    AKC:

    In AKC, Quinn earned just two titles, but one of them was a lot of work starting from absolute zero just eight months ago!

    NACSW:

    In National Association of Canine Scent Work competition, Quinn earned seven titles:

    NW2 (FEB)
    L1V (Vehicle Element) (MAY)
    NW3-E (NW3 Element, Exterior) (JUNE)
    NW3-V (NW3 Element, Vehicles) (OCTOBER)
    NW3 (OCTOBER)
    NW3 #2 (OCTOBER)
    NW3-I (NW3 Element, Interiors) (OCTOBER)

    Only one more NW3 title to go for Elite.

    The Blazin’ Q litter owners group has been a real treat to be a part of. The brothers and sisters see each other often and really enjoy summer outings at the pool together. They are great ambassadors for the breed.

  • Storm SH

    November 7, 2021 / Diane Orth

    Storm and I took a break from obedience and dove into field this year. After a rough start, failing in our first test, October 16th, Storm did a wonderful job. She finished her SH title November 7th, in a total of 5 tests. Training for senior was a big learning curve for me, but with the help of our CRFCRC friends we did it! I am very proud of this girl, she earned her UDX, OM2 and Senior this year!

    November 3, 2021 / Patty & Joe Johnstone

  • Stella is a Junior Hunter!

    October 31, 2021 / Dana and Brendan Foley

    Timberblacs North Star JH WC CGC, Stella, became a Junior Hunter at the Susquehana Retriever Club’s Hunt Test. This girl gave me a run for my money (and a couple of donations to other clubs!) before we finally got it together on water and passed her 4th JH leg. A great team effort from my training friends to get us through some bumps in the road. Watching Stella’s progression made it all worthwhile!

  • Puppy Group 1!

    Baby girl, Athercroft Taco Dirty to Me ‘Dizzy’, was awarded a 4-6 month puppy group 1 at the Doswell VA show on Saturday. She then followed that up with a puppy group 4 the next day! Dizzy is owned by Ruth Marsh and Dee Turkelson.
