5000 runners for the 2014 Turkey Trot

Kludde and I had a nice time and we heard a new breed mis-identification.  I was asked if he was a Belgian Malamute.

Three seasons in Dock Dogs, three time top Dutchie

Had a nice time at World Championship with my maturing Kludde.

Stoberprufung 3

A big thank you to Washington DC Area Gebrauchshund Club, judge Jacki Purdham, host Jennifer Zembower and photographer Dawn Ellen Miller.  We finished our Stoberprufung 3 with a score of 100 (out of 100).

Kludde and I on the radio

In the recent past I spoke with Tracie Hotchner of the Radio Pet Lady Network on her show Dog Talk.  She wished to learn more about Kludde and I participating in mondioring.

Dog Talk® (and Kitties Too)

Alex Ross Perry wrote and directedLISTEN UP PHILLIP with Jason Schwartzman and his own Fluffy the Cat as Elizabeth Moss' cat Gadzookey, who in real life is his own inspiration as a writer, along with fellow cat 

 Smokey;  Dead Dog Beach is Stephen McGarva's account of his heart breaking attempts to care for the tortured and dying dogs on the Puerto Rican beach by that name;  Melissa in Alexandria, VA describes competing with her Dutch shepherd Klude in the super tough dog sport of mondioring.

Finished U-UJ title

Earned two legs on Friday with 27.3 and 27.2 and final leg on Sunday with 28.6.  Worked on my tossing technique.

StP2 - 95/100 "SG"

Thank you to Lehigh Valley Performance K9s club and judge Heiko  Grube.

Blackie A.K.A. Riot

Met Kludde puppy last night.  She is not quite 8 weeks. She is a riot; very outgoing, bold, social, and she bit me.  LOL  Great job Matt, Thorn, Susan and your whole support team up there for all the raising!  She only stopped to answer a call of nature so the pics aren't very good.

Protecting his mistress' tricycle

With thanks to a great training director and many helpful decoys Kludde's object guard is progressing nicely.

Tips for obedience competitions from Barbara Woodhouse

The last panel in her "how to" book is below.  It seems suggestive that the exhibitor is sad and defeated after following the author's advice.

Stoberprufung-1 96/100 "V"

Big thank you to judge Ann Dolan and the Tidewater Schutzhund club for putting on a terrific trial.  Kludde and I did the "random article search" test.

He got the first one really quickly.  On the second one I made two handling mistakes.  1) I didn't sufficiently take account of the wind and how that affected the dog and 2) I thought I knew better where it was and was "pushing" the dog to search one area when in fact is was elsewhere.

Delmarva Dock Dog event

Second time competing in extreme vertical. Great group of friendly people who helped me out in many ways including showing me that he is leaving a "little" early.

Our new trick

On the other side of things

Had some fun playing with the Rogue Ringsport-sters.
