Puff & Biscuit joined littermate Cannoli in the sport of Scent Work.
Puff is owned by Ashley & Henry McLeod and Elizabeth Staley.
One year old Puff earned her Scent Work Novice Exterior title in 2025.
Ashely tells us: "Puff is a lover of naps and the finer things in life. While she would rather be snuggling than working, she has been a patient junior's dog for her young handler, Henry.

Biscuit, owned by Ashley & George McLeod and Elizabeth Staley really put her nose to good use and earned 3 Scent Work titles (Novice Containers, Novice Exterior and Novice Interiors). George and Biscuit won High in Trial at their last Scent Work trial!! She also flexed her muscles picking up her Fit Dog Bronze title.
Ashley shares: "Biscuit is always ready to go! She has only one speed, fast! Everything she does is with great enthusiasm. Her young handler George adores her, and they have been so much fun to watch."

Best wishes to our Junior Handler brothers with these sweet sisters. We hope you reach all your goals!

Who let the Terri3rs out??
Ask Mary & Tony Sweany and Joan Lutz. This is their crew of Norfolks!!
Georgie gets this party started. He kept his nose busy in 2025 in the sport of Scent Work earning his SW Interior Novice to complete his overall Scent Work Novice title then he jumped into Advanced with a title in Buried.
Mary says: "We are so proud of Georgie. He has accomplished so much even with a disability. As a team it is a privilege to be his mom and it's so cool to see him hunt."

Next up is Mika. He also spent plenty of time in 2025 using his nose in Scent Work earning his SW Exterior Excellent and his SW Excellent overall titles.
Mary tells us: "Mika is so happy to hunt. He is always happy and very un-Norfolk T3rrier like. He is happy to do anything we want. Great job, Mika!"

Tobias tried something different in 2025 and took to the farm passing his Farm Dog Certification.
Mary shares: "Tobias is my boy! He loves working but is now getting older. He spends most of his time reminding Georgie that HE is my dog. He is a sweet boy."

Joan Lutz and Mary co-own Reign. In 2025, Reign was a star in the Conformation ring earning her Breed Championship. She also revved up her engine on the Fast CAT track, earning both her BCAT and DCAT titles.
Joan & Mary tell us: "What to say about Reign? She is a beautiful conformation dog, but she is the hardest headed N0rfolk T3rrier that I have ever had but I still love her."

We know that the N0rfolk crew will continue to do great things!

Introducing Lisa Meyer's boy, Geddy. In trial year 2025, Geddy earned his ACT2 and passed his Canine Good Citizen test.

Lisa shares with us: "Geddy is my sociable Löwchen. Although he is a championship cuddler Geddy is also my wild child. His registered name is Bon Idee's I Will Choose Free Will and boy does he live up to his name. This often causes challenges since his "will" is to visit people and other dogs and to sniff the floor mats for treats. Geddy and I did not compete much in 2025, but he did earn his ACT2 and his CGC. We hope to compete a bit more in 2026. In the meantime, he will continue to rack up the cuddle points at home."

Best of luck in 2026, Geddy. Your championship cuddler title is the most important one!

This little cutie belongs to Elisa Freeman. Maddie made her debut in the competition world in 2024 by achieving her DCAT, ACT1 & ACT2J titles. In 2025, she followed those up with her Trick Dog Novice title.
Elisa tells us: "Maddie is the family's party machine. She truly lives up to her namesake, the children's storybook character, Madeline. Always the smallest, but never timid; always mischievous and competitive, and never afraid to try something new. This tiny red head lives at the speed of light and is an absolute blast at Fast CAT, Agility and tricks. Maddie also loves Scent Work, which of course she approaches as a competitive event. At the same time, she's the first to come in close for snuggles and kisses."

Best of luck, Maddie. We know you have great plans for your future competitions.
