Further Afield
It’s all about killing it in field competition lately. Kudos to Tess for completing an AKC Field Championship at just 25 months of age with an all breed Open stake major win. Also winning field trial stakes were Raffi with a Grand Amateur Limited stake win, Georgia with an Amateur Walking Derby win, Filly with a pair of Amateur Walking Puppy wins, Singas with an Open major stake win and Kenni with an Amateur major stake win. Getting it done in NAVHDA Natural Ability testing Hawkeye notched a maximum score of 112.

Sweet Success
Two high drive and extremely talented and very well trained go-getters hit the national stage and put on quite a show in their respective fields. Leading the charge, Sterling nailed one blisteringly fast and squeaky clean run after another to win her height division of the AKC National Agility Invitational tournament handled by her boss Lori Barbee. The teenager Tecate really earned her field trial stripes with a very ambitious ground race and classy broke birdwork to win the WCA National Field Futurity, with many thanks to Stacie Roberts for prepping and guest handling her at that event. Kudos to everyone on team Sterling and team Tecate for showing once again it’s not just what you do, but how you do it, that really counts.
