Congratulations to our friends!  Have a brag or a photo you want to share of your dog? Send it to us via email.

Puck's point total is now9 points!!  Congratulations to first-time owner-handler Lynn Zartmann on picking up his first major in Puyallup! We are proud of you!

   Linda Cozad and Grace show off their first agility title ribbons! WTG!!!  This team is close to two more titles in Novice.  We think Linda's smile says it all.  UPDATE:  Grace is not NAP, NAJP!!! Congratulations!!

Our drop-in conformation classes specialize in training YOU to show your dog.  Here is a success story from one of our class members.  Thank you for sharing, Debbie! 

Brodie and I learned much in Risë's conformation class.  In an extremely positive environment, we had fun and also learned better techniques.  I was an inexperienced handler when we started in January 2012. 

Here's the proof.  Brodie achieved a Group 4 win and his Grand Championship in 9 months. 

Thanks!

Debbie Blanchard

 

Brand new agility winners!!!  Congratulations to Carol & Tudie, Dan & Parker, and Linda and Gracie! Parker finished his novice JWW title and Tudie and Grace began FAST, JWW, and STD!!

Our latest Rally-O star player, Tynen, finished his Rally Novice title at the Pembroke Welsh Corgi national specialty and was awarded this special performance title ribbon.  Way-to-go, Patsy and Tynen!  (Ty is ten years young and now in training for Rally Advanced--never say old dogs can't learn new tricks!)

Kado and owner Julie Jones traveled to the Shiba Inu Club of America National Specialty - Obedience & Agility trials in Edinboro, PA.  Kado has been a competitive obedience student and outshone quite a few Shibas from across the country, winning (see all the blue ribbons?) and placing in both venues.  He is quite a boy!  Congratulations, Kado and Julie!

 

 

Not all brags are show-related! Lucy Booher sent us this: Bailey and I had  a great time learning the basics from Risë. Here is Bailey's   "graduation" pic. He sat and stayed while I propped his "diploma" on him  to take the shot. Thanks for all the lessons, tips and patience.

 

 

 

 

Gail and John Barnard sent news of "Dillon the Villain's" HUGE win in puppy sweeps.  At the Irish Setter Club of Sacramento Specialty, Dillon went BEST IN SWEEPSTAKES!!  Congratulations!!!  We are always happy to hear that dogs trained at Pup-A-Razzi are performing well---and this is certainly an honor for a puppy!

From Risë and Franke: "Franke is now CH Uhlan Weesbad Duty Free CDX RE AX AXJ.  She finished her AXJ (Agility Excellent Jumpers) in a big way by winning the class.  She is now retired from active agility competition--but will  continue to work on Utility in obedience. Not bad for ten years young!"  Let Risë help you train your dog to earn some of these titles!
