Much more fun than showing!!!

Pip earned his first AKC Senior Earthdog leg at the the Greater Boston Earthdog Club Test in Gardner MA on May 11, 2008 (judge Maria Sacco).

There were three ED tests in three different locations on Mother's Day Weekend and Pip was one of four JJ dogs to have success.

Inching Forward

Pip took advantage of Higgs absence at the Club Canine Rive Sud show on Sunday, April 27, 2008 to sneak one more point towards his Canadian Championsjip under judge Carmen Haller.

Pip would also like to take this opportunity to thank second cousin Bonus for his good sportsdogship and wish him well in Oromocto when his coat should be stunning.

Maritime MadnessMassachusetts Success

Pip ably demonstrated that his New Brunswick ED performance was no fluke by earning his AKC Junior Earthdog title with two qualifying runs at the Greater Boston Earthdog Club Tests in Gardner, MA on August 10-11, 2007 (Judges Joe Mazur and Lou Herzog)

Maritime Madness Success

Pip became one of three Border boys to earn a two point win at the Fredericton KC shows in Sheffield, NB. Pip's win came on July 27, 2007 under judge Jose Vidal Montero.

Pip then went on to prove that "handsome is as handsome does" by earning his Canadian Junior Earthdog title with qualifying runs on July 28-29, 2007 (judges Duane Pulford and Trudy Kawami)

A Good Beginning

Jenny Chambers (Pip's co-breeder with Donna moore-Lavoie) made the trek from Stowe to Ste-Madeleine to Brockville to see Pip make his Canadian show ring debut at the Thousand Island Kennel Club Show on August 20, 2006 under judge Ray Smith.
Pip made the trip worthwhile. Though his ring skills are far from polished (my fault not his), he managed to take Winners Male from the Junior Puppy Class over two adult males to earn his first two points.
