4 Have you heard? From Emily Dalton : Maija is now titled in 3 agility events--standard, Jumpers with Weaves, and now Fast! I am so proud of her. From Sara Borok: Sharing a photo taken during the Kinetic Grand Championship race last month. Sara s Siberians and Chris Irvin s Tervuren s did some carting. LCKC June

5 Have you heard? More from Sara Borok: Hildy (Britestars Aren t I Wovely RA) has been on the road for the last month with co owner Barbara House. She has picked up many reserves and has been duking it out for WB and BW and some BOS s at Gridley. She has picked up 3 points along the way hopefully more to come in New Mexico this weekend. I brought Karma out for Veterans Sweeps at Woofstock and she took BOS veterans sweeps and then BOB veterans sweeps on Sunday!!! And this was while she was semi naked!!! Photos by Diana Han NorCalBulldogger From Tina Moulton: Our little Bisous - Jo-Na-Da s Black Cat Kisses at Rovente - has taken Reserve Winners Bitch (to her litter mate every time!) from the 6-9 month puppy class her first three shows (Coyote Hills and Days 1&2 of Woofstock - Contra Costa KC). A real achievement especially at Woofstock, where there was a very nice entry of IGs. The judges all loved her, she just needs more table manners ;-) Raya - Ch. Rovente s Ray of Light at Jo-Na-Da - collected a 3 point grand major by going Select Bitch on Thursday at Woofstock and a 4 point grand major by going Best Opposite on Friday also at Woofstock (Contra Costa KC). It was a very tough BOB ring, so we are quite pleased. She now has 19 grand championship points with all of her majors and champions defeated. All she needs now is 6 points for her Grand Championship! Photo by Dart Dog LCKC June

6 Have you heard? From Sandra Gould: It is the Johnson/Gould travelers reporting in. We had to come back from the Tippet Tour three weeks early because of an injury to Tippet's paw which was not healing. We saw four different vets as we traveled, each providing great service. Once home, the wounds were cultured, and proper (and more powerful) meds prescribed. He is healing nicely now, but has a long ways to go. Still, as of this week, it appears we will be heading out on the Alaska Adventure on July 3rd, as planned. It's been a month of serious pain and discomfort for the dog. He will be taking a high dose antibiotic for a long time. Cultures revealed both strep and another bacteria carried by seed awns. Nasty stuff. The good news is that we had a wonderful time on the Tippet Tour. We have been posting our successes on Facebook. Tippet cleaned up at a nosework trial, got his Rally Advanced title, got two legs each on his Rally Excellent and Obedience Novice titles, and passed his tracking certification test with beautiful style and ease. From Susan Dean: Rocket went OH Sporting Group 1 at Lynden Washington last month - Bell Vernon Kennel Club. He also earned a G4 at Mt. Baker Kennel Club. LCKC June

7 Our condolences to Cathy Wright, who said goodbye to Dandy on June 18th... LCKC June
