I am so proud of Dolly accomplishments for 2022 springer awards, she won Novice Dog of the year in 2021, and now Open, Utility, and Dog of the year!!
"Dolly" is an exceptional dog who has achieved great success in various competitions. She is a breed champion and has triumphed over other top contenders. Impressively, she completed the OTCH (Obedience Trial Champion) title at a young age of 2.5 years old, demonstrating her exceptional obedience skills.
In 2021, Dolly participated in the Springer National competition and emerged victorious winning the High in Trial (HIT) award from Novice. Her outstanding performances lead to an invitation to the prestigious 2023 National Obedience Championship (NOC). At the NOC, Dolly's skills were awe-inspiring as she finished 16th overall among more than 150 entrants. In the Sporting Group, she secured an impressive 8th position out of 58 participants, highlighting her prowess in this specific category.
With her remarkable achievements and talents, Dolly has garnered a considerable fan club of admirers who are undoubtedly captivated by her abilities and charisma.
Dolly was bred by Mike Bockhorn and I’m so glad he picked her for me!!

While he may prefer the agility ring, RemE has no shortage of flair in the obedience ring. From his high stepping heeling to his enthusiastic springer jumping, he is a crowd favorite. High in Trial for all three of his Novice legs started his obedience career out with a flourish, easily soaring through Novice, Open and Utility, before going back to play in the agility ring.
Thank you to ESSFTA for honoring all of the performance dogs and handlers’ hard work each year.

He’s confident, smart, sensitive and loves to learn. I couldn't ask for a better teammate to be learning obedience and many other disciplines with. He's my first obedience dog and there'slots to learn!
We ventured into obedience as an added bonus to building our strength as a team for what is our true passion and that is being in the field quartering, flushing and retrieving birds. The hunt test world was where it all began for us learning to work together. We are continuing our journey in both venues, with a goal of getting his Master hunter title and CDX is next. We also volunteer with a wonderful organization, Attitudes In Reverse. They educate in healthy minds, mental wellness and suicide prevention and we are on call as a crisis support team when a life as been lost.
Thank you to the ESSFTA for this totally unexpected honor to receive the 2022 Nov A Obedience Dog award. We truly appreciate the acknowledgement of our hard work for this achievement.
