Kicking off the show season for 2026!
✨MERLIN OD DINARE✨
This was baby Merlin's first set shows and, boy, was it a lot of shows! Last weekend he competed all weekend in the Lucky Dog Classic in Winston-Salem. He earned himself a Best of Breed and Group 2! Yippy! 🏆
Then onward to the Tarheel Cluster in Raleigh - 5 days of shows! He did stellar, taking 2 Best of Opposites! This is such a huge accomplishment for a 4mo old puppy to be placed over mature dogs and we are beyond proud of him!
He conducted himself wonderfully (for the most part 😂) and got a ton of belly rubs at Meet the Breeds.
✨"DAGON" TAZ HRVATSKA DIKA✨
Dagon did great as always. Snatching up 6 Best of Breeds and 3 Best of Opposites over the course of the shows!
For the 3rd time, Dagon made breed history 🙌 He is the very first Tornjak to compete in FCAT (Fast Coursing Ability Test) proving that Tornjaks can hold their own in dog sports!! FCAT is a 100-yard dash where dogs chase a lure and are judged on their speed. As some of the workers noted, "that big dog can MOVE!" 😎
🐾🐾Overall, it was a successful 2 weekends and the dogs had fun, which is always our biggest priority. It was great to see friends and we can't wait for their next adventure!
