Successful weekend at WT Menin 10.-11.5.2025

5/18/2025

 
Picture
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!

Duckmoors gang on Working Test Melnik CZ 26.4.2025

4/28/2025

 
Picture
After some recent bad luck at our last working test (one silly zero), this weekend brought a bit more luck and better results!
Another long trip behind us, but so worth it.

At the Working Test in Melník/CZ, organized by Retriever Sport CZ and judged by Ian Lohoar and Graham Wilson (UK), in the E class with 27 starters:



Duckmoors Call Me Neema “Neema”
(FTW Loveloch Valentino x Kaliture Toffee Crisp)
1st place excellent 20/20/20/18 (lost 2 points because I was “sleeping” and didn’t use the whistle at the right time — sorry, Neema!)

Duckmoors Dreamcatcher “Toby”
(Moscargrange Dappa x Duckmoors All That Jazz)
2nd place excellent - just 1 point behind Neema!
Congratulations Eva & Toby! Hard work really pays off!

In the afternoon, after a very long wait for the V class (unfortunately we couldn’t leave the seniors in the car to rest because it was too hot), they had to spend hours waiting for their class, staying on the leash and walking around with the youngsters.
This completely drained Finn, and he sadly finished with one zero. Anyway, with our veterans, it’s all about giving them a good time and letting them feel they are still important to us.
On the end, only one veteran survived:
Kaliture Toffee Crisp (Neema’s mom and Toby’s grandma)
1st place – not high scores, but she gave it her all, pity making blinds from marks , but being handled with enthusiasm! She refused to give up, especially on the last test.
Thank you to the organizers for nice event and judges for the nice exercises, fair but strict judging.
Special thanks to my daughter who stayed at home and took care of the rest of the dogs, so I was able to travel for extra days!
Another adventure and memories to treasure!

Celebrating Cooper’s New Achievement: A Certified Rescue Dog!

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. This is a tremendous accomplishment, and I couldn’t be prouder of their success. Cooper’s skill, enthusiasm, and professionalism were on full display, proving once again what an extraordinary dog he is. 🙌🏻
I want to extend my warmest congratulations to Angie and Cooper for this fantastic achievement. Your dedication and the beautiful bond you share are truly inspiring. I am so proud to see Cooper thriving in his role as a rescue dog and know that he will continue to bring so much goodness to the world, both in his work and in your lives together.

Thank you, Angie, for your continued trust in me and for giving Cooper such a wonderful life. I wish you both many more successful missions and happy moments together!

I'm excited to share another achievement by Cita - Duckmoors Bright Skye, who recently participated in the Working Test in Maria Schmolln, Austria. Her owner, Waltraud, shared an amusing yet challenging moment from the day.

During the test, Cita faced an unexpected distraction—a cat wandered into the search area! Naturally curious, Cita was momentarily distracted, making the task more difficult. Thankfully, the cat eventually ran off, and Cita was able to refocus on her task.
Despite this unexpected challenge, Cita successfully completed the test, finishing in 9th place. Her ability to overcome distractions and still pass the test is a testament to her growing skills and resilience. I’m proud of their progress and excited to see her continue to develop!
