Watch Dottie the Danish-Swedish Farmdog in finals!! 💕💕
(8” preferred)

03/23/2026

This past weekend Dottie and I competed in the AKC National Agility Championship in California. I don’t even know how to express how PROUD I am of this little girl.

She kept all the bars up, hit all her contacts, and figured out everything I wanted her to do even if I didn’t always tell her properly because she’s just that awesome.

I go to NAC to have a good time and see friends from all over the US that we’ve met in our travels. I was excited at hanging out with all the DSF too! I love the thought of going to finals and Dottie absolutely lives for a crowd, but I never in my wildest dreams ever expected to get into finals at an event like this. There is a lot of tough competition, and Dottie is 12!!! And yet there we were on Saturday, on the finals list! I cried. 🤪

A Danish Swedish Farmdog has never made NAC finals and not one but two of us made it this year. (Congrats Debbie and Bullet!)

When I looked at the course I figured we were hosed at that weave pole entry. (And it ended up getting SO MANY dogs.) But Dottie rocked it as usual and was not only clear but ended up SECOND PLACE. To Bet (world team competitor!) which is quite the dog to stand next to. ❤️❤️❤️

Dottie is just such a freaking rockstar. 🏆

Always though, I go home with the best dog no matter what and I am so thankful for finding this breed and all the journeys Dottie is taking me on!

Gullvivebackens Cajsa Dot Matrix out of Sara Palonen and Gullvivebackens Kennel, imported from Sweden and greatly loved here in the USA!

(And a huge congratulations to all the Colorado teams - several made finals and several were crowned Champions!!)

Registration sale for your BHA number!

It's Registration Sale Time, and we're live! Use your discount code of 2025HOLIDAY until midnight CST Saturday December 13 for $26US registrations. If you don't put in the code, you don't get a discount and no, I will not refund you. Registrations are not refundable, see our policy.

Registrations increase to $34 per dog on January 1. If you are registering a puppy and are unsure of their adult height, put in their current height or a close guesstimate, but if you do that you MUST go back later and make sure that height is correct. If you are not sure you are going to keep the name that's okay too, just note that I get an email alert for every name change and may question you. Transferring numbers to a different dog is not allowed (you can't think, "Oh, I'll register Rin now then if he decides he doesn't like it I'll just transfer to Stimpy." Doesn't work that way. :)

Enjoy, and hey, post pictures of your newly registered dogs here!

New line drive accommodation! ❤️

Please see the attached screen shot. After request and upon review by the Advisory Committee, we have added a bit of information to allowed equipment in Line Drive class to enable handlers with dogs who have mobility or traction issues to wear boots in that class. The rule is ONLY for Line Drive. Boots are not allowed in any other Class. This rule clarification will be loaded up to the web this afternoon.

Happy Friday everyone, I wanted to make an announcement about Registrations in 2026, and also just talk a bit about how that works in Barn Hunt.

Since we started in 2013, we have only had two dog registration price increases. The last was in 2021 where it increased from $30 to $32. I try very hard to make registrations as reasonable as I can, but on January 1, US and Canada registrations will increase to $34 per dog. UK registrations will increase to $32 per dog.

Your registration is a one-time, lifetime fee. There are no annual memberships. Your registration also entitles you to free access of your records 24/7 where you can check your scores, download and print your title certificates, etc.

Registration fees are NOT REFUNDABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. My costs are incurred immediately up front in the creation of the record, etc. You also cannot transfer numbers from dog to dog.

Each dog can only be connected to one email. You can add co-owners and they will appear on your title certificates but they will not have access to your dog's records. However, if you want to transfer a dog to a different owner, you may do so for free. The new owner needs a login on the system, then the original owner just emails me and says they are rehoming the dog (please include BH number and new owner name/email), and gives permission for the move. Don't abuse that please (ask for transfers back and forth repeatedly).

The good news to end this is that yes, sometime in early/mid December I will run a sale. It will probably be a pop up sale, because once I announce these people start immediately registering then get very mad if the sale isn't in effect yet. Answering those emails makes me tired! No, I don't yet have a date or a price set for that sale, but it will be a good price, I promise.

Thanks for all of the support you give! Photo for tax is Vila.
