Could not have asked for a better way to spend the weekend but with the dogs! Stoli decided he forgot how to run in Fast CAT but had it down by the end of the weekend again. Ries, however, far exceeded my expectations. This was only our 2nd ever Barn Hunt event after approximately a total of three lessons. We competed in 2 instinct classes and 4 novice classes and successfully found the rat in all but 1 novice class. To take it a step further she got 2 second places and 1 third place in our novice classes. The cherry on top is that she earned both her RATI and RATN titles this weekend! We have some homework to do before our next event in November but I know she can rock it out of the park again! More photos to come soon! 😉

Happy Birthday to my favorite Sto-man!

Stoli says hold my beer mom, I’m going to blow them away with my speed! NOT! It was Stoli’s first ever attempt at Fast CAT this weekend and needless to say his first run was a memorable one! In fact, it was so memorable that he won his height division’s Turtle Award! That means of all the dogs running that are over 18” tall, he had the slowest time of the day! 😂😂😂 He picked up how the game works after that first run but ooo boy that first was interesting!

Congenital deafness has been reported for approximately 80 breeds, with the list growing at a regular rate; it can potentially appear in any breed but especially those with white pigmentation. Congenital deafness in dogs can be acquired or inherited and the Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response (BAER) test is the only accepted method of diagnosis.

Learn more about BAER testing on our website: https://ofa.org/diseases/other-phenotypic-evaluations/congenital-deafness/

Summer may be winding down but the dogs are just as active as ever! Since we weren’t able to make it to the Amana’s last weekend to get Stoli his BCAT I guess that just means that now he gets to join Ries and I at the Fort Dodge event in October? Logical right? Stoli will be running Saturday and Sunday in Fast CAT and Ries will be doing some barn hunt that weekend as well!

***UPDATE-She has been found safe!***

Izzy was stolen from her owner’s yard on September 2nd. The owner stepped inside for a few seconds and when she went back outside she was simply gone. Izzy is a white and black, HUA, 21 lb. female Dalmatian from my May 5, 2024 litter. Being HUA means she does have special dietary needs. She is microchipped. Her family misses her dearly so please spread the word! If you see her or anyone you know in the area finds or suddenly has a 4 month old female Dal matching her description please have the dog scanned for a microchip. Her contact information on the microchip is up to date.

Well true to fashion around here National Dog Day was spent at the vet for 2 out of the 5 dogs. Jasmine went in for her retirement spay and the vet said she is recovering well and will be home tomorrow. Stoli decided he wasn’t feeling like running at next weekends Fast CAT so he pulled a muscle Saturday just to get out of it. Of course he’s a pansy so he has also determined a pulled muscle means he needs to be carried everywhere. I’ll take a pulled muscle with an impromptu addition to today’s vet drop off over the CCL tear I was afraid it was, though! 2-3 weeks of rest, pain meds, and plenty of mama cuddles and he’ll be back to normal which is just what I want to hear! As you can see this mama’s boy is already getting spoiled with extra cushioning on the elevated bed as well as bedside service for dinner!

Now that we are finally old enough to be fully vaccinated we did our first public outing! Julep went on her first structured walk around the lake, had a mini training session (video) amidst distractions, and got exposed to many new things such as bikes, cars driving right next to her, and dogs even bigger than my Cane Corso (Nyx)! She did so well for her first time!

07/23/2024

At this point I feel like the dogs get more mail than I do…

07/17/2024

All the ladies are in a wrestling mood this evening, apparently! Julep is enjoying having her mama back in the house and I can’t believe how big she is in comparison to Jasmine!

07/16/2024

Can’t leave out the Stoli! He is now officially on the board! Not bad for his first runs ever-we have one more weekend for the year in August and then his season will be done until 2025.

07/16/2024

Ries moved up in the Fast CAT rankings after AKC processed her most recent runs from the end of June! Her season is done for the year unless I decide to go somewhere last minute which, let’s be honest, is a complete possibility.

07/16/2024

Saw this in another group, not one of
mine but figured I’d spread the word!

07/15/2024

Video of our first ever barn hunt trial! Didn’t find the rat but she was actively sniffing and looking for it and didn’t eliminate in the ring like a lot of dogs were doing that day! I’ll consider that a win!

07/12/2024

Ries attended her first ever barn hunt trial today while at the KLIMB Classic! No Q’s but she had a blast sniffing around!

07/11/2024

Ries and Atlas are officially on the board for Dals in Fast CAT! AKC hasn’t processed through the end of June, yet, so both of them should be moving up and Stoli will also be added to the ranks here as soon as our most recent event is processed!

07/11/2024

Julep isn’t the only one learning new things! Ries had her first barn hunt lesson so now we get to practice some of the test items at home! Now to do a Day of Show entry with her this week or not? 🤔🤔🤔

07/09/2024

Don’t mind my jammies but Julep is already a little over half way to her VHMP title at just 9 weeks old! She has a strong start in two other test items and we will start working on her leash training and recall here soon. Considering we can’t even actually test let alone apply for the title for another 3 weeks I’d say she’s doing well so far!

Photo dump of the last of the Celebration litter photos! As a reminder, with the completion of this litter I will be taking a break from breeding until (tentatively) late 2025!

07/06/2024

It’s officially official-the last of the puppies from the Celebration litter has gone home! With that being said, I would like to introduce my keeper puppy from the litter Julep formerly Yellow/Firework aka Rosais’ Run For The Roses!

07/04/2024

The last of Ries’ Fast CAT runs for her BCAT and start of her DCAT title!

Photos are in from Stoli’s first Fast CAT weekend!

Week 8

Puppies have started to go off to their new homes so I thought I would have some fun with stacked photos the other night. It’s always fun to see who can stay still the longest for these photos! 😂😂😂

I told everyone Atlas formerly Black/Hurricane was up to a bit more! He has progressed from his Novice to his Intermediate Tricks title!

After submitting Atlas’s tricks via video (since he was tired yesterday) Braelyn Cross awarded Atlas his Intermediate Tricks title!

Did you know that some AKC titles can be tested virtually? This can help owners who don’t have an AKC evaluator near them and many other reasons just like Atlas being too tired to test after his long day!

07/01/2024

No rest for the wicked aka Atlas formerly Black/Hurricane this weekend! He also added CGC to his list of accomplishments! Stay tuned, I have it on record he may or may not have been up to a little more while he was at it! 😉😉😉
