I am incredibly proud to share that Poesi has now achieved her FCAT title in the sport of FastCAT. Her final run was at the Copper Classic Dog Show under Harmony Dog Sports, and look at that amazing rosette and custom sign!

Running this little dog has been an amazing experience, and she has certainly shown that Swedish Vallhunds can have great speed AND great conformation. She achieved her FCAT in 23 runs, with her fastest time being 28MPH. She has maintained her ranking of #1 Fastest Vallhund in 2024 & Lifetime, and has had a great start for her first few runs of 2025.

We've had an incredible weekend here at the Copper Classic Dog Show in Surprise, Arizona. I'm so proud to share that Poesi not only achieved her FCAT title on the trial field with Harmony Dog Sports, but she then went on to be a rockstar in the conformation ring.
We can now add two awesome Group placements to her accolades:

💛 AKC Herding Group 3
under judge Ms. Shelley S. Hennessy

🤍 AKC NOHS Group 4
under judge Mr. Bradley K. Odagiri

The most incredible news is that with Poesi's group placement came the award of a 4pt major... the last thing she needed for her AKC Championship.

💖 NEW AKC CHAMPION! 💖

Pending AKC approval:

My eternal thanks to Carol Gravley of Skaldsong Swedish Vallhunds; not only did you decide to trust me with this special puppy, but you've been the most amazing mentor and friend to me. Your support means the world to me. I couldn't ask for a better introduction to this fantastic breed community and I'm thrilled to see what the future holds.

Poesi loves any sport that we do together, but there's certainly a special place in her heart for FastCAT! She has so much fun letting loose on the coursing field, and is now officially #1 Fastest Vallhund (Lifetime). She's also got her first two legs of her Coursing Ability Test title, and is just a few points away from her FCAT too.

A little while ago I submitted some photos of Poesi to Art While Apart, a lovely organization connecting volunteer artists with pet owners. After a few weeks, I opened my email to see this gorgeous artwork greeting me from Juliette Miron () of my girl Poesi.

I've sent them a tip to show my appreciation for their amazing work; they captured the essence of the breed so well! Please go give them a follow over on Instagram - I'm certain that their art will put a smile on your face, and they're also working with someone in our breed community to create a rather adorable children's book!

We primarily trial with the American Kennel Club, but last week we decided to take the plunge into a new venue - the United Kennel Club! We entered four conformation shows hosted by the Desert Southwest Shetland Sheepdog Association in Phoenix AZ.

I am delighted to share that Poesi not only received wonderful critique and compliments from the entire judging panel, but finished the weekend with three competition wins in a competitive herding group lineup - she was awarded Group 2, Group 3, and Group 4. I suppose next time we shall hope to "complete the set" with a Group 1 placement! Thank you to judges Lynn Martin, Matthew Proctor, and Karen Myers for your compliments on her breed type, movement, and temperament.

✨🌻 It's official... Poesi is the fastest Swedish Vallhund in the American Kennel Club FastCAT systems. She now sits at #1 for both 2024 & Lifetime achievement, and will be offered a place at the AKC Fast CAT Invitational this year. Congratulations, Poesi! 🐇💨✨

I'm incredibly proud of her for the enthusiasm and energy she puts into everything we do, and we are so proud to represent Skaldsong Swedish Vallhunds with this special girl.

She is now just a few points away from receiving her FCAT title, which we hope to acomplish in just a few weeks at the Copper Classic Dog Show with Harmony Dog Sports. We'll see you there!

✨🌵 Poesi has a sense of adventure and loves to travel the country with me. We recently had a phenomenal time visiting Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona! We love these beautiful places right on our doorstep, and always follow the B.A.R.K. Ranger code:

B – Bag Your P**p
A – Always Wear a Leash
R – Respect Wildlife
K – Know Where You Can Go

(Please note, I have edited myself and her leash out of these photos. I was looking pretty bedraggled after a week on the road, don't judge me!) 😂

✨🌻 We're leaping into the weekend with plans to check out a local UKC show! Whilst we were too late to enter this time, I suspect we may start playing in the UKC venue in 2025. If you're at the event in Phoenix AZ on Saturday then feel free to come and say hello! 🥰

I am very excited to share that Poesi is now ranked as the #1 fastest Swedish Vallhund in AKC. She had an incredibly fun time running in Tucson AZ for the Coyote Classic 2024. There's just two more runs for us before 2025 begins, but she will (hopefully!) be bringing home her FCAT title at the start of the new year!🐇💨

✨🌻 Poesi is a beast for the "trash bunny" when it comes to FastCAT. In terms of speed, she's maintained a spot in the Top 5 Swedish Vallhunds since she started the sport, and this year has only increased her speed.

She is currently tied for #5 place with one of her littermates, but thanks to some amazing runs in Tucson AZ last weekend... I'll be keeping an eye out on the leaderboards for some exciting news to share!

These photos were taken at a trial in North Carolina earlier this year. Many thanks to Brian Batista Photography for capturing these special moments for me! I'll be sure to share some photos from last week's event when the photographer makes them available.

✨🌻 Unlike most Swedish Vallhunds, Poesi is a huge fan of water! She's a natural when it comes to swimming and she's even taken a liking to dock diving. I love these photos of her silly faces when shaking off after though.

✨🌻 Poesi takes any opportunity to flex her agility skills, and this abandoned skate park was a great place to do so! All three of my pups had fun running around before we went to visit family for Turkey Day dinner. #swedishvallhund #vallhund #vastgotaspets #västgötaspets #swedishcattledog #swedishvallhundsofinstagram #wolfcorgi #akcmeetthebreeds #akc #americankennelclub #dogsofinstagram #dogs #puppy #agility #rally #conformation #dockdiving #barnhunt #fastcat #solros #solroskennels #solrosvallhund #dogbreeder #ownerhandled #NOHS
