Those who are no longer with us
LUMI
Lumi was a Siberian husky. She did a little bit of everything but truly succeeded in K9 Nose Work®. Lumi was 1st place overall in her NW1 and two of her NW3s, and 2nd place overall in the third! She also loved Treibball, and Agility and is the star of many of our training videos. In her later years, she focused on competition obedience.
Cinnamon
CGC Cinnamon L1I, NW2, NW3-E, NW3-V, NW3-C
02/05/2008 – 06/10/2016
Cinnamon was a sweetheart Border Collie/Australian Shepherd Mix. We most loved doing nose work together, but she also had a blast with sheep herding, agility, rally, and just chasing a ball for as long as we would throw it. She died much too young from a neurological disease: Cerebellar Abiotrophy. She was our first dog together, and we could never thank her enough for all that she taught us and the places she took us.
Without you, we would never have gotten here.
