I don’t EVER ‘brag’ on my ‘throwing skills’ with dock jumping because I have NO throwing skills in dock jumping!!!
🤣
Like if you want to see bumpers and balls being thrown OUT of the pool…I’m your girl!!!
😎

But since I’ve got Bert I’ve really decided I needed to step up my game.

So I started REALLY watching people who throw good and talked to a lot of people and I think I’m getting better!

So this is a brag on *MY* new PB in throwing in dock jumping…

I threw the bumper so well that Bert jumped 24’3”!!!
Now, that is NOT Bert’s personal PB, but it is *my* personal PB for throwing for big jumping Bertha! Bert is only gonna jump as good as the throw is, so I think this is brag worthy!!!

Yay me!!!

We have one more event this year and then we have a break until May. I hope to work on my throwing skills during the winter so I can come out in the spring and see Bert jumping new PB’s because I can throw better for her!!!

If this doesn’t put a smile on your face…

This is all seven of my Tubby x Frigate puppies. They have been a joy to raise. The owners of these pups are very lucky to have such fun and SMART puppies coming into their homes!

No doubt ‘Fisher’ (Bodie x Quill) is an integral part of his family.

So proud of each and every Whiskey Creek Chessie who is running agility who made it ‘on the list’ for the 2025 AKC Agility Invitational. While none of us were high enough in the standings to be able to participate, it is always nice to see Whiskey Creek dogs doing well in so many sports.

Congrats to Ann and Katniss for having more points than ever before!

Congrats to Keith and Rainey for appearing in both regular height and preferred.

And proud of my own girl Prim who I think only ran two or three weekends the whole year and is now ‘retired’ from AKC agility due to a mysterious limp that only presents itself when Prim runs agility.

Responsible dog ownership is NOT necessarily spaying and neutering your pet, but being a responsible owner and not allowing your dog to breed without careful planning.

Preventing unwanted litters is a goal we all share—but it's time to rethink the surgical approach. Hysterectomies and vasectomies, which preserve hormonal balance, can safely be performed as early as 8 weeks of age, making dogs sterile without disrupting their natural hormones.

In this study, researchers looked at whether the age at which dogs were spayed or neutered, meaning how long they were exposed to their natural s*x hormones, affected how healthy they were in old age. They studied a group of long-lived pet dogs to learn what helps dogs live longer, healthier lives. Dogs with the fewest age-related health problems were considered the most “robust.”

The results showed that both male and female dogs who kept their hormones longer (i.e., were spayed or neutered later) were 3 to 10 times more likely to be healthy in old age compared to those altered earlier. Once hormone exposure and age were taken into account, there was no difference in old-age health between males and females.

This study highlights how important s*x hormones may be for staying healthy later in life and shows that early-life decisions—like when to spay or neuter—can have long-term effects on health.

My beautiful Brier!

I just learned today that she was the YOUNGEST Chessie to have ever earned the Rally Excent title. She was just over a year old! She held that record for over 16 years!!!

I’m pretty impressed that we even held that honor for such a long time!

Apparently there are only 244 Chessies who have earned the title and out of the 244, Whiskey Creek and Nuka Bay (in Alaska) have the most Chessies to have earned the title…ten each!

It’s nice to have dogs that have held the honor of being the first, or the youngest, or the fastest, and all the other kudos that people can come up with. Whiskey Creek holds MANY of those ‘brags.’ To all the others who have accomplished excellence…CONGRATS!!!
