MASCUSA National 2026
All I can say is WOW! God blessed us with an amazing national! I am so proud of our dogs! We ended up taking eight dogs with us this year to our national (more than ever before) and we were running, running, running! We competed in every event offered except for dock diving (and FETCH titles). So, we competed in UpDog, Herding, Agility, Rally, Obedience, FastCat, Conformation, Rally Showcase, Ultimate Performance competition, Most Versatile competition, and Scentwork. Definitely could not have gotten everything done without my parents! Mom showed in conformation, showmanship, herding, and scentwork, and both mom and dad did a lot of my fastcat runs for me. This was our first year camping out in the RV park with our trailer and we really enjoyed it! Big thank you to Butler Veterinary Services, PLLC and WELLS CHIRO/MED for keeping our dogs as healthy and happy as possible, to our mentors Bonita Rodgers , Melanie Harriman, and Naoko Blue ( Theia Zeus Eilo ) for all we’ve learned from you, to my parents for all their help and opportunities, to Mark and Will for holding down the fort while we’re gone, and to my entire Weeping Willow Miniatures, LLC team for keeping the barn running smoothly! And a big thank you to Aaron Gold Photo for these amazing memories!
