Winger earned his Open Agility Preferred title at the Alamo Area Shetland Sheepdog Club trial in Boerne, TX! Onto Excellent!!!

The four Goldens and I traveled to Tulsa, OK to show at the Mid-Continent Kennel Club of Tulsa and Natural State Golden Retriever Club shows, as well as run FastCAT. PC and I won our class on Saturday under breeder judge, Debbie Claussen at the NSGRC specialty show. In all the other shows we placed 2nd or 3rd in our class. All the Goldens LOVED running FastCAT! Ayla was unsure of the noise and other dogs barking at first, so she made me run her first run with her. Waverly and

Winger earned his Novice Agility Preferred title under judge Heather Dickinson this weekend at DePaw Dog Sports in Leander, TX. This title has been 2 years in the making and I am excited to say Winger is finally starting to be able to work in arousal and keep his jump bars up. Waverly picked up another Q in Novice Standard on Friday, so she is now one Q away from her Novice titles in both Standard and Jumpers with Weaves.

The first two days were an elimination round where the dogs completed Container, Buried, Interior, and Exterior searches to accrue points based on number of hides found plus negative points for false alerts, faults, and zero points for NQ-able offenses (destroying a container, eliminating in a search area, et

We hit the road to Purina Farms for our second GRCA National Specialty! Winger competed in the Junior Hunt test, WC, scent work, and agility. Waverly got to compete at her first specialty in scent work and agility. Winger passed his Junior Hunt test and WC with flying colors! He went 3/5 qualifying scores in scent work, and had some really amazing moments in agility with Premier JWW and Premier Standard runs that were so close to Qs. Waverly had a spectacular day at the scent

Winger earned his Fetch Advanced title today!

The Golden trio competed in the Greater Austin Doberman Pinscher Club Fetch Test today! We were back at the same location as our Novice Fetch Tests. This time the tests were run back-to-back, which meant the dogs were retrieving 8 times in a row! Definitely a mental stamina test for the puppies. I discovered that Waverly is less like to run victory laps on her retrieve if she has a ball vs. a bumper, so I found some balls that don't squeak at Petsmart and bought them. There w
