Our boy Ted (APR STK's Tub Full Of Mallards) earned his SH title in SD today.   Passed his first MH test yesterday as well.    Sure wish I could have been there to see it.   That makes a CPR, APR, SH title and one MH pass all since spring.   Thank you Brad for all your hard work.

After the excitement's worn off a little, I got to thinking about all the people involved who have made this happen and they all deserve to share in Ted's progress and achievements.   There are a lot of people involved in this, all I've done was pick the puppy I liked best out of a great litter (and drive a lot of miles and write a lot of checks!) but we wouldn't have had that litter without Julie mentioning this really nice dog Mallard (a/k/a Pizza Paws) that we should go see; without Rob and Mallard being gracious enough to share some of Mallard's "greatness" with us; and Ted wouldn't be where he is without Ryan Fortier putting a great foundation and JH title on him; without Brad Lhotak's abilities to take Ted up the ladder (and giving us Hanna without whom we would never have started down this road) and without all our friends in the APLA who have coached, advised and been there to answer questions and offer encouragement along the way.   Thank you everyone for being there.   GO TED!

Congratulations!

Congratulations! That is a very nice accomplishment.

Congrats!

Tub dogs ROCK!

I am biased though.

Steve & Julie, that's awesome! You're having a great year with the dogs. Sounds like Brad is having a pretty successful year as well!
