Working Dogs

One of the positive aspects of occasionally breeding Berners is celebrating amazing accomplishments that happen because a great dog was placed with the exact right human. Yesterday was such a day.

Tristan, one of the iPups (Fil x Zoey), completed his Utility Dog title yesterday with his supremely talented trainer/human, Alison; he also earned High Combined at the trial and his first UDX leg. [I know this is new stuff to some and so click HERE to read about AKC obedience.]

Tristan’s registered name now goes something like this: GCH CH PACH Kaibab's Invitation To The Dance VCD2 UD MXP5 MXPS MJP4 MJPB PAX XFP ANDD MDD ABNDD. Wowza.

Congratulations to Team Tristan!

Tristan is Sparkle’s littermate, and so is great-uncle to the Bright Stars. He is also closely related to the Moonshadows on both sides of their pedigree. Bright Star Zuber Heze (and Sparkler Kiri) share their lives with Tristan and his humans, Alison and Tom.

Just getting started are Moonshadows Obi Hunter and Porter Buck, who are attending a puppy class together…

I love that the brothers get to see each other!

Obi also got to visit with his canine dad, Pippin!

The Boise Area Crew is growing, and it also includes two Bright Stars. Cindy shared that a large family dinner was no big deal for Bright Stars Atlas Sun…

I am so grateful for the photos and updates — thank you!

Since we decided to go to the National Specialty in May, we are in high training gear around here. Daisy will finally get to be in a draft test…

It is wonderful to be in training mode again.

Happy Sunday to you!
