At age 11, Baxter will always be my first Nose Work teammate and was a fun Agility partner, always happy to be working (or playing) his favorite sports. Baxter’s current titles include NW3x2, plus all 4 Element titles (K9 Nose Work), AKC Scent Work HDN (Handler Discrimination), SWN (AKC Scent Work Novice title), PSD SWA (PSD Scent Work Advanced), TDE (Trick Dog Expert title), and was trialing at Open level NADAC Agility when we retired him in 2019. He also enjoys Rally Obedience, Freestyle (Heeling to Music) and has dabbled in Flyball. But accomplishments notwithstanding; Baxter is a wonderful, entertaining companion.
Rhonda is the baby of the family. At three years of age, she is still full of puppy antics. I’m beginning to wonder if she’ll ever outgrow it. In spite of that, she has already earned titles in Trick Dog (Expert), K9 Nose Work (ORT, NW1 & NW2), AKC Scent Work Advanced and Masters Barn Hunt title. We are just dabbling in tracking, AKC CAT (lure coursing) and Fast-Cat (100-yard dash). Ronni LOVES to run fast! Stay tuned!
I’ll be adding additional content here as I develop this site. I’m hoping Baxter and Ronni will find lots of followers who will enjoy watching their dog sports videos as well as following their everyday and travel antics. More to come!
I am saddened to announce that Rhonda and Baxter (and I) lost a very special “big sister” (to the weens) in October, 2020. Abby was unashamedly my “heart-dog” 💗, and a large part of our household for 13 years. She passed peacefully over the Bridge in my arms, taking a piece of my heart with her for safekeeping until we are reunited. Her impact on our lives was huge. She is forever in my heart.
RIP sweet angel
