New title!

Dec. 3, 2010 Hogan just added a new Rally title to his name: he is now AKC/UKC CH Marshview Hesumkindawonderful RA CGC. He was a star at the Rally trial today taking 2nd place in Rally Advanced A. Owner/handler Rachel was so proud of him. Go Hogan - 2 titles in less than 3 weeks!

UKC

November 2010 Two Marshview owners decided to try their hand at UKC conformation. Unlike AKC, there are fewer area shows, but when they are held, there can be 4 shows in 2 days. Which is how it happened that we now have 2 new UKC champions (already AKC champs)! 16 month old Maliboo went in with 1st-time owner/handler Julie and took Winner's Bitch all 4 shows. Rachel, who previously won AKC points with 3 year old Hogan, took Winner's Dog/Best of Winners the first 3 shows (Maliboo was BOW and new CH in the last show), and Best of Breed in 2 out of 3 of those, including a Group 4 placement! That earned him a CH, and moved him up into the Champion class for the last show where he went Best of Breed again over other champions! Kudos to these owners for trying a new way to work/have fun with their dogs.

Ft. Wayne, IN

Gabbie is a New Champion! Gabbie "Marshview's Keep 'Em All Talkin'" was entered for 2 of 5 days in Ft. Wayne, where there were enough dogs entered for majors all 5 days! On 11/3/10, her first day there, she was Winners Bitch for 4 points, giving her the 2nd "major win" she needed to earn her championship. Now maybe she can grow that lion clip out before the winter cold hits:)

Also, Sadie "Marshview's No Holding Sadie Back" could not be held back in Springfield, IL last week where she scored HER first major, from the 12-18 mo. class. Go Sadie! We hope to see more from her later in the month.

Belarus

August 2010 Lex (Martha x Walker 2008) competed in an international show in Belarus. His Best of Breed win on Saturday - after a 12 hour bus ride to get to the show - earned him a Belarus championship. Then he went on to win the Group#2 competition! Lex won BOB again on Sunday. He now has 2 certificates from foreign countries plus his home country,Finland, well on his way to an "international champion" title.

Lake Elmo, MN

August 30, 2010 It just keeps getting better and better! Today at the Northstar Working Group show, Maliboo was awarded Winner's bitch for the second time out of this 4 show cluster. I had already returned home, but heard from spectators that it was a very deserving win. With this third major, she is now CH Marshview Out Ridin' The Waves. Maliboo was expertly groomed by her owner Julie, a first-time PWD owner!

Water trial

August 29, 2010 What a great weekend at the Chicago water trial. "Relay" (Marshview's Eva Line to Shore) passed her Courier Water Dog (CWD) test on Saturday - with a repeat performance on Sunday! Relay and owner Midge have been working really hard at this advanced level. They were SO close last year, but didn't quite make it. Big congratulations to a fabulous team!

Water Trial

August 28, 2010 Marshview Kennels is proud to announce a new water title!! Trio (CH Marshview Harmony) and owner Barb tried out for Trio's first water title in Sterling Lake, Illinois. The Portuguese Water Dog Club of Greater Chicago hosted the trial on a beautiful day and the duo was successful - Trio earned her Apprentice Water Dog title, one of the more technically difficult ones to achieve. Barb & Trio have been honing their water skills and teamwork during much of this very warm summer. Hearty congratulations to the new working team - all your hard work paid off!
