15 years ago I meant a wonderful woman who has become a good friend. She bought a puppy from me, Moose. I have had the pleasure of watching their lives unfold, Moose was ring bearer at her wedding, he was guardian to her three lovely children, and was always there for the family as a friend, or retrieving game or a pillow for a tired child. He beat cancer many years ago to come back strong He finished his conformation Championship. It seemed he was invincible but alas old age has creeped up to take him away today over the rainbow bridge. Rest in Peace fella, you are as deeply missed as you were loved. My condolences to the Miller family. You gave him the best home any dog could ever ask for.

Some of our dogs live in areas where there is still snow. That’s okay if your a Labrador, they take water in any form 🤣

One of the most special jobs my dogs do is with children. Very proud of the work Bean is doing.

A blast from the past, was cleaning out boxes and ran across a couple of old photos. I bred English Cocker Spaniels for many years. This is my foundation, Chilbrook Lady of SoHo. I called her Bugsy. On my Virginia farm in Orange county there were abundant woodcock and she and I use hunt them on a regular basis. This is from around 1974.

Very proud of this Jill x Poker daughter PAI. Here is a list (yes, she's been that busy) of her 2024 accomplishments:

Rally
WCRL:
Level 1-AOE*
Level 2-AOE*
Level 3-AOE*
ARCH (All Rally Champion)
ARCHX (All Rally Champion Excellent)
Level 1 Championship
Level 2 Championship
- We are currently working towards our ARCHEX (All Rally Champion Extraordinaire).
*AOE – Award of Excellence: appended to the title when the first three scores are 190 or higher. 210 is a perfect score (if you attempt the 10 pt bonus), which she has earned many times so far.

AKC:
Novice
Intermediate
Advanced
Excellent
- We are currently working towards our Master/RAE (Rally Advanced Excellent)/RACH (AKC Rally Champion). She just started in the Master class a couple weeks ago and earned a 99 and a perfect 100 for her first scores! She consistently scores in the very high 90s in Rally.

Agility
CPE:
Speedway Elite
CL1-R (Level 1 – Standard)
CL1-H (Level 1 – Handler)
CL1-F (Level 1 – Fun)
- We are working on earning one more Q in Jackpot to earn her CL1-S (Level 1 – Strategy) and her overall Level 1 title.
- She already has several Qs in the Level 2 classes and is started to work towards some of her Level 2 titles.

AKC:
ACT2
NF (Novice FAST)
- We are working on earning one more Q to finish her Novice Standard title, and 2 more to finish her Novice Jumpers title.

Scent Work
CPE:
CSS-L1
- She needs 1 more Q in Containers, Exterior, and Interior to finish up her CSS-L2 title. She has already earned Qs in her L3 vehicle searches.

AKC:
VSWB (Virtual Scent Work – Beginner)
- We have been taking formal classes for the past year and will probably do a few trials in 2025. She’s incredibly good at it (and loves it!), but our schedule doesn’t allow for a lot of scent work trials right now.

Miscellaneous:
3rd place in a 100-Container Challenge
- For fun, we entered a 100-Container Challenge that was being held nearby. There were 100 containers and an unknown number of hides. The goal was to find all the hides, with no wrong calls (they would earn penalty points), in the shortest time possible. Paikea and I just went for fun and to practice as a team, so imagine my surprise when we were notified at the end of the day that not only did we find ALL 11 hides, we did it with no wrong calls, AND in the 3rd fastest time! She was one of only a few dogs who found all the hides without any wrong calls.

Dock Diving
NADD:
DJ (Dock Junior)
- We started competing very late in the season since I thought we would need more time to learn to jump from the big dock, be comfortable jumping from new docks, and practice a good, fast water retrieve (instead of just going out for a swim) but she got in there and was ready to go! We are looking forward to the upcoming season!

IDS:
- No, new titles since we started so late BUT we did earn an invite to the International Dog Sports Dock Diving Championship! She qualified in the Velocity class. She was so eager to jump that she actually broke her collar and had a false start so only one of her two jumps counted. We didn’t place with the “big dogs”, but we had fun!

We’ve had an incredible year with so many different adventures; I can’t wait to see what fun 2025 has in store for us!
