Dare got mail!

Back in December we went to a AKC Rally Obedience trial with our friend and Dare's breeder Amanda and her lovely Dachshund Bugsy and Dare obtained his Rally Novice title (RN) and 1 out of the 3 legs needed for his Rally Advanced (RA) title. We had a blast and can't wait to go to our next Rally Trial.

We had a great few days at the 2nd annual Texas Star Dog HRD Seminar. We brought several of our search and rescue dogs and everyone did exceptionally well!

K9 Beretta passed her NOCSAR Human Remans Detection Land Certification

K9 DareDevil passed his NOCSAR Human Remains Detection Land Certification AND his NOCSAR Trailing Certification

K9 Gage worked on lots of new problems and passed his NOCSAR Human Remains Detection Land Certification, making him dual certified.

K9 Aleksei tagged along and got to work a few simple problems and get lots of pets as she is still recovering from her Spay procedure 2 weeks ago.

Very very proud of all these dogs ❤️❤️

Today, Gage from our B Litter and Lex from our A Litter passed their Human Remains Detection Land Type III Certification through AWDA. This was Lex's third year certifying and she did great. But Gage absolutely blew me away with his work ethic. This test is hard for any dog, but it's especially hard the first time through for a young dog. At only 18 months old Gage worked through some tough problems, and I am so ao proud of him. ❤️

This is especially true for working German Shepherds, their job comes before everything else in their mind. They may not even know they are too hot, too tired, injured, etc.

Pending AKC approval he is now

Beretta z Zaruka's OFA prelims came back and we are super pleased that she has Preliminary "Normal" Elbows and "Good" Hips. Once she turns 2, we will get her finals done ❤️

Recently, Aleksei and I attended a PSA trial, trying for her PDC (Protection Dog Certificate) and while we missed by only 1.5 points, it was a great experience, and I am thrilled with how hard Lex tried. We're gonna clean up a few things, start working on the behaviors we need for the Level 1s, and in either the fall or the spring we will try again for her PDC and the first leg of her PSA1.

Thank you to OddPaw Studio for capturing some truly gorgeous pictures

Miss Byte, now known as Eevee is off to her new home! Her and her new owner Nikki are beginning the long trip back home to California, where they'll learn to become a Search and Rescue Trailing team. We spent the last couple of days practicing Eevee's Trailing skills and showing Nikki what Eevee knows. They had some extremely successful trails together and we can't wait to see all their progress together. ❤️❤️
