Bugle is affectionately known as "Bugle McDougall" or just "Mr McDougall" around the house but his name comes from a horse racing theme, as his litter was born on Derby Day.  Bugle was a short backed stocky pup that reminded me of the bugle boy whose horn calls the horses to the post.  Since he'd been calling my attention from day one, the name fits him perfectly!  I just adore this boy.  He has never had a bad day and he lets everyone know it with a permanent smile on his face.  Bugle is a big boy with nice bone and a happy-go-lucky temperament.  Like a typical Labrador, he's never met a stranger and his tail rarely stops wagging!  Bugle finished his American Championship with back to back majors on July 2-3, 2011.  He earned his Junior Hunter title all owner-trained and handled on September 20, 2014-- he LOVES the birds as much as his mother does!  Bugle earned his Dock Junior title in June 2014, while his mother, sister, and son all earned their Dock Novice titles.  As a regular therapy dog at Baylor, Bugle has earned the Therapy Dog Novice title and continues to visit and will earn additional titles as we reach visit milestones. 

I lost Bugle at age 14.5 and he swam right up to the day he earned his wings.  The boy loved his pool!!!
