The Bullynger
The American Dog Federation/ADF has a unique program that allows both you and your dog to obtain
Conformation/Dog Show and Obedience titles in a stress free and safe environment. Very similar
to the same idea of children and adults getting degrees and homeschooling online The ADF gives you and your dog a great opportunity to title your dog. There is no traveling
to shows in hot weather, no fees for a professional handler, no hotels, no hours on the road.
What you do need however is a video camera. Your dog is judged on his/her own merit by
knowledgeable judges. *No title is issued unless the dog is deserving.
