This weekend Calypso and Eevee received their official invite to the 2026 AKC Rally National Championship. I am so proud of both of these girls and how much they give to me every time we step foot into the ring.

Another health test passed! Eevee had blood drawn back in February for her OFA Thyroid.

I still plan to do her OFA hip and elbow finals at the end of this year. I will also potentially upgrade the basic cardiac to an echo to be extra safe although I have no concerns there truthfully.

But so far her results are looking good and I hope it stays that way!

You win some, you lose some, and this past weekend we did a bit of both.

This was the first weekend I’ve truly put Eevee to the test with both showing and tons of sports. She competed in nosework, rally, obedience and conformation.

In nosework she ended up with 2 new titles, Novice Vehicles (NV) and Novice Exterior (NE). She also earned 1 leg in Novice Interior and is now one leg from her NN (novice all elements) title.

Next up was obedience. I much prefer rally to obedience but I have to say I think Eevee prefers ob. She loves being pet and praised in between exercises. She might be the dog that pushes me to try it more. She earned 2 Q’s (195 3rd place and 194.5 2nd place) to wrap up her Pre-Novice OB title (PN).

Rally is my comfort zone but leave it to Eevee to keep me on my toes. She earned 2 Q’s (93 4th place and 96) in RO3B and is now 1 short from URO3.

We struck out in the show ring this weekend. While that’s disappointing, we shared the ring with some wonderful dogs and handlers whom I love dearly. Congrats to everyone.

We had some photos taken of Eevee in Jefferson! We also managed to get some pictures with her full brother Ezra. 🐩

What a fun start to our weekend in Jefferson, GA! For the first time ever we attended a stand alone nosework trial. It was so fun to just focus on nosework for a day and to not rush in-between rounds of other events at a cluster.

—Advanced Containers—
Eevee didn’t qualify in either round of her advanced containers. She alerted on a toy hidden in the boxes for both trials. Training error on my part for not practicing distractions! 🤷🏻‍♀️

—Novice Interior—
The interior searches here were very different from other UKC trials I’ve done. Instead of random obvious items on the floor it was a corner of a room with a chair, wheelbarrow and other non-conspicuous things. Trial 1 she was confused about what we were doing but in trial 2 she figured out the game and got a Q!
T2 0:55:33 3rd place novice A

—Novice Exterior—
I was shocked how well she did here! She alerted very quickly. I think at this point eevee had warmed up and was ready to really work.
T1 0:19:45 1st place novice A
T2 0:28:34 3rd place novice A

—Novice Vehicle—
Despite having never practiced vehicle (thanks snow) we qualified in both trials! She gave me some solid head whips as we passed the car bumpers with odor which made it easy to call alert. I think she actually liked this element quite a bit.
T1 0:27:09 3rd place novice A
T2 01:30:31 3rd place novice A

She’s now 1 novice interior q away from her NN title (novice nosework all elements title)! Which I hope to get soon. I’m so proud of Beav for her hard work today. Now we are off to bathe her for the conformation ring. Did I mention that we also have pre-novice obedience and RO3 rally this weekend? Shewwww… 😴

I've made a ton of updates to the website lately. Most of the dogs now have a photo gallery on their page instead of just 3 photos. I also have updated health testing, titles, and etc for 2026 so far.

Check it out if you'd like!

Rare breed best in show goes to… the Multicolored Standard Poodle!

Eevee showed so well today and brought home a pretty sweet prize. She earned 3 more V1 ratings, her International Champion title, a group 3, and a best in show!

We are now home resting up for yet another big show weekend in just 4 days.

What a day! We headed over to Competitive Edge Agility & Dog Sports, LLC bright and early this am for some AKC rally. Calypso was on fire and made wonderful progress on her RACH. Eevee made her off leash debut in AKC and did much better than I expected!

Now to head home and rest.
