What an incredible weekend at the Working Test in the beautiful pheasantry of Menin!
We’re beyond proud of the results of Duckmoors' dogs achieved:

Duckmoors Autumn Tumble "Tango" with Anna had a phenomenal run!

On Saturday, they started strong in M class with two 20s, but unfortunately picked up a zero on one of the exercises. However, they didn’t let that bring them down. On Sunday, facing much tougher tasks, they came back stronger and won the M class 🥇 with an excellent score of 76/80 (20/17/19/20)!

And that’s not all -- In a last-minute decision, they entered the Open class as well, and what a debut it was! - 3rd place 🥉 with an impressive 74/80 (20/18/20/16), also marked as excellent.
Huge congratulations to Anna & Tango! 💪🏆

Duckmoors Call Me Neema ran in E class and finished 6th with 67/80 (very good - 16/20/12/19).
A solid performance, though one task cost us some valuable points – we’ll be sharper next time!

Duckmoors Dreamcatcher "Toby" unfortunately scored a silly zero this time — but that’s how the game goes. He’ll be back stronger!

A special shout-out to Watchful Eye Golden Gaj "Haker", Tango’s son (Toffee's grandson), who placed 3rd in M class on Saturday with 72/80 points (17/15/20/20). Congratulations to his team – we're so proud to see Tango's legacy shining through!

All in all, a weekend full of learning, progress, and joy. Congratulations to everyone who participated and thank you to the organizers and judges for a great event!

Big congratulations to Cita's brother, Cooper - Duckmoors Brave Skaterboy, who just passed his first FCI IPO RH Water V rescue test! 🐾🚤

Despite the windy conditions and challenging distance, Cooper gave it his all and proved just how talented he is. 🐕🌬️

We’re so proud of Cooper's achievements, and it sounds like this won’t be his last water exam! Well done to both Cooper and his owner for this wonderful accomplishment. 🎉🌟

I am overjoyed to announce another incredible milestone for Angie and her amazing dog, Cooper! Today marks a very special day in their journey as Cooper successfully passed the IPO RH Fläche A rescue dog exam, officially earning his title as a certified rescue dog! 😍🐾

Angie shared with me that although she was nervous at the beginning, once the exam started, it turned into a fun and fulfilling experience working with Cooper. And the results speak for themselves—Cooper performed exceptionally well!

In the obedience and dexterity section, Cooper scored an impressive 94 out of 100 points. But the true highlight was his nose work in the area search, where he achieved an outstanding 182 out of 200 points. This brought their total score to a remarkable 276 points out of 300, earning them a "very good" rating overall! 🥰💪🏻
Thanks to their hard work and dedication, Angie and Cooper are now qualified to participate in search missions together.

I'm thrilled to share the news that  Cita - Duckmoors Bright Skye, under the guidance of her dedicated owner Waltraud, has successfully passed her first rescue exam, the FCI IPO RH Fläche V. This milestone marks an important step in Cita's journey toward becoming a certified rescue dog.
