Written by Clutch's owner, Skye Mecum.

Clutch, or his registered name 'Irish's Shifting Gears At Clover Leaf", does exactly that, shift gears. He does mobility assistance,which can look like a lot of things. Between, forward momentum, and counter balance, item retrieval and brace work, but one thing is he shifts gears. One minute I'll be expecting him to behave in public then we go hunting or dock diving. He is and has tested my abilities and adaptability, heck somethings we've even had to start from scratch on. Yet, he is always willing to try and do what I ask. I'm not perfect and neither is he, but he has shown the willingness and drive, so I match his energy. Without him I wouldn't have a solid dog and without his amazing breeders he wouldn't be here. So, thank you for allowing us to be a team and trusting me with one of your pups, who isn't such a puppy anymore.

Ran across this old video from the 2017 MCBRC Supported Entry. What a fine example of correct & sound structure allowing these dogs to still be competitive at the ages of 8 years 4 months ~ Foreman - GCH* Irish's I'm A Knock Out, 9 years 9 months ~ Sadie - GCH Irish's Tigress Of The Knight, 13 years 10 months! ~ Sue - CH* Irish's Lady Of Clover Leaf.

Foreman went on this day to Best of Breed/ Grp 4

Day 2 - Just before ring time, a mysterious case of 'swimmers tail' set in......great - not! Still, Joker earned Winners for 2 points, Best of Winners and Best of Breed Owner Handled over Special competition. Needless to say, we didn't stay for OH Group. Of course, by the time we got back home a couple of hours later his tail was 90% improved. 😕Oh well, that's the way the dog biscuit crumbles sometimes. 🐾Thank you Judge Christine E Calcinari for the win and nice comments about Joker.

For the most part he had fun but if you asked Joker, he'd rather be hunting!!
