Agility

2/1/14 Think Pawsitive in New Berlin.  Maliboo was dead-on with her 10th straight Q in Excellent Jumpers, but the big news today was Cuervo.  He literally "struck gold" with a 3rd Place finish in Open Jumpers for a New Title!  So proud of my big guy keeping his focus and following my lead.  A little too much enthusiasm on the table and a mis-direction from me cost him a Standard Q, but we went home pretty happy today!

Conformation/Agility

January 23-25, 2014 Big combo weekend: In Grayslake on Friday, Joey was Best of Opposite, Maliboo Select Bitch with Julie handling, and Page Best of Winners for another 2 pts. (she's at 11 now!)

On Saturday and Sunday, Maliboo came back up to Oshkosh for agility where she continued her streak in Excellent Jumpers - she's at 9 straight qualifying runs now, giving her 6 legs toward her Masters title already.  Now if she could just break the jinx in Standard...

Birthday

Happy birthday to the "U" litter (Maliboo x Drifter) who turned 2 on January 20th!

Puppies!

Velma's puppies arrived 1/2/14 - 8 hearty babies who, at almost 2 weeks old, are looking and moving around.  We have 5 girls and 3 boys, all wavy.  Velma is a great mom, attentive, nourishing, already bringing them toys. The Zesty Z's are here!  For additional photos, see Marshview Kennels on facebook.

Conformation

St. Paul 1/2-1/5/14  We had a fantastic start to the New Year in MN.  On Friday, it was all-in-the-family day:  Joey Best of Breed, Maliboo (mom) Best of Opposite Sex, and 9 mo. old Page (Maliboo daughter) Winner's Bitch for 2 points.  On Saturday, Page stunned us all when she was named Best of Opposite - over 4 Bitch Specials - for a 4 point major! That's 9 points now. Maliboo and Joey were Select out of 20+ entries.  Today,  Page stayed in the ribbons as Reserve Winner, Joey was Select, and mama Maliboo was Best of Breed!  Thanks to Julie for grooming, and our wonderful handlers Tammy, Laura and Robyn

Agility

12/29/13 Oshkosh.  Maliboo picked up the last leg for her AX (Exc. Standard) title this weekend, finishing with a 3rd place ribbon and a Double Q for the day.  In Excellent Jumpers, she has now qualified in all 7 of her runs, giving her 4 legs toward her MXJ title already!  For 2013, she and owner Julie have earned 6 agility titles, 2 Barn Hunt titles and a BROM.  Quite a year for this dynamic duo!

 

Barn Hunt

12/15/13  Maliboo did it again - a new Barn Hunt title!  She got her 2nd leg on Saturday with a 1st place in the Open Large class, and the 3rd leg on Sunday for her RATO title.  She had another1st place in the Large class AND was High In Trial with the fastest time in the Open classes (she found the 2 rats in 33 seconds) :-)  Now that's a working dog!  Congrats to Boo and owner Julie.
