While many are now releasing their 'we are in the Top 5' Fast CAT 2024 brags, we are happy we get to play. ;-)

To us, its not about awards but how well the dog enjoys what they are doing. Some of our dogs are speedy, some are not. Some are running at 2.5 years old, others are running at almost 10 years old.

If they are happy, I'm happy. That's all that counts.

The number to the right is the Miles Per Hour that they run. It ranges from our Emma at 25 mph to Daisy at 16 mph. ;-) Sure she strolls and grins at the Judge as she passes him, but she loves it.

While the final 2024 Fast CAT points have not yet been posted, AKC has verified Susie's DCAT title award!

Four Days! Four days trapped behind 8" of snow and we are now plowed out and can get out and be mobile again! The spoos and I have been very well fed, warm and comfie but boy are we bored!

Basically I have 2 days to refuel our stocks at home before the next storm hits.

Reminder: The core vaccines: Parvo and Distemper have been scientifically proven to last at least 7 to 15 years!

Once your dog is vaccinated as an adult, they are set for life.

Over-vaccination IS proven to cause health issues.

Just don't do it!

🛑 Before you automatically vaccinate your dog, you may want to be sure they actually need it! Two new studies just concluded: "This provides further support for the performance of canine core antibody titers to assess whether a vaccine booster and/or specific type of booster is warranted." Ask your vet to check your dog's titers with a simple blood test before you say yes to the vax.

Well here we are, all ready and hunkered down for the big blizzard that's coming overnight.

Lucy and Emma are back fresh from their spay surgeries and resting comfortably.

I'm still a little behind on answering emails and applications. Please excuse the delay, I've been busy storm prepping and bringing Lucy and Emma back and forth to the vet.

Looking back, what a year 2024 was!

Fast CAT:
Emma earned her FCAT title!
Daisy and Susie earned their DCAT titles!
Peter and Archer earned their BCAT titles!

Everyone was a Fit Dog of one level or another....

Susie, Lucy and Dahlia earned their Farm Dog Certified titles!

And last but not least Susie and Daisy earned their AKC Temperament Test (ATT) titles.

From Annual Issue: Kaz Hosaka - Like No Other

Written By Amy Fernandez

Westminster 2024 stood out as the rare occasion where everyone agreed about the winner. That included exhibitors, judges, handlers and, most of all, the millions of casual fans that still tune in every year simply because they love dogs. The fact that the winner was… another Poodle didn’t seem to matter this time. America fell in love with Sage and her handler, Kaz Hozaka. Post judging he stood there crying his eyes out for the world to see–both stunned and overjoyed. That real-time moment shattered so many media misconceptions of dog people as cynical opportunists. Sage was clearly delighted with the whole thing. It was a beautiful moment and the world was witness.

That night was suddenly jettisoned into an entirely different frame of reference when we learned that our sport lost a living legend. Shocking is an understatement and that collective grief extends far outside of our little world. Continue reading: http://caninechronicle.com/?p=314747
