Just a few updates about recent goings-on here! At the end of February, Ronin finished his UKC Elite Nosework title, joining our Harley as the only two EN Czechoslovakian Vlcak. We are soooo incredibly proud of them! In his career from the Recognition Tests to the end of his Elite trial, he placed first place 11 times. He is now basically retired and will probably only rarely be at trials 'for fun' - he's earned his retirement!
Ronin basically is now let 'at pasture' to be a stud and enjoy his days sleeping, eating, and chasing squirrels.
Our spring news is that today our bred-by Ashira earned her Barnhunt Instinct title and Q'd for her Novice Barnhunt title with a 3rd place in trial. She is 7 months old and being her very first trials, we are very proud of her for being able to generalize and work in a whole new venue. She was very distracted by the new environment, but managed to rally and pull it together enough to concentrate on the task at hand. We're looking forward to her future training accomplishments!
