So, Ukulele had her 5th Birthday at the Jersey Shore Cluster. This show had CAT, FastCat, and Dock Diving, on top of conformation. We decided to try the FastCat, and she ran between 22.15-23.36 miles per hour to get her BCAT title. I am not sure if I ever will do it again, but it … More FAST CAT trial in New Jersey

Mazikeen, … More Annapolis and Carrol Kennel Club
Well, with Mazie, we are still working on impuse control and walking up. We are geting a much more thoughtful, deliberate driving, but she often will lean with her shoulder to try and get around to the butts to bring them back on a gather. She is also very “sticky” in giving her stock up … More Mazikeen – Cathy Hartley – Dayton TN – Road Trip Leg 1
