At the Fox River Field Spaniel Club Scentwork trial, Waffle picked up a 1st and 2nd placement in Advanced Containers to complete her SCA.  Pending AKC confirmation that makes her U-IA Powderhound Amaqqut Past is Present WWPDX RA NAP NJP SCA SEA SIN 

Our guys did well!

In the 60# and Under class, Waffle (red harness) placed 2nd for the season.  She also completed the requirements for the Working Weight Pull Superior title.  She is the 4th generation of ours to earn this title.

In the 61-80# class, Zenny (orange padding) placed 4th for the season.  Over this season, she completed the requirements for the Working Weight Pull Dog Excellent title and has picked up FOUR Working Weight Pull dog Superior legs over the season.  One to go!

Pickle (gray harness), completed his first weight pull season and it was a successful one!  He earned his Working Weight Pull dog title,  3 legs toward the new Working Weight Pull Dog Intermediate title, a Working Weight Pull dog Advanced leg, and 2 weeks ago, his first Working Weight Pull Dog Excellent leg! 🥹  Every pull we stopped him before he went out so I think this is -incredibly- positive.  He will be 2 in May and is Wilson x Zenny.

Saturday, under Mr. Robert Hutton, Jazmine went Winner's Bitch for a 3 point Major, Best of Winners, and Best of Opposite Sex!!   She now has both of her majors and has 9 out of 15 points towards her championship!!  

(co-owned with the Watts family)

😳 In the space of like, 40 minutes, Nanner went from not having points to having 6. Both majors, one a Specialty. It's still a 'slow blink' moment, I just cannot believe it. George's response was appropriate "I am sorry what?" That drive home from MN was the "shortest" ever.  

Thanks to Bev for the support and letting us use Wilson. And to the fellow Mal people who offered suggestions. Everyone has been so nice about both boys and it's appreciated. Nan and Pick are out of our 2023 Wilson x Zenny litter.

To boot, both boys passed their eye clearances 😊

Waffle had a great weekend at the WWCDTC scentwork trials! 8 for 8 on her runs and 2 second placements and a third. In the rest of her runs I think she was consistently 5th. Not bad, they were good sized classes and I do wait for her to give the alert I want, even if I know she's got it. 

She finished her Advanced Exteriors and Novice Interiors to become U-IA Powderhound Amaqqut Past is Present WWPDS* RA NAP NJP SCN SEA* SIN* out of our 2020 Womble x Nellie litter. 

Every single dog did something cool!
