Canada

April 23-25, 2010
Cuervo traveled to Canada to begin a quest for a Canadian championship - the first Marshview dog to attempt this. In his first weekend there he went BOW (Best of Winners) and BOS (Best of Opposite Sex)all 3 days for a total of 5 points. He's halfway there!

Rally

April 25, 2010

Hogan and Rachel competed for 2 days in Fond du Lac. Hogan completed the 3rd leg of Rally Novice on Saturday with a 4th place finish to earn his RN title. On Sunday, he qualified in Rally Advanced, performing all the exercises off-leash for the first time.

At the same trial, Martha and I competed in Rally Excellent. We had not trained for this level, or seen it done before. She qualified both days! Most of the points we lost were for my mis-handling, not Martha's performance. Maybe by the 3rd leg I will figure out how to do the exercises correctly!

IKC 2010

2/27/10 The PWD Club of Chicago held its first Regional Specialty at the International Kennel Club Show in Chicago and 7 month old Maliboo "Marshview Out Ridin' The Waves" went Winners Bitch and Best of Winners for a 5 point major in her second weekend out! The IKC offered a Best In Show Puppy competition, so Maliboo went on to compete in the Puppy Working Group where she took a Group First. This put her as one of 7 puppies competing for Best In Show! After a long day in the ring, Maliboo was still "working" the crowd right until the end.

IKC 2010

2/28/10 We brought 2 brown puppies to Chicago in February: 9 month old Sadie-a brown curly (Henry and Casey) and 7 month old Maliboo-a brown wavy (Henry and Ruthie). Through 4 days of showing plus a Sweepstakes event, both girls showed well. Sadie placed in the top 2 of her class under every judge, and Maliboo won her class under 4 of the judges. Both girls are going to grow up a little bit before hitting the show road again, but we expect great things!
