Nelson got mail, making more history for our breed in AKC Scent work. This is his overall Masters Certificate. He becomes the third ever GBGV to earn this title which is so fun! AKC Scent Work began in September 2017 but was not in our area until the fall of 2018. Emma never got to try it but the rest of us have been competing in it since November 2018. It’s fun seeing all the different ribbons as clubs order them for their trials which means each club has different looking ribbons.
Now for some #ThrowbackThursday info. I, no surprise, Olivia, earned my Overall Masters Title on February 20th, 2022 at two years and eleven months old. Of course, I am the first GBGV to earn an overall Masters Title and I am proud of my accomplishment. I have so many firsts in sniffing with AKC and NACSW, it is super fun and Mom is proud of our Team Orange!
Finally on September 28th, 2024 our sweet Madison earned her Overall Masters Title being the second GBGV ever to earn the title. It is an accomplishment she can be proud of and remembered for forever. She enjoyed sniffing sports but more than anything she enjoyed seeing people she knew. Pink was her color and believe it or not, all four of her Masters Element Titles are pink ribbons. Only the overall ribbon is not.
Then we have Bailie, no Overall Masters Title but she does have two Masters Element Titles from 2021 in Exteriors and Containers. Her last one was Master Containers on October 2nd, 2021. She doesn’t have any desire to trial so she probably won’t be getting her overall title, but you never know.
We are all thankful to be the trail blazers in sniff sports for our breed. It is what we were born to do and if we are properly trained, we are amazing sniffers.
