I need to pinch myself sometimes because it’s hard to believe how far my dogs have come in scent work, we started this sport in January 2024.
Long post so brace yourself 🙂
Yesterday at the Dobermann Club of NSW trial with Natasha Neppl as our judge, I competed with Envy - Ch MonElite Envy RN SWE SWX SWV BH FH-V ROM in our first Ultimate search.
I went in with a mindset that we are unlikely to pass and to just have fun with my dog and learn from the experience.
However….. we passed!!!
I think Envy is the first dobermann in Australia to get a qually in Ultimate (someone please correct me if I’m wrong), and definitely first in NSW.
I can not describe how happy I was, I think that everyone at the grounds heard it 😂
This wouldn’t have been possible without a group of like minded people that I get to hang out with and play the game with.
My teachers Sharon and Sofia and my usual “team” mates Sonya, Louise, Alex - huge thank you.
Everyone at scent trials has contributed to this in one way or another by helping us run trials by cheering each other on.
We have several dobermanns doing scent work in NSW and I cant wait to trial at the top level alongside Sonya and Luna and Kerry with Kira.
In addition
Luna - Ch MonElite Lunar Eclipse JC RN SWE SWI SWV TKS NSPRD ROM gained another element title, and only missed one hide in Ultimate!!
Envy also gained a pass in Masters Containers handled by Sharon.
Bliss - Ch MonElite Life Is Bliss CD RN SWA BH FPR1 ROM also got a pass in masters containers handled by me
