For the first time ever, Jyn was also the recipient of the Rat Terrier High In Breed award sponsored by the Rat Terrier Club of America !

Super proud of our best girl and her awesome human partner!

Sully retired last May, but he came down to Orlando for the AHTCA Showcase this evening. He finished out the 2023 competition year as the #1 Rally AHT in the country.

AKC awards Rally points only to dogs who have completed the Rally Excellent title. In order to earn points, the dog must score above a 90 in one of the RACH classes, or achieve a triple Q (qualifying in all three classes in one day.)

At the age of, at the time, 13, Sully completed his Rally Master title and earned all his points from the Master class, making breed history as the first AHT to be ranked by AKC for Rally. He was also breed first to multiple Rally titles, including the Rally Master.

Huge thanks to the American Hairless Terrier Club of America, Inc for the fantastic showcase evening and prizes.

Sam and Gabriel went back to Illinois with Joyce and Spice, but love getting updates from these adorable boys! They're certainly keeping Joyce busy up there.

They are both still looking for new playmates. Please reach out via PM with any questions!

Castiel

New name TBD

Castiel said he had better things to do than hang around in a stocking, and was pouting during his photoshoot. Good news for this busy little guy is that he's going to go be an agility dog! He will be joining an older AHT 'big brother' with an awesome new family - I'll let them share exactly where though 😉

Sundial NHK Saving What We Love "Tico"

Formerly Ruby, she is sticking around for performance with Kathy. She will be joining the ranks of Jyn and Merida and, hopefully, continue to remind the world that ! We'll also get her in the show ring next year though agility is her main job.

Think we could pull off a hairless/coated brace team with Kylo?

Puppies had their last full litter vet visit today for their second DHPP vaccine and vet checks. Everyone got a clean bill of health, lots of snuggles, and plenty of cookies!

Gabriel

This awesome little dude would excel in a sport home! He is sassy and drivey and ALL terrier. He loves to play tug, but during temperament testing was found to have a slight preference for food over toys (but he says either is fine, as long as he gets to play the game!). He also would make a fantastic active companion, and is pretty enough to dabble in the show or junior rings.

Gabriel has been BAER tested normal hearing in both ears and is up to date on vaccines and deworming. He comes with AKC Registration (limited or may discuss full with the right home). Parents are fully health tested to CHIC requirements with OFA as well as SBA and Spine.

Sundial NHK Meant To Be "Kylo"

Did we need a boy? Not really. Was he too nice to let go? Apparently! Joyce and I may be open to the perfect co-own situation for this guy, but for now he's growing up here with his sister Phasma and will be hitting the ring next year.

He is super handler focused and LOVES attention, very outgoing, and will probably enjoy sports as well as his show career. Reminds me a lot of Ahsoka in temperament for those that have met her.

Sam

I can't believe this sweet, bouncy boy still hasn't met his match.

This dude is quite the character! He is sweet, loves to play and fetch, and always down for a cuddle. He's got enough energy to keep up with whatever activity is going on, but is chill enough to make a Netflix day of things. He loves to interact and engage with people and bounces around in celebration whenever things are exciting. He LOVES to use his nose to sniff out new fun things.

He might enjoy a low impact sport like nosework, but this isn't a puppy that needs a job other than "new bestie". He has AKC Registration (limited), is BAER tested normal hearing in both ears, and is up to date on vaccines and deworming. Both parents are listed on OFA and tested beyond CHIC requirements.

Introducing Sundial NHK On My Command "Phasma"

Previously Charlie, this little girl is WICKED smart. Show her something once, and she offers it over and over...this is a blessing and a curse. She is staying here as a part of the New Hope Kennel family, and we're very excited for her future in both the show and performance rings.

She says ears still loading. They're getting there ðŸĪĢ

More good news for the Supernatural puppies!

BAER hearing testing is a breed club requirement for breeding dogs in AHTs, and can be done as early as five weeks of age. We were able to schedule a full litter test for these guys, and ALL SEVEN have normal hearing in both ears!

We are super excited to be able to send these guys to their new homes with that guarantee.... Though they are still Terriers so can't promise they'll actually use their working ears to listen.

And that brings us to 8 weeks with the Supernatural puppies! I can't believe how quickly it's gone by.

Puppies participated in the APET temperament test on Sunday, which was tons of fun and gave some really interesting insights into individual personalities of these guys. Huge thanks again to the friends and family who helped wrangle, write, test, and snuggle the puppies!

Puppies will all get at least one more individual post, and I'm hoping to sneak in one or two more fun photoshoots with them. But for now, I'll leave you all with their 8 week stacks for your "puppy tax"

The Supernatural puppies are seven weeks old today! The last couple of weeks with them has been SO much fun watching them learn and experience their environment. The litterbox training seems to be clicking too, which is a bonus 😅 they've met lots of new people, have made friends with the kitten, and gotten lots of playtime both indoors and out. The hairless say with the recent cold front, they prefer indoors, thank you ðŸĨķ.

The coated AHT who started it all, Carsten

MACH3 PACH UCH Kidd K's Cross My Heart RN FDC MXG MJC MXP4 MXPB MJP4 MJPB PAX XF T2B2 CAA BCAT TT RATS CGCA CGCU TKE ATT (plus about a bazillion other titles)

This is a dog I never posted much about. While New Hope Kennel encompasses two households, Carsten was quintessentially "Kathy's dog" and Kathy doesn't run the social media. ðŸĪŠ

Originally intended to be MY juniors dog, Carsten very quickly made it clear he was NOT going to be a show dog OR a kid's dog. However, he was Mom's everything, and a phenomenal sport dog, as well as her medical alert dog. He was our family's gateway into dog sports and agility, getting "The Man Who Doesn't Like Dogs" hooked on agility. Carsten was athletic and confident and naughty as hell and only ever loved Mom.

Without him, we never would have started on this journey. Sully is who I credit for MY interest in showing and breeding, but Carsten gets the credit for getting us started....and for leading us to try a second time for that juniors dog ðŸĪĢ Carsten was a trailblazer for the AHT breed, both in UKC and our early AKC days.

He passed in May, but our Facebook memories sometimes bring up old photos like this one. Love ya Carsten Man, and may we live up to your legacy.
