Rowen and Thunk!!

Continuing on their many adventures, Thunk finished his DCAT and is pretty close to that FCAT now! Just the best little team anyone could ask for!!
Think is also currently the #1 fastest MBT for 2024 at a 24mph average!

Now that most of our

has gone to their homes, I suppose I should introduce them! Poor pink has put up with all these boys for so long! Or maybe they've put up with her 😉 I've loved having these babies and glad I get to watch a few of them grow a little while longer before they leave ❤️ Big thanks to Julie Stade for the opportunity to be a co-breeder on this litter! Amazing when you get to work with your mentors so closely! ❤️

I am SO EXCITED to announce...

RACH!!!! Nikora!

Biggest of congratulations to Kathy on achieving this milestone! Hard work and dedication!! I am just in awe of this team!! They made quick work of this RACH, as they only started actively trialing for this title in Nov, and skipped Dec and Jan!! I am just in awe! They have several High Triple and High Combined on this journey. I just can't be more excited for these two! I can't wait to see what Kathy does next 😉😉

Jill and Patti have had a couple of amazing weekends! Patti finished her BCAT title and LOVES the game! She set a few new personal bests throughout the 2 runs. Patti also had several best of breeds and OH best of breeds. She only needs a couple of singles to finish her Grand. She also went on to a regular group 2. Owner Handled group 3 and 4 and to top it all off she not only won the Owner Handled group but went Owner Handled Best In Show!! I could not be more happy for these two! Jill and Patti also passed their CGC! Patti also passed her BAER and ofa normal patellas.

NEW CHAMPION!

I am so excited to announce that Tyler finished his championship, completely owner handled, in only 3 weekends of showing! I am so proud to be able to co-own this Dredger son with Jill and Art!
Tyler went WD 7/8 shows, and the only one that wasn't WD was a RWD! He is such a fun dog that took everything in stride! Pictured is one of his 3 major wins, the weekend before he finished. Huge congrats to Tyler's breeders - Julie Stade and Pam Harris. An even bigger congrats to Tyler's owners Art and Jill, and thank you for giving me the honor of co-owning this wonderful boy, as well as showing him to his Championship.
