What is a title really?

                 "Not just a brag, Not just a stepping stone to a higher title, Not just
                            an adjunct to competitive scores."       

                                         "A Title is a tribute to the dog that bears it, a way to honor that dog, an

               ultimate memorial. It will remain in the record and in the memory

               for about as long as anything in this world can remain. Few humans

                will do as well or better in the regard. And though the dog himself

                 doesn't know or care that his achievements have been noted, a

               Title says many things in the world of humans, where such things

                                                        count."  

                "A Title says that your dog was intelligent, and good-natured.  It says

                that your dog loved you enough to do the things that please you,

                      however crazy they may have sometimes seemed."

               " A Title says that you loved your dog, that you loved to spend time

                with him because he was a good dog, and that you believed in him

                enough to give him yet another chance when he failed (or you did),

                       and that in the end your faith was justified.

                "A Title proves that your dog inspired you to have the special

                relationship enjoyed by so few; that in a world of disposable creatures

                this dog with a Title was greatly loved, and loved greatly in return."

                "And when that dear short life is over, the Title remains as a memorial

                   of the finest kind, the best you can give to a deserving friend,

                volumes of praise in one small set of initials before or after the name.

                "A Title is nothing less than love and respect, given and received

                                      permanently."
