Cover Boy on the Barn Hunt Facebook Page for August!
"Jake" earned the first RATCHX in the history of the Barn Hunt on July 27, 2014, at Waukesha, WI. Rat Champion Excellent requires that a dog earn 25 Master legs total, including the 5 earned in the RATM and the 10 earned in the RATCH! He subsequently earned another 10 legs to earn his RATCHX2 (CLICK HERE to see the facts of this journey) in October 2014 and his RATCHX3 in July 2015! In 2015, our focus turned to Dock Jumping and he is competing in the venues of Dock Dogs, NADD and Pier Pups where he has a personal best of 16'6" in Big Air (earning a Junior title and an invitation to Worlds) and 9.330 seconds in Speed Retrieve! In 2016 Jake earned his RATCHX4 in Barn Hunt, a Speed Retrieve title from Dock Dogs and is now a Nosework junkie where he has earned in 2 years his UKC Elite title!

More success!
….and a slide down the straw! In the middle of a run Jake came sliding down the side of a pile of straw. Spectators said I was less than sympathetic so I looked at the video.. I guess I was! I believe my words were: What was that all about? lol

He knew it was there….
…. I KNOW he did!!!
48 seconds into the run he gave a big sniff between these bales.
1 min 11 seconds he makes sure it’s still there.
At about 3 min. I ask him if we’re done and he goes back to the spot and pulls out
a rat tube and gives it to me as if to say.. yep! Now we’re done!
And we were!
