Hello, my name is Budgie and I am a Maltese dog. I was born on 22. April 1992, and got my name after the drummer from Siouxsie and the Banshees/The Creatures (here you can see a picture of 'the real' Budgie and my owner :) )

Both me and my owner think that the "anarchistic" picture expresses me very well... I am a big fighter for freedom of dogs - and I am also agains violence. When I see someone beating up his dog, I come there and bite him! I do the same with my persons if they want to beat me up! When they treat me well, I am a good dog :)

I loved agility competitions...I did place in many competitions around Europe, and I was running A3 class, later in Oldies...I thought that trainings are boring, but competitions with cheering crowds - who wouldn't love that? I am retired from agility since August 2000. I am still a happy dog, I am a couch-potatoe most of the time, but also don't mind wild races around the house, jumping from one couch to another, and of course playing with other dogs and going for long walks.

When I was 7, I got a "birthday present" - a Parson Jack Russell Terrier called Arnie. I tryed to be the best daddy can be, I was teaching him all the things a dog should know. I loved him very much, even though he wanted to fight with me from time to time. Unfortunately he lived only 2 years and 7 months, I miss him very much and was very sad... In october 2001 a new furry little terror moved in to live in my house. It's a girl called Queenie. Luckily I am the one who she obeys the most, so I am quite happy with her. Sometimes she drives me crazy though. But I love her!
