Sushi completed her Gold and Master Champion level on January 27th 2013.
Sushi started competing in CARO in August 2008, as she enjoyed Rally, especially the higher levels with jumps, tunnels and weaves. Once she completed her Silver level in November 2011, I did not think she could ever learn to work on the right, to start on Versatility, as she worked all her life on the left, in obedience, etc... I would like to thank Debby DaCosta, who was instrumental in teaching Sushi and I the Versatility level, Sushi's Gold and Masters would not have happened without her! Now Sushi is on the Working level!

Cashew is the opposite of a "working dog", anyone who knows him is aware of how much work I determination was involved to get him where he is! Hence the number of judges on his Silver title picture! Numerous times, he would just opt self reward and run in circles in the ring rather then do the exercises with me. Cashew started competing in CARO in March 2009, had many "retirement" moments, like when it took me one year and a half between his first and 2nd Advanced leg! However, on March 17th 2013, he finally obtained his Silver Level, unbelievable! He was entered 2 times in Excellent that day and hit his title in the first run, I did the 2nd run regardless, and he got an even greater score! I was saying at 12 years of age, and the amount of work it has been, that he is now "officially" retired as I accepted his ribbon....but I think he is telling me he wants to go on? Should we try Versatility?
