It is always one of my favorite experiences to travel down to Auntie Terri’s House. She has helped me grow as a handler SO MUCH, learning to be comfortable and confident, as well as getting my dogs comfortable and poised while driving long distances and doing farm work.

I only entered a few days as a buffer to make sure Chunky finished, and one day because my friend Virginia entered. Mazikeen is starting to get ready to retire, so I only entered her a few days.

We came back to Flying Bucket after Nita Nee, so we could continue progesterone tests on Mazikeen. We did a lot of small pen work (Mazikeen here) under pressure, as well as working on driving fundamentals, holding pressure, and moving through things with the entire gang. Fiddle and Mazikeen also worked on some advanced arena … More More Work at Flying Bucket
My Mazikeen went with me to the Nita Nee kennel club in Center Hall, PA. It was supposed to be on the way home, but she came into season and plans changed. She wound up taking a group placement under Sandra Walker, and an Owner Handled Group placement under Carolyn Herbal. It was a wonderful … More Nita Nee Kennel Club
