While half-brother Hank was busy at a Scent Work trial Miss Charlie got to find some rats instead at the SchaSam Farms Barn Hunt trial in Stanwood, and she had a blast!!!

Over the course of 2 days Miss Charlie Bear (CH Sparta’s Going Mach 2️⃣ With Her Hair On Fire) not only earned her Barn Hunt Novice title but she did it with 2 High In Class awards, and on the 3rd run she was 2nd in class, what a way to finish a title ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥!!!
We had such a fun weekend and can’t wait until we get a chance to do it again!!! Thank you to all involved in an engaging weekend!!!

In his continued quest to do all the things Mr. Hank (GCHB Sparta’s Have Fun Stormin Da Castle BN RI CGCU CGCA ATT FDC TKI RATN SCN) got to step back in the show ring for the first time since early January and won back-to-back BOB!!
On Saturday only he competed in OH and won OH Group 3 and made the cut to 6 in the regular group 💖!!
On Sunday he got to run around the Juniors ring with one of his favorite kids, Easton, and they had a blast!!!
He then went on to one day at an AKC Scent Work Trial for only one day and not only did he Qualify in his first Advanced Container run but he took 3rd place in a large entry of talented dogs!!

This boy can do all the things and more, we are just so very proud of him and his absolutely amazing mother Christine, so many accomplishments yet to come ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥!!!

Some very important things to remember about the adolescent brain!
04/05/2024

Some very important things to remember about the adolescent brain!

ADOLESCENCE:
As dogs go through adolescence, it’s safe to say things turn a little topsy-turvy! 🙃

If you’re currently at this stage and feeling like you’ve taken one step forward and two steps back, don’t panic! During this stage of life, there’s a lot going on in their busy little brains.

Here are three facts about the adolescent brain 🧠👇

1. The inhibitory neurons of the amygdala that help to dampen down emotional responses don’t fully mature until the END of adolescence.

2. Communication between the frontal cortex and amygdala, which is essential for skills training, decreases during adolescence.

3. Extinction memory is impaired during adolescence, so if your dog has a bad experience it’s much more likely to lead to a ‘hard wired’ fear memory.

Have patience and compassion as you support and guide your dog through this vulnerable period of brain development.

In August he Won the Bred-by Exhibitor Champions Sweepstakes at the Mt. Rainier Working Dog specialty!!! And perhaps most importantly he got to enjoy lots romps in the field with his fellow BRT housemates, always imparting joy and confidence to those around him!!!

Ru and his amazing human Jen have been very busy this past year both in and out of the show ring!!!
Ru and Jen are used to showing in an area without any competition, but when the opportunity arose they were able to pick up a wonderful BOB win from the classes over ranked specials!!! They also have picked up multiple OH group placements, and to top it off Ru got to be piloted by Jen’s niece in the Junior’s ring where they picked up a first place in their class and showed in the Peewee’s ring with Jen’s son!!! So super special!!
In performance they have picked up 2 legs in Rally, their GGCU and CGCA, AKC temperament title, and have been competing in a new Rat hunt sport called Happy Ratters where they have been excelling!!!
We are so proud of this family and our sweet & goofy boy, Rurik!!!! ❤️

https://www.brtinfo.ru/dog.php?screen=1&id=45939&userif=2

This beautiful sassy lady has been working on all sorts of things in and out of the show rings.
She finished her AKC CH in style at just over 12 months of age, picking BOB from the Bred-by class twice over multiple ranked specials, and a BOS from the Bred-by class. The icing on the cake is she has always been shown (save one time there was a juniors ring conflict) by her youngest co-breeder, Makynlee, making her the first dog Makynlee has finished. So proud of these two young ladies!! She is now showing as a special on and off with Makynlee at the other end of the leash and will be making some more appearances in the juniors ring!!!
Outside of the show ring Charlie is building the foundations for K9 Nosework competition, dabbling in rally and Barn hunt, and having so much fun!!! Can’t wait to see what the future may hold for this charming lady!!! 💞💞

To top it off she picked up a Group 3 in the Working Dog puppy and juniors sweepstakes!!! Way to go baby girl!!! 💖💖

She picked up a Bred-by Exhibitor Group 3 in Albany in April and her first day showing as a finished CH she picked up a lovely Group 2 in big competition!!!

We start off celebrating the PNW Junior Crew!! What a year these 3 have had despite participating in a relatively limited number of shows!
Easton and Hank have continued to grow as a team! It has been rewarding to watch Easton’s confidence grow as he gets more comfortable in this arena!! He is currently the 2nd ranked junior in the breed and has only been to a handful of shows the whole year!
Johanna and Schatzi picked up a few wonderful class wins and placements the first part of the year, and Johanna and JJ also got to play in the Junior ring picking up a first place. Johanna is currently the 3rd ranked Junior in the breed and like Easton only showed at a handful of shows!
Makynlee and Master Bogie were total rockstars in 2023!!! Makynlee picked up her first All-Breed Best Junior and her first Best Junior at the Working dog specialty in August!! To say we are proud of this young lady is an understatement!! This was her first year competing in Open Intermediate and we have to remind ourselves this talented lady was only 12 years old!! My what her future may hold!!! Makynlee is currently the 1st ranked Junior in the breed and has even spent time ranked in the Top 10 juniors for Working Dogs!!! 💖💖💖
