Feywild Kennels

10/09/2025

This last weekend Feywild headed to the last CAT of the season with thr Chintimini Kennel Club. As always it was a wonderful experience and the dogs had a blast!

Mia enjoyed her weekend of running, and Loki scored 4 more runs towards his CAX!

Ursa came out and enjoyed a getting some snacks while people walked back and forth to their vehicles. Her Stranger Danger is vastly improving and I am looking forward to the end of her adolescence just for that!

We also had a special little guest along with us! Mia's sister had a litter and we got to bring one along for a weekend of socialization and new experiences. She was a total charmer and ready to explore the whole place. She has been a joy to have in the house, took right to crate and leash training, and the only noise she really has made is about riding in the kennel in the car. On top of all that she went to a shotgun training to get to hear gunfire, which she was not worried about at all!

Overall it was an awesome weekend and we look forward to next season!

Ursa's fun run! She still needs better form, but she will grow into it. We have work to do before next FastCAT season and I feel like she is going to do just fine.

Can we also acknowledge how high this girl can jump? That isn't even the highest she has gone. We can 100% thank Ashton for his foot springs Shannon!

Loki's Dash run! Totally unphased by tipping the lid on the pully (thankfully leaving it in the ground) and making a tight turn for the return trip.

Mia's first Dash run today! We had to take a moment because she knocked the pully off in her exuberance 😆 She was only slightly weirded out about why the bunny stopped running, but she got to show off her awesome recall.

The Feywild was back in Longview today! Sometimes things are tight for dog entry fees, but we really made today count.

Mia and Loki both did Dash runs, scoring Mia her FLY2 title and Loki his FLY! They got to fully enjoy themselves.

Mia also did Steeplechase, which is Dash with 4 added jumps in the middle. She did great on both runs (to be expected) and that snagged her LEAP title as well!

Ursa came along for exposure and to have a couple fun runs. She wasn't so sure about leaving me since we have done so much work on staying close and she has that natural handler focus. So I left her with her Auntie Hannah so I could show her I wanted her to run the whole thing. She really liked the running part, but we certainly have work to do on her MMD (Maximum Mommy Distance).

Three titles in a day was worth the trip, but even without the letters or ribbons, I love watching my dogs have fun most of all. I'll be sure to get videos posted!

The Feywild was in Longview, WA this last weekend for the UKC Western Classic!

Mia and Loki came along for some great runs in Dash and Precision Coursing, earning Loki his FLY and RACEM titles and Mia her RACEE! They both did amazing and had so much fun.

Ursa came along for some exposure and she even got to try a fun run. She REALLY wanted to chase the bag, but she was also concerned about how mom would feel about her getting so far away. The big thing is that she was interested and willing to chase, so I see it being a favorite in the future.

Baja, or boy without a home, headed home for a trial run in learning to be an explosives detection dog! We will be checking in on him regularly and see where that takes him.

Lastly, Mia went to a Cardiac Clinic held at Classic and we got her an echocardiogram done. The first time I had her heart checked for OFA, I had a basic check done. In the intervening time, I have earned that Labradors are at risk of Tricuspid Valve Dysplasia. This causes that valve to not form correctly and eventually lead to Congestive Heart Failure. The only way to find this is with an Echo, as dogs with active TVD can present without a murmur.

The whole basis of my program is based on healthy dogs, and when you know better you (should) do better. In fact, I was putting off all future breeding plans until I found out what Mia's status was. So when I found out there was going to be a clinic at Classic, this was my sign to get it done now.

So, good news! Mia is clear of TVD and I will be on the search for the sire of her second litter which will be planned for early 2027. The goal is a yellow male or a black carrying yellow, but, as always, health and temperament come first!

We didn't have the pool when Soria was here last. She certainly seems to love the new addition!

Soria is back in the Feywild.

Sometimes things just don’t work out, and while this wasn’t the outcome we hoped for, I’m thankful she’s back in my care where she can decompress, heal, and move forward.

Soria is 7 months old now. She is smart, sensitive, affectionate, and full of potential, but she’s coming back with some setbacks that need gentle, thoughtful work. She missed out on some key early socialization and has had some digestive issues that are now being properly addressed.

She is not currently available to just any home. Once she’s had time to settle in and rebuild her confidence, I’ll be looking for an experienced, patient, and committed home. One that understands the needs of a soft, intelligent Labrador and can help her blossom into the dog she’s meant to be.

I’ll post more updates on her progress soon. In the meantime, I’m just glad she’s home.

I am super late on this update, but Baja has earned his S.T.A.R Puppy title from the AKC! Huge thanks to his foster mama Miranda for all the wonderful things you have done for this boy while he waits for his new home. I could not have asked for anything more than what you have done.

Baja IS still looking for his person though! If you or anyone you know is looking for a boy to enter the sporting world with, Baja is probably the guy. Super loving and handler focused, he is ready to do it all!

🌟 Baja is looking for his forever home! 🌟

Feywild's Moonlight Sonata STR

Baja is a driven, intelligent, and eager-to-please young Labrador who is ready to find a home where his potential can truly shine!

Baja has already earned his AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy title and is showing huge promise in training. He’s sharp, motivated, and always up for learning something new. He had his first water introduction and he took to it like...well...a Lab to water!

Baja isn’t your average couch companion — this boy needs a job! Whether it’s sports, working tasks, or advanced obedience, he’s happiest when his mind and body are engaged.

I am specifically looking for a home willing to keep Baja intact, as he’s being evaluated for potential breeding at age 3. All health testing and evaluations will be covered by me when the time comes.

Personality: Smart, focused, and people-oriented, Baja thrives on structured activity and clear direction. He’s looking for an owner or family who can appreciate his drive and help channel it into something fulfilling.

Location: Winston, OR
Message me for details, photos, or to chat about whether Baja might be your perfect match!
