Cardiac and Patella OFA certificates arrived for Kylo! For some reason they're not listed on his profile yet, nor have Phasma's come in, but I'm sure both will be back in another day or two. Here's his profile link for when it does update!

This leaves Kylo with only hips left for required tests, as well as eyes and elbows for optional testing. Hips and elbows are both done after 24 months, so he gets a bit of a health testing break until the fall!

With Phasma in season, we took Kylo out of the house for a few hours yesterday to give his nose a break. I still expect my boys to be respectful and manageable around good smelling girls, and Kylo has been handling it fine (honestly, I'm not 100% sure he's even noticed), but it's a good excuse to work on public manners like NOT needing to run up and greet EVERY person that walked in or out of the Starbucks we were chilling at. Taking after Sully as my new Walmart greeter, apparently. We also visited PetSmart, where we worked more on impulse control and obedience around birds, rodents, cats, and kids while picking up some Christmas gifts for the dogs and food for the resident reptile.

Excellent health testing updates for Kylo and Phasma today:

Both passed their Patella and Cardiac evaluations! The best part of having a breeder vet, we get to combine health tests with annual visits, AND they handle all the paperwork

Of course this means I also don't have the paperwork until the certificates arrive, so enjoy this reused photo of Kylo for the algorithm.

Once OFA processes, their results will be searchable by looking up their registered names on the OFA website, along with all their other health testing with the exception of spines, which are a pilot program and not publicly listed.

And before Kathy yells at me ...yes, Carsten is on there too 🥰

With the new structuring of the Superdog, Carsten didn't need an obedience title to prove how Super he really was, and he was awarded the SD title. Carsten was an incredible dog and an amazing advocate for the breed, and it's great to see him able to be recognized for it.

It's official - Superdog2 Sully!

After seeing UKC All Breed Sports post a reel today of a Superdog title being awarded, I checked their website to see that Sully has officially been awarded the SD and SD2 titles! Waiting to hear back whether he is, officially, still the breed's first - but based on the list, I only saw one other AHT with an SD and know he was submitted after Sully since it was our Carsten - and yes, we STILL hold that rivalry between the boys 😂

With the announcement that UKC has brought back the Superdog program, Sully might be adding to his UKC title count despite his long retirement!

Sully retired from UKC long before the Gemstone GRCH levels were added, when many of today's sports, classes, and titles didn't exist, but I'm still excited to say that despite all of that Sully qualifies for both the SD and SD2 levels pending UKC processing. We did have to reach out to confirm his UWPCH ( a third level title) would qualify in place of a new prerequisite weight pull title for the SD2, which UKC confirmed yesterday.

Under the original program, Sully was Superdog #93, the first American Hairless Terrier to earn the distinction, as well as the first NBOB of any breed.

Best boy 🩵 chilling after a bath. He says that baths definitely count as torture, and he should get extra snacks for tolerating that.
