Agility

November-December 2017 Margaret and I finally figured out what it takes to be a team in agility.  After struggling with confidence issues, I became her cheerleader and she blossomed.  Finished her Novice Agility title in November, and Q'd her first 2 times in Open.  At Hounds For The Holidays in December, she got her first Open Jumpers leg and finished her Open Standard title. What a fun little dog to run!

August 19-20, 2017 Pleasant Prairie, WI.  The Chicago area PWD Club held their annual water trial under beautiful conditions.  Margaret and Balooga were both competing for their Working Water Dog title. Margaret was a star on Saturday and got her title.

 On Sunday, I competed again with Margaret and she again qualified!  This time Balooga and Julie qualified as well.  Two WWDs in this trial.  A very good weekend for Marshview!

August 13, 2017  The fourth puppy from our Gem litter (Journey x Blue) is now pointed in the AKC ring! Antia, with her owner Mark - a first time owner-handler, showing his first PWD at his first weekend show - was chosen Winners Bitch for her first point in Cudahy on Sunday.  Marshview Antia Strata'Gem and Mark were very poised and confident in the ring.  Congratulations to these two. I look forward to many more good things from them!

Antia's mother Journey (CH Marshview Won't Stop Believing RN CGC WWD) was Best of Opposite at the same show, and her sister Dyna (CH Marshview This Gem Glides) was on hand to cheer her on.  What a great opportunity for a family photo!
