growth hormone. I eat
right and take care of my coat. Ten is the new five in
dog years.
Q. You have such great ears.
A. They swoosh around when I run. There's a shot of me
at Westminster where I look like Fabio (laughing).
Q. You nearly died from a bacterial infection. How hard
was that?
A. The infection was in my heart valves, and I also had
pulmonary edema. it definitely changes your perspective.
(Stops to lick himself)..... I think it was F. Scott Fitzgerald
or maybe Benji who said "Vitality shows in not only the
ability to persist but the ability to start over."
Q. Were you worried about competing again?
A. Don't forget: I won 50 competitions in 2003. Remember
when George Foreman won the heavyweight title at age
44? That's me. I'm a four legged Foreman.
Q. So many dog show fans raved about your personality
and charisma.
A. It's part of being a Sussex Spaniel. We're known
for our cheerfulness. Big Ears and big personality.
(Laughs) It's hard to define star quality, but I just
have this presence, you know?
So when I walk into a room, or if I'm on stage, everyone
goes, "Whoa - who is that?" Oprah, Obama, Bono.....
Stump! I'm in that same category. I'm like a really
hairy Brad Pitt. (Laughs, then licks interviewer.)

The Nutrition Your Dog or Cat Really Needs
Dogs and Cats live longer and have healthier lives when
you feed them a high quality food. This is obvious.
Cheap food will not sustain a dog or cat's nutritional
needs like a high quality food will.
We urge you to take a look at what we consider to be the
best dog and cat food currently on the market. We have
seen Totally Amazing results with our pets and the
Life's Abundance food and supplements are all we
will feed Tippy and Alfred and the other cats.
Take a look at our web site with these Incredible products.
