I just have to brag on my boys for a minute, they are both fabulous and had an awesome year!
Nikon earned several new titles - U-CH (UKC Conformation Champion!), UNJ (dock diving), U-CA (UKC lure coursing), TT (American Temperament Test Society's temperament test), and topped it off with his SchH1 earing High SchH1 and High Obedience. If we handn't made a bobble on the first leg of the track we would have also walked home with High in Trial and High Tracking. He was "pronounced" in protection. He also did an obedience demo for a 2nd grade class, marched with kids in two summer parades promoting the school where my husband works, helped other dogs test for their CGC as the "neutral dog", and participated in an SDA decoy certification where he was worked by 7 different people (helped 3 new decoys get certified). Nikon started flyball in October and is already running the full sequence with the "swimmer's turn" on the box after just 8 training sessions.

Pan is only 16 months old and he changed a lot this past year obviously. He got SG2 at 13 months in his first SV show, won some novice puppy ribbons in the UKC ring, went herding, went lure coursing, worked on a suit for the first time, and earned his CGC. He was 2 weeks too young for the Schuthzund trial in late November so we are going for his BH in April. His scorebook application and A-stamp x-rays went to the USCA office last week! Like Nikon, Pan also started flyball in October and is already running the full sequence, doing passes (going first and last), and beating a dog who's been training over a year.

Congrats VK! You should be proud. Sounds like both boys had a great year and accomplished a lot!
I cannot brag too much... had a busy year outside of dogs so didnt get near as much training in as I would have liked! However, my female did get her SchH1 and Kkl1 which I am extremely proud of! This year I hope for her to have puppies (fingers crossed!)... then after that to finish her SchH2/3 and maybe do some Rally or AKC obedience with her. I am also hoping to bring my old retired SchH3 female out to finish her RN title at least, maybe more in Rally and maybe something easy and fun for her like a BN or CD.
But on the health side of things this year she did pass her CERF exam and also found out she is DM Clear.

Beautiful dog! Congrats on the breed survey (and everything that goes into it).
