Our Ayla puppy, or as Wrenley calls her “Layla Puppy” from a few weeks ago🩵

Everytime I look at her I’m just overwhelmed with joy that she’s back home with us, and that she’s such a perfect example of what I was hoping to produce at the same time. This dog is so nice, and I know I’m biased because we bred her, but even super objectively.. Ayla is such a nice dog. She has such a sense about her, just like Marek has, a “been there done that” attitude even if she hasn’t done something before. She’s quiet, cuddly, thinks about everything, gentle with the baby, she has not reacted to anything since she’s been home even with our crazy house, she’s polite and nice with the other dogs, and also has super high food and ball drive for the work. And on top of all that, structurally she’s also gorgeous. I hate that it took three years to get her back, but we are just overjoyed that everything worked out in the end and she’s back home. We are obsessed with her and excited for her future here 🩵

Marek has been loving retirement, he is turning out to be an excellent blood tracking dog and I’m excited to keep getting him experience in it! He loves this style of tracking, it’s fast paced and he gets to run through the woods, swamps, and fields at the same time. It is so cool watching him work these types of tracks, he will even point out spots of blood to me like he would an article. Just a sheppie boy in a hound dog world 🖤

He went trick or treating with us on Halloween night, him and Wren dressed up as T-Rexes, and Austen and I went as Jurassic Park handlers. He was so good the whole night, lots of kids running around screaming and he only ever loose leash walked next to Wren and I, and watched her intently as she went up to people’s houses. Such a good man 🦖

We are in the middle of building a barn, so have kept ourselves super busy with that. We should have it shelled in soon and potentially have a place to train in before the weather gets super cold here, so I’m super excited to see all of it come together, Austen and the guys have been working so hard on it.

I have been busy enough to not be super sad over Marek’s retirement lately, but I know it will sting when we get back into more active training and I’m not loading him in with the girls. He is just the best dog, in just about every way 🖤

Happy Halloween from my T-Rex and his shark daughter 🦖🦈🖤🧡

We love when our friends get to come stay with us, and we’re already counting down the days until you guys come back!

Buffy is sooo Marek coded, and hilariously is also his twin. Just two yellow collar puppies. I love this duo so much 💛💛

Should Megan and Buffy move to MI ????

SG Engel Auf Der Marquis IGP3x5, KKL, PSA-PDC, Marek, is officially retired 🖤

I’ve been dreading this post, and even now I’m sitting here choking on my sobs trying not to fall apart over it. What do I say about the dog who’s given me everything? How can I even begin to put into words the amount of pride, thankfulness, and love I have for this dog, and in turn this sport BECAUSE of this dog? I have the friends I do because of Marek, I have my girls Ayla and Winnie because of Marek, I’m the trainer I am today because of Marek and his lessons.

His retirement feels like the end of an era for Austen and I. He is the last dog that we were still working that grew up in a club setting, a club I’m so thankful we got to be apart of for almost 6 years. I miss that club, the Sundays working dogs all day, and its people so much, and retiring Marek feels like the last chapter of that book too.

I’d love to say that I’m not sad over this, but I am. I can’t believe I’m never going to step on a trial field again with the dog who started it all for me. I’m not ready to be known as anything other than “the girl with Marek”, that’s who I’ve been for almost 8 years now. Whether it’s because he’s my first sport dog, or just because he’s exactly my type of dog and I got lucky the first time, I’m scared I will never have the exact same feelings on a field as I do with him. I hope I do, but I know deep down I’ll be searching for parts of him in every dog that comes next. He’s perfect, and this journey with him has been life altering, amazing, some of the best times of my life.

Happy Retirement Big Dog, thank you for everything 🖤

Some of my favorites pictures from all of his trials, from his recent PDC all the way back to his BH🥹

This last weekend we traveled up to MN for Twin Cities PSA trial, and Marek earned his PSA-PDC title under Judge Johnathon Katz! It was my first time ever getting to visit a PSA trial, and it was so much fun. Sarah and Matt and their group are so welcoming, organized, and skilled, the judging was spectacular, we are so glad we decided to make the trip!

The first people I want to thank are the people that have had the most influence in Marek and I’s sport career together, John Bochenek and his wife Chelsea. We started training with John when Marek was just a baby (an angry huge baby but still), and because of them and the training over the years there Marek and I were able to earn 5 IGP3’s together. Marek has only been on a suit 5 times before this last weekend, and the first two times were on John years ago when we were celebrating a new IGP3. Over the years he also taught and made Austen into a fantastic helper, which has given us the knowledge to keep training ourselves even without consistent club. He even gave Austen a suit to borrow so Marek could get a few sessions in before he trialed. We seriously can’t thank them enough for everything!

A huge thank you to all of the decoys who caught Marek this weekend during the trial, and Scott, Tyler, and Isaiah who worked him leading up to it. It was so beneficial for him to work on people other than Austen to trial prep, appreciate you guys so much!

Many thanks to my mom (who even made the trip out with us) and our village back at home, for always being willing to help with Wren so Austen and I can work the dogs. This all would be so much harder without you guys and we’re so thankful we have people to help with parenthood so we don’t have to sacrifice getting to do things like this still.

The biggest thank you goes to Austen, who supports me in every way possible. Thank you for listening to my rants, driving us everywhere, letting my dog turn your arm black and blue, always figuring out how to make my plans come together, and for so much more.

Big Dog.. I have so many words and none at the same time.. Happy Retirement, you have more than earned it, but more on that later when I can collect myself 😭🥳❤️🎉
