How many Grand Champion veterans do you know who run over 12 miles per hour? We have a Club pug doing just that, earning his DCAT title today with two clean runs averaging 12.15 MPH at the Langley Kennel Club Fast CAT trials in Williamsburg. Take a look at GCH Heuberg's Jewell Thief, NPJ, DCAT, TKN. Owned and trained by Club member Marie Manning and expertly handled with the "Bowling Ball" release by Club member Sean Rohe.
GCH Heuberg's Hurricane Lloyd, TKN, ACT1 today upgraded his BCAT title to DCAT. The D in DCAT represents 500 points in the sport of Fast CAT, a timed 100 yard dash sanctioned by the American Kennel Club. Lloyd averaged 14.6 MPH in his two runs today and runs again tomorrow, seeking to rack up those points for the ultimate achievement in the sport -- the FCAT title. Here's his DCAT run, narrated by Club member and Lloyd's co-owner, handler and trainer Marie Manning.

GCH (US and Canada) Heuberg's Hurricane Lloyd, TKN, motivated by treats, blew through his 100-yard heat in today's Mattaponi Kennel Club Fast CAT event in White Post, VA, finishing in 19.19 seconds at a speed of 10.7 MPH. Released by Natalie Beard Sweeney and cheered on in the catch pen by Marie Manning and Jutta Marx Beard. Super props to Ching-Yao Yu who expertly handled the lure.
On this day in history, not one, but TWO Grand Champion pugs ran the first Fast CAT legs of their careers. Here we celebrate GCH (US) and CH (Can) Heuberg's Jewell Thief, NJP. His time of 21.71 seconds over 100 yards equates to 9.42 seconds. Key mentions: Mattaponi Kennel Club hosted the event at White Post, VA Natalie Beard Sweeney handled Pappy Van Winkle on the release Marie Manning handled catch-pen and cheerleading duties Ching-Yao Yu, our amazingly patient lure operator. And did we mention that Pappy Van Winkle is 8 years old? Amazing.

There's lots of training that can take place at home while we wait for events to be rescheduled. Club VP Margaret Lockwood not only shows conformation pugs, but she trains and judges multiple performance sports. She will be judging GCH Heuberg's Hurricane Lloyd for his Novice Trick Dog title once he gets 10 tricks under his belt...er, belly band. Here he is learning how to do "kissy" on command.
