Titles the MR Pack Earned in 2013 |
This is the lineup of title ribbons for 2013 - 9 for Spice and 1 for Grace. During 2013, we experienced the loss of one pack member (Grace) and gained two new members (Striker and Kirk). Achievements for each dog are summarized below:
Grace earned her OAP and retired from agility in spring 2013. Grace and I also walked into the Utility ring in 2013 - a first for both of us.

Grace OAP |
Spice started her agility career in late 2012. In 2013, Spice earned 4 AKC titles (Nov FAST, Open FAST, Nov JWW, and Nov Standard), 2 USDAA titles (Starter Relay and Starter Snooker), and 3 Teacup Titles (Games 1, Standard Beginner, and Standard Intermediate). In addition to agility in 2013, Spice tried earning legs toward her CD but a mishap during stays by another dog is requiring more confidence building before Spice is going to "stay" on one side of the ring will I move to the other side of the ring. She is also training in herding and tracking - we hope to begin testing/trialing in those venues in 2014.

Striker joined us in spring 2013 at almost 10 years old. He is training towards in BN, RN, and TD titles. He also seems to be having a second puppyhood playing with the younger dogs - he is currently galloping across the den tossing a rubber bone and chasing it.
