"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!

Practice for the speed retrieve!
Thanks Rick Laes for the awesome photos of us practicing for the SPEED RETRIEVE at the DOCK DOG event at the Winnebago County Fair!!
I brought him to the front of the dock to see the bumper at the end of the 40 foot pool and then pulled him back excitedly 20 feet and then let him go! He never took his eyes off of the prize!! (well …Yes… maybe he closed them as he was hitting the water!!)
