I’m letting the cat out of the bag about my upcoming sniffing adventure. I’ve started to pack some items like my cooler for treats when I find hides and my Furballz to hang out with. Remember Nelson posted about his FastCAT Invitational recently? Well, I’m going to be sniffing for a few days, before he does his FastCAT running.
This year is the first ever AKC Scent Work Master National. Four hundred dogs will be competing over three days to find the best sniffers. Any dog with a Scent Work Master or Master Elite Title could enter. The first two days will be searches to determine the one hundred dogs who move on to the finals on day three. Mom and I love to compete and since it is something new and different, we thought it would be fun to give it a whirl.
I earned my Master Title a month before I turned three on 2/20/2022, when I was 2. See the pattern there with “2”? I even got an orange ribbon! Our goal is to make it to the finals, that means being in the top twenty five percent of the dogs entered. We are now ramping up our practicing. It is going to be a challenge for sure but one that we will enjoy as Team Orange. We also want to represent our breed. Our family has the only GBGV Masters Titles in AKC Scent Work. I was first, then Madison and finally Nelson. It is important for us to show ourselves off and to let the world know what all we are capable of. Nelson will be doing the same in his FastCAT Invitational. Hopefully one day more GBGV’s will do sports.
We have about a month to go until we head off to Ohio for a week of sports and I’m ready to go now. If we have any interesting updates in the coming weeks we will let you know and we’ll also keep you posted when we are at our events. Mom, me and Nelson all love our sports and traveling which will make it a super fun week we think.
My GBGV Life is happy, so we’re joining Comedy Plus for Happy Tuesday!
