The Dogology Dogs

OKI

The Foxy One

Oki is a Japanese Shiba Inu. He is a registered Pets As Therapy dog who regularly visited care home residents where he entertained them with his many tricks before he retired. He is the first and only Shiba to earn a Rally Obedience title, and he has also had some success at Agility competitions. He dabbles in dog showing and has qualified for Crufts on multiple occasions, although as an older gentleman he is mostly retired from showing and active competitions now. However, he has recently entered Obedience shows and proved that an old dog can learn new tricks! He has been in the placings, and more importantly, competed with happiness and enthusiasm. He has given me an insight into primitive breed behaviour and taught me a lot about how to motivate dogs. Oki is currently enjoying Hoopers and Obedience training as well as entering Rally Online competitions.

The Showgirl

Pancake is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, or “Toller”. She loves to earn rewards and has achieved Rally and Trick Dog titles, winning the Toller Rally League 2017. She is also a successful show dog, having won Best Puppy in Breed multiple times, and placing well many years at Crufts. She has now gained two prestigious awards called Challenge Certificates which gives her entry to Crufts for life, as well as a Reserve Challenge Certificate. She is currently enjoying Agility and Hoopers training and in 2019 she made her Agility debut with some lovely successes. Pancake also competes in Rally Online competitions and won Top Rally Online Toller 2019. She has also recently turned her paw to Obedience, successfully being placed at several competitions and flyball, a truly versatile worker!

OLIVE

The Sporty One

Olive is also a Toller and she loves Agility. She has enjoyed her first competing season starting at the end of 2021 and got some lovely results for such a youngster. Olive now competes at Grade 7, the top level and has entered Championship classes. She is a joy to train and we are having fun competing. She is also doing well in the show ring, having also won a CC at a young age just like Pancake. She has achieved the Gold Agility Warrant, awarded by the KC (points are given for every clear round at a KC competition). Agility is definitely our main focus but she has also successfully competed in Hoopers competitions with placings and wins, moving up the grades and live KC Rally Obedience competitions with placings, as well as Rally Online with success and grade progression. Olive has also competed in Obedience with successful placings.
