Shredder

We found some old photos of Masher's mom, Shredder. I regret not taking more photos and videos of my little girl.

 

 

 

I miss you everyday Shredder but am ever grateful for the legacy you left behind.

Masher ~ 2011 AKC Invitational

So this was not our weekend at the AKC Invitational... Well at least not with Mushy :)

We had an oopsie in round two and I touched Masher .... I didn't even realize it until later. Masher ran clean, fast and hard the rest of the rounds. Hopefully we get another chance at this in the future.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ella on the other hand had 4 clear rounds and we made it into the finals. That pretty much blew my mind. It was pretty stressful as she has been known to fly off her contacts, pop out of the weaves and we just got her teeter back not to long ago. She ran her heart out for me and she was such a good girl!!! 2011 was an eventful year for Miss Ella, Rattlesnake bite, MACH and finals at the Invitational!!!

Ella was the #1 Dalmatian and #2 in the Non-Sporting Group!!!!

 

 

Exhausted!!!

A little bit about Dawn Weaver:

Dawn Weaver is a top handler, trainer and judge in Britain with over 20 years experience. She believes in giving her dogs early and reliable information that not only guarantees her dogs can run with confidence and speed around the course but will also ensure that the physical impact on her dogs while turning is kept to a minimum. The dogs love knowing their next direction on a course so that they can  continue driving at maximum speed, not waiting for the next piece of information from the handler. She has trained many different breeds and sizes of dogs so is experienced on the subject of motivation. She does not feel that 'one size fits all' with regard to training methods or that everyone needs to do things the same way. All dogs and handlers are different and will often need different handling strategies on any given sequence. Dawn has relied on her dogs to teach her the best possible way to handle them rather than imposing her own theories on them. Every dog she has trained has got to the very top of the sport, including a poodle, papillons and various crossbreeds. She believes this is because she has listened to her dogs and handles them in a way that allows them to reach their maximum potential. This means they can run with certain knowledge and total freedom'.

Some of Dawn's Agility Accomplishments:

Masher, Cutter, Stunner and Trixie at the beach

I love watching the dogs run and play for the sheer joy of it!!!

 

 

Stunner's First Show!!!!!

I am thrilled that little Stunner won Best Puppy in Show at his very first show!!!

Julie said that he showed like he has been doing this forever. I bet he thought it was super easy peasy to get treats for just standing there:)

Daneen & Masher ~ Dawn Weaver Seminar 2011

I can not say enough good things about Dawn and her training style!!! From the moment we met we just clicked - Our thoughts about agility and dogs are so very similar- It's all about the dogs!!!

Dawn had some challenging courses and drills for us to do and it was very cool to see handlers and dogs of every level do these courses!

Dawn has a very gentle and encouraging way of teaching. It was pure joy!!!!

Here is Masher running one of the courses. Thank you Elise for sending me this video.

 

 

Stunner ~ How we socialize our puppies...

Stunner is 9 weeks old here and this was the first time on a harness. We do this to everyone we can get to play with us and when the pup is 100% good with this we then do the next step and have people feed then pet then feed some more.
