Favorite shed Friday!

What was your favorite find that you (or your dog) found this year?!
Post a pic below 👇 and share this post! Let’s see some cool 2024 antlers!

Here are our favorites from this year! (1 Muley, 1 Whitetail!)

15/05/2024

Do you practice for antlers in water?
You should! It doesn’t happen often, but we do occasionally come across an antler sticking out of a water source. Having a dog that has practiced picking up an antler out of water only makes them more confident when you experience that situation!

Fun Fact: this picture is from our champion level course at our last UKC Elite Shed Dog trial.
This course took advantage of the natural occurring water source and used it as a “water plant”.
“Water plants” used to be a staple on a UKC course. Sadly, we have moved away from that degree of difficulty on courses (generally speaking). I remember in 2019 running at the national championship and having some TOUGH water plants 🤯.

Maybe in 2024 more clubs will start using water plants again 🤞.

Just a shed dog, running through some Kansas wheat 🌾 with an antler!! What a beautiful sight! 😍😍

ESD Boone — owned by Gideon and Danielle Fuchs

Boone earned his Elite Shed Dog Title on Sunday after putting together a win with a time of 1:57. It was such a fun run, he made it easy for me. Boone had a very strong weekend earning 2nd place on Friday, and 3rd place on Saturday, before securing the win on Sunday. Could not be more proud of this fella! Good boy Boone!

10/05/2024

GRCHSD Zeus — owned by Derric Fuchs and Tasha Fuchs

Zeus earned his GRAND Champion Shed Dog Title on Sunday, with a solid run of 3:43. This one was special, because I know the hard work that has been put in to accomplish this title! I have seen this dog rip off some nice runs! What Zeus can do on a good day is really impressive!

We are so happy for Derric and Zeus, Congratulations!!

CHSD Boomer — Owned by Kevin Daehling & Bridget Daehling

Boomer earned his Champion Shed Dog Title on Saturday after receiving another successful pass. If you have seen this dog run, you know that he 100% deserves that title, and more! He is a very high motor, talented dog that had some insane runs in Working Class. Since bumping up to champion he has been very consistent. If he is in the running order, he is always capable of ripping off a good run! He is a fun dog to watch, and I can’t wait to watch him at future events!
Congrats Kevin and Boomer!

WSD “Drift” — Owned by Tracy Burlingame

Drift earned her first Working Shed Dog Title on Sunday. I had the privilege of judging this dog this weekend and she is a fun one to watch! On Saturday, Drift came out of the starting gate on a mission, scooping up the fastest time of the day and winning the Working Class with a 2:09! Very quick and a strong nose on this dog. Looking forward to seeing this one at future events.

Congratulations Tracy and Drift!

Also, a huge thank you to those who helped us put this thing on. Whether that is organizing, judging, cooking, babysitting, etc. it takes many helping hands, so thank you!

I wanted to take a minute and say thank you to those who nominated and/or voted for me for UKC Elite Shed Dog Series Ambassador of the year. It’s truly an honor to even be considered for that title.
This sport has sent us down a path that 8 years ago, we had no idea would even exist. That path has led us to meet some INCREDIBLE people (many of whom we consider very close friends), start a podcast, and travel across the Midwest to compete. This sport Is something we have a passion for and I’m thankful for everyone we have had the privilege to meet along the way! Thank you all.

Nationals Post!
Posting this late, but on March 22, 23, 24 we traveled to Altamont, Illinois for the UKC Shed Dog Nationals. There were lots of talented dogs and great people in attendance.

Our dogs didn’t have any of the absolute burner times that you need to have a chance at the podium for this event, but the dogs were consistent and we did walk away with three National Passes. One for Sadie (Gideon), Caliber (Danielle), and Boone (Gideon). All three dogs hunted hard, while doing what they love!

A couple other highlights included Gideon getting nominated for Ambassador of the Year, recording a segment for the UKC Hunting Ops Podcast, and most importantly having a safe, fulfilling family trip.

04/04/2024

We enjoyed getting to sit down with Todd at Nationals. Check out our interview at the end of the episode (1 hour, 28 minutes).

In this week's episode, Domenick Muoio and UKC VP Todd Kellam break down this year's Elite Shed Dog Series Nationals before diving into some interviews with Shed Dog leaders, youth handlers, and more. You won't want to miss it!

Our next event is May 3, 4, and 5 near Ellis, KS! This is event is coming up quick!

This is our TENTH Kansas Shed Dog trial, so we wanted to do things a little different. So for this event we are excited to announce we will be using a new facility and will have rooms available in a LODGE that will be used as headquarters.

Rooms are limited so please let us know ASAP if you are coming and want a room in the HQ Lodge. We can send more information about it upon request.

Other hotels would be available in both Ellis, Wakeeney, and Hays.

This is NOT a DOY event, just to clarify.

Ps. With event #10 on the books, we couldn’t help but reminisce about our first event at Cedar Bluff and how far we’ve come. So we decided to ‘revamp’ our first ever announcement to keep the nostalgia going. 😊

Is there a certain day in the spring that is your favorite all-time day to shed hunt? March 23rd is our favorite!

Flash back to March 23, 2019, when Caliber brought us back this droptine antler. The exact antler we were searching for on this day, as we had seen this buck on hoof. A fun shed hunting memory for us! So March 23 is always one of our favorite days to shed hunt.
