9/19/15 Announcing our newest AKC champion: Marshview's Fireball. Junie was Winners' Bitch/Best of Winners today in Sheboygan to nab the last point she needed to earn her CH.  Better yet, she was also Best of Opposite Sex - to brother Smolder, CH Marshview Great Ballz of Fire. What a great accomplishment for this brother-sister duo from the Fire litter (Maliboo x Mister), who are only 16 months old.

Sept. 12-13, 2015 What a fabulous, fun weekend in Noblesville, IN despite frigid temps and a blustery breeze.  Smolder and Journey competed for Working Water Dog, Margaret for Junior and Maliboo for Courier.  In marathon runs (due to blowing and drifting articles), Smolder and Journey both passed on Saturday.  For Smolder that was 3 titles this summer: Junior at the National in August, Apprentice in August in Chicago, and now Working. Journey also just earned her Apprentice in Chicago. Just for good measure, both dogs repeated their winning performances on Sunday!  Margaret had puppy zoomies on Saturday, but was focused and energetic on Sunday.  Despite the cool weather, and waves much bigger than she's ever seen on my pond, she passed Junior Water Dog with flying colors! Nothing fazed my strong little swimmer.  Julie opted to pull Maliboo on Saturday as the weather had gotten much worse by afternoon, but the dynamic duo was on first thing Sunday morning.  Maliboo has those first 4 exercises down to a science, but is still in training for the Buoy Ball Drop.  Next year she and Smolder can work on this together!

August 21, 2015 Lake Elmo, MN Regional Specialty.  A beautiful day in MN, and a good one for the Marshview crew too!  Smolder was chosen Best in Puppy Sweepstakes; his sister Junie was the Best of Opposite Sex.  Awesome recognition honor for these kids!  Joey was Best of Breed for the 2nd year in a row, so can add MBISS before his name now.  Smolder earned an Award of Merit - great accomplishment for a 15 month old.  All these dogs are Maliboo pups, and mama herself took to the ring in the Brood Bitch competition. With sons Joey and Smolder, Maliboo was given 1st Place. Many thanks to our marvelous handlers, willing owners, and our cheering supporters there.  We love you!
