My name is Yoo Hoo, aka Champion Meme Zee's Yoo Hoo I'm Back  MX, MXJ RN. I have an AKC championship for beauty (blush, blush) and for balance have  titles in agility at the other end of my name.  These include a titles in Master Excellent Standard and  Masters Excellent Jumpers Agility. I also completed the first Rally title (novice). Not sure if Meme will work up the courage to take me to the next level as the leash has to stay outside the ring rather than on my collar. (she says it makes her nervous to have me off lead). I liked agility a lot. My Dad Loo better watch out because I am REALLY fast. But he said he wasn't worried because I have long stretches of time between when I qualify by meeting the time standard and also doing the course correctly But, I do love agility. If I could only get the judges to agree with my renditions of how a course should be run, I could be way in front of my Dad. In agility, you get to run without a leash and whatever human is with you is not allowed to  touch you (as in putting their hands around your neck) . That means, you can sit at the start line and look for four leaf clovers,  or go visit the dog in the next ring, (for some reason, that gets everybody upset) or  run up the A frame and stop at the top and look around to see if you can find the Van. I also like to stop and scratch my back on the ground or rub my nose around in the dirt. I have been told that I  can be a "trial" at a trial. It is just so hard to come to a grinding stop in order to sit or lay down on that stupid table. My rear end just can't seem to stay still for the required 5 seconds.

My favorite thing to do is get the "back to nature" look. In the winter time, I do this best by running as fast as I can on top of the pool cover which is holding puddles. This is followed by a quick trip through the shrubbery where the cats hang out and if I'm really pumped, I can get dried off by rolling in their sand box. In the summer time, when the pool is open, I swim laps. Although I don't need it, Meme makes me wear a life jacket. I can do 4 to 5 laps while the chlorine works it's wonder on my coat. The beauty contests were really sort of dumb so I'm glad I don't have to do them any more. In fact, I have a new hair-do that is much shorter and  kind of a blow and go look. 

I am also starting obedience training. (I have been told that these lessons are way over due). I find obedience to be rather stuffy compared to agility but its fun non the less. I especially like getting the dumbbell and doing the jumps. Heeling is a real bore..  My folks both have obedience titles and their beauty championships. So I guess its my turn now.   You can see my parents pictures on the homepage. (Divy and Loo E)
