I am so sad to have to post this for Patti and Martin. Rest in peace Fred, you were well loved and I know how much you will be missed.

DOTCORNY training club held their annual awards banquet last night. Recognition and Title bars are given to members and their dogs for titles earned during the year. Our members and their furry partners earned 278 titles across multiple venues! Each year we have a nice dinner, time with our friends, a game of dog trivia and one of our members puts together a movie of the members and their dogs throughout the year. I have attached a link to that movie.
I knew the girls and I had been busy and in 2017 Libby and Ziva earned a total of 16 titles! Thank you Julie for my smart, versatile girls who are willing to try whatever I ask. They are always eager for any adventure even if it is just a trip to the park or riding shotgun while I run errands.
Ziva lead the way with 11 new titles. She became an AKC Champion, earning her Tracking Champion Title (CT), Variable Surface Tracking Title (VST), Trick Dog Novice Title (TKN), Trick Dog Intermediate Title (TKI), Trick Dog Advanced Title (TKA)and her German Shepherd Dog Club of America Temperament Certificate (TC). In the Preferred Agility classes she earned her Open Agility (OAP), Open Jumpers with Weaves (OJP), Excellent Agility (AXP), Excellent Jumpers with Weaves (AJP) and Master Jumpers with Weaves(MJP). She also continues to hold the record and possession of the trophy she earned last year for most titles earned by a member’s novice dog.
Libby not wanting to be left out earned 5 new titles; Companion Dog Title (CD), Farm Dog Certified Title (FDC) , Trick Dog Novice Title (TKN), Trick Dog Intermediate Title (TKI) and her German Shepherd Dog Club of America Temperament Certificate (TC).
Master JWW Q with a 3rd placement
Master Std Q with a 1st placement
She has another pending surgery coming up, so we will be laying low for a bit, which is hard for Z-Evil one to do! I don’t think we will be ready for any agility until May. Until then we can sharpen our Nosework skills to keep her out of trouble 🙂
