I 100% support Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. they vested my dog, K9 Bonito and provided all the dogs at the Sheriff’s office a vest.

I will be buying a hat and a t-shirt…..

We will never forget our hero, K9 Gabo who bravely took 5 bullets while protecting his handler. Vested Interest in K9s is proud to have provided Gabo's life-saving vest. This commemorative K9 Gabo T-shirt and Challenge Coin Bottle Opener are in memory of a true hero. Military green cap also available at the VIK9s online store.
Purchase for yourself or give as a meaningful gift. All profits help us protect more K9s. 🐾

Keeping the window open a crack is NOT enough to protect animals unattended in a hot car. Call 9-1-1 if you witness an animal suffering inside a locked vehicle.

Just our 2nd seasion of tracking and I would say this boy is loving it!!!! #lookinggood #bloodhoundsofinstagram #tracking #beast

AKC Fetch Advance: Here is an idea of how it would work… The distance for the Advanced retrieves is 70 ft. The course has 3 blinds which are screens at least 24 inches tal. As the dog sits at the handler’s side at the start line, you can not hold the collar, a helper drops a bumper behind each blind as the dog watches. The dog must do 2 single retrieves and 2 double retrieves. The order is chosen by the handler. The dog will fetch and return and must come close enough for the handler to take the bumper.

To give everyone an idea on how the AKC Fetch will look… Bonito will complete one single retrieve. In Intermediate: Intermediate dogs must retrieve a tennis ball (or equivalent), bumper, or toy that has been thrown 50 ft. The handler can hold your dogs collar with one finger until the toy is thrown and lands. The dog must return the toy within 2 feet of the handler. The Intermediate course has 8 distractions. The dog must go between these to retrieve the ball. The dog can see where the ball has been thrown. In Intermediate, the dog must do 4 single retrieves. In any order (handler’s choice), these must be: 1 to the left 1 to the center 1 to the right then 1 more to the left or right (handler’s choice)

I made a few videos to give everyone somewhat an idea on what the AKC Fetch will look… In Novice: the Novice dog(s) must retrieve a tennis ball (or equivalent), retrieving bumper (also called a dummy) or a toy that has been thrown 30 ft. You can hold the dog’s collar. The Novice course has 4 distractions. The dog goes between these to retrieve the ball. In Novice, the dog can see where the ball has been thrown. In Novice, the dog must do 3 single retrieves. In a single retrieve or “Single,” one ball is thrown the dog is given the cue by the handler (e.g., “Fetch it!”), then the dog retrieves and brings the ball to the handler within 3 feet. The 3 singles will be thrown in any order chosen by the handler. There must be one ball thrown to the left, one to the center, and one to the right. Here is Bonito doing 1 single retreive.
