PICKLE!!!  Had birthday #11 on the solstice.  The weather has not been conducive 

for a photo.  It will have to come later when it warms up a little and isn’t raining!!

ROSETTE is happily hanging out in retirement at 9+.

We hope that 2026 brings us some puppies in a whelping box!!  And then we will work on more agility for Bonnet and will try to teach her some utility.  Teasel can maybe continue collecting some points for her championship and when she is ready we will try some novice agility and obedience.  Rosette and Pickle can hopefully both grow a year older.

Amazing news!!!

 Paisley in Minnesota, daughter of Rosette, half sister to Bonnet, was awarded a MACH (Master Agility Champion) this weekend.  This is the highest agility title possible.  It is an amazing achievement requiring a lot of patience, practice, and successful trialing.

Wow!

 We have had quite the weekend!  We started it on Friday at AK-9 doing agility where Bonnet ran in 4 runs and Q’d in three!  This earned her another QQ and 5 points in Time to Beat!  

Then we traveled up to Shelburne, Vt for the BOTC obedience and rally trial.  Bonnet got 2 new titles!!  Rally Excellent (RE) and her CDX.  She got placements in every class, including two blue ribbons in open obedience because we were the only open A qualifiers!!  and both rally and obedience were classes of 8-9 exhibitors.  Sooooo many pretty ribbons!  

Teasel also played in the rally ring.  She was unable to cope with being off leash in rally advanced ring so I moved her to rally intermediate and she placed third and fourth for 2 legs towards her RI title.

Bonnet is now

I am incredibly proud of Bonnet.  She was shown in open obedience only 6 times (3 in July and 3 this weekend) to achieve this CDX title.  She is the most wonderful, willing, biddable dog!!  She is only my 4th dog with a CDX. This journey is not an easy one but to succeed at agility one day and then immediately switch gears to rally and obedience and succeed again is just awe inspiring!  I LOVE this dog!!

Another win for pretty Teasel

 

Baby Teasel is growing up and now has points towards her championship
