SwimDogs Jake and Brita

What to do on the day after the first snow storm of the season??  Go swimming!   This is our first visit of many I hope.  The goal is therapeutic swimming to maintain Jake's and Brita's muscles and also for fun we'd like to do  some Dock Diving!!


Brita has a pink life jacket on and Jake has a green one!

WDC Banquet and Awards

Winnegamie Dog Club always does a wonderful job of acknowledging members' achievements by adding AKC titles to a perpetual plaque and awarding certificates for other wins and achievements. Last year was Jake's year in Barn Hunt Association, LLC so he added a list of titles to his plaque and had a pile of certificates awarded to him! I'm so proud of him and he truly lives up to his nickname "Rock Star Jake"!

Added to Jake's plaque were the following Barn Hunt titles: RATO, RATS, RATM, RATCH, RATCHX, and RATCHX2.

Certificates were awarded for:

  • 29 1st place wins (15 high in Class), 11 2nd place wins and 2 ***3rd place wins (one certificate as per my request!)
  • 1st dog to achieve RATCHX in Barn Hunt
  • 2nd dog to achieve RATCHX2 in Barn Hunt
  • 2nd place in Master at Nationals
  • 1st place in Senior at Nationals (personal best of 77 seconds)
  • 2nd place and Silver Medal at Nationals
