KCTC Member Wednesday Wags N Brags: On January 20th I decided to try my paw at earning my DMWYD Novice Stunt Dog title and guess what? I passed with honors! Because I previously earned my Novice titles in Tricks and Conditioning Fitness, I earned my first Triple Crown title. On February 23, I got my AKC Novice Stunt Dog title, too. Mom says she’s super proud of me and best of all, we had lots of fun!!! -Rags (Linda Irwin)

KCTC Member Wags N Brags: Having a great time in the agility class. Dogs love this sport...bonding those important relationships between companions and their owners. So appreciate Pam and Bill for all their education and challenging courses. -Debbie Miller-Gurchak

Meet KCTC Cover Dog for April - Nikki!

KCTC Wednesday Wags N' Brags: Greyson, Spree, and I had an amazing day at the C-WAGS scent work trial on February 28th. Greyson made his scent work trial debut that morning, and he did me proud by qualifying on 3 of his 4 runs. It's always so exciting to start a young dog in a new performance sport. Spree also did an awesome job for me. She was 4 for 4 at the trial, and finished her Level 3 Scent Investigator title and earned two legs toward her Ranger 3 title too. It was a l...ong day for her, since we had to be there at the crack of dawn for Greyson's Level 1 runs that morning. She was a trooper and attacked her searches that afternoon with lots of enthusiasm, despite having spent much of the day crated in the car. The non-stop rain that day presented some challenges, but the trial committee handled them all with aplomb! We truly appreciate all of the time and effort that went into putting on the C-WAGS trial. There were lots of smiling faces at CastleGate Shelties at the end of the trial. We are so looking forward to the next scent work trial in October. -Lynn Uram See more
