The Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Watchung is holding their annual draft test and Regional Specialty in Bethlehem, PA this weekend. It looks like an amazing show/site — I might need to put this on my calendar for next year.
Just a little jaunt…
Uncle Clark (Daisy’s littermate) finished his Master Draft Dog title yesterday…

Fantastic accomplishment for Team Clark. This title requires passing open draft five times under seven different judges — not an easy feat for all kinds of reasons. Congratulations to Toby and Clark!
Uncle Tristan (an iPup) has been teaming up with Phil Atkinson and his dog, Kelyn, to collect brace legs.

The team has worked well together — and I mean both the human team of the Atkinsons and Jaskiewiczs and the dog team of Kelyn and Tristan…

It was another successful day for Team Kelyn/Tristan — they passed the brace run and that made Tristan a Grand Master Draft Dog…

That is a really Big Deal. Very Big Deal. Congratulations to that entire team! I love both the accomplishment and also how the two families collaborated to make it happen — how cool is that?! I am reminded of this from Peloton — together we go far.
Kelyn needs one more leg to finish his Grand Master Draft Dog — we are cheering for that to happen soon.
Maple Moonshadow has every right to be proud of her Uncle Clark and her Uncle Tristan — and also because she has an awesome fall name and is doing so well as a Therapy Dog…
Thanks to Lee and Adri for the photo
Have an outstanding fall day.
