Nosework

7/19/15 I've gotten a little behind, so let me try to catch up on Marshview news!  We now have 2 dogs with the NW1 title - the first title in Nosework, a new AKC sport where your dog has to sniff out different odors hidden in odd places.  Since the handler also doesn't know where the items are hidden, it's a real exercise in team work, learning to "read" your dog when they try to tell you they have found something.  Congratulations to Trio on earning her title this month, and belated congrats to our 1st NW1 dog, Marko, who earned his in Sept. of last year!

Obedience

6-7-15  Cuervo and Maliboo have been working in a new venue - AKC Obedience.  The Novice level requires 3 qualifying scores to receive the Companion Dog (CD) title.  This weekend, Maliboo earned a 3rd Place score on her 3rd leg to achieve the CD title!  Cuervo qualified for his 2nd leg.  Good day!

1/30-2/1/15 Chicago - IKC shows.  We sent a number of Marshview kids to this 3 day event.  Cinder, competing in the 6-9 month class, won her Sweeps class both days, and showed admirably.  Joey competed in Best of Breed and was chosen Select Dog on both Friday and Saturday, our Regional Specialty day.  His mother Maliboo competed with him as well, owner-handled as always by Julie.  One other Maliboo pup, Smolder, only came for the Regional Specialty on Saturday.  From the 6-9 mo. class (he is Cinder's brother), he was Winners Dog and Best of Winners for a 5 point major!!  His mom achieved this same feat at this same show in 2010. Like her he was also Best Puppy and went on to compete in the Puppy Working Group.  He took home a Group 4!  Very proud of Maliboo, and all these offspring.
