Hot on the heels of the last blog post about the Mr Puppy UK 2020 Contest, the turn of the year came around and the handover from Pup Trumpet to ThatPuppyHunter was scheduled for early January, at The Dog House in Stoke.

This was also the first time that I’d ever been to The Dog House and the first time at a puppy event since the contest in December. The day was fun, catching up with people and having some fun as a puppy but there was also the handover from Trumpet to Hunter to deal with.

As well as the handover, and the speeches from both Trumpet and Hunter there was also a chance for some photos and to have some fun! During the photoshoot, I think I might have given Puppai Buumi a bit of a fright when I lifted him up on my shoulders!

There are some pictures below… and I’m very shortly about to go off for another “Pup on Tour” so expect more photos sooon!

  • Who turned out the lights…
  • Stumbling in the dark
  • Buumi with his only fan…
  • Oooh a puppy themed fruit machine!
  • Buumi going up in the world…

Wow, was the last thing I wrote really about Birmingham Pride back in May last year???? That just goes to show that I’m incredibly busy and I’m not getting much chance to pup out as I used to… I mean, even this post is nearly 4 months late!

November 9th 2019 saw the annual contest being held to award the title of Mr Puppy UK for the 5th year in a row; taking over from Pup Trumpet who has held the title throughout 2019. I was tasked with looking after the band of judges and keeping them in check.

Thankfully, they were all quite well behaved and did as they were told… even if I did turn out to be a bit of a trouble maker later on in the day!

The main part of the day saw me supervising the interviews with all the puppy candidates, watching the stage performances and speeches, and making sure that I had enough paws to add up the scores at the end of the day!

When we were all on stage at the end of the contest, and I was asked by Brock if the scores had been tallied up correctly and verified, instead of answering ‘Yes’, I thought it would be fun to say ‘No’… so I did. Cue some amusement for a few seconds before I actually said ‘Yes’!

The resulting outcome of this was that Pup Hunter was awarded the title of Mr Puppy UK 2020, with Pup Rogue coming in First Runner Up and Pup Parker being Second Runner Up. Pup Dex won Pup Congeniality.

However, as I’ve always said, everyone is a winner because it takes guts to get up there on stage and perform and talk to people about what makes you passionate!

Some pictures of the event are below.
