El FINALLY got to showcase her level 3 protection 🤩

An out would have been nice and we would have had the PSA3 (FL) — but I guess dogs always have to give us those “she’s never done that before” moments, don’t they?

Eleven earned her APPDA Lvl 1 and had an absolute blast doing it. Stepping into a new sport when she was 7 years old wasn’t in the plans, but we are so happy we took this fork in the road. Eleven LOVES this sport, the long fights with the decoys, the bitework style, and the amount of biting she gets to do all fit her style and keep her satisfied. She works a lot more in defense in this sport and I’ve seen her confidence grow and her focus increase with less leaking, as she deals with less prey frustration in this sport. Personally I find this sport to be incredibly fun but also actually makes sense as far as a true test of if your dog will protect you when needed. All the people I have met have been helpful, kind and welcoming. Looking forward to the 2s!!!

This weekend’s @nyc_workingdogs mock trial was awesome, but the highlight was getting to share the field with @terrybocai and Thorn and @amandapeckhamm and Sirius! For the first time, Mama Eleven and her kids got to compete together! What an amazing feeling! To see Eleven’s legacy in real time was incomparable. Maxine even jumped into level 2 protection with her siblings!! Her kids are so talented with incredible handlers - the sky is the limit to their future. Thank you for the opportunity to experience this day 🙏💗 so excited to see what the future brings! 🔮🤩 taken in Middletown NY by @elevated_k9

Maxine is everything I hoped and dreamed for when I did this breeding in 2022. Thank you @maverickthedutchie for allowing the breeding with Maverick! What an amazing litter we created! All 4 puppies now titled, multiple WDs, it’s beyond my wildest dreams tbh.

Maxine is such a powerful, clear, stable, biddable dog who leave an impression on everyone she meets. It’s training her has been an absolute adventure for me. What she needed to thrive and grow was so different than what I am used to. Her drive matured much faster than her brain 😆 I may be down a couple useful fingers but so worth it..

Thank you @sk9_psa for offering us the spot at last minute. We’ve been on the waiting list for a long time and I wasn’t expecting that text. Thanks to everyone who helped at home so I was able to leave for 24 hours to show up for this trial short notice. @phyllistonnesen @perfectly_powell

Thank you @kim.cerio.canine for the fair and thorough judging - it was a pleasure and an honor to get both our PDC and now our first leg under you. Thank you @sroberts1731 for the reassuring stewarding, I felt more confident out there with you at my side! You were my judge when Eleven got her PDC in 2021 so it feels very fitting and full circle. Thanks to all of the decoys for your excellent catches and bringing my dog back to me safely. @captain_america_decoy @abraham_pena @bitenowoutlater @tytrainsdogs @deadpool_decoy @aus_ave

Thank you to all of my dog friends and family who are always there to support us and help us. Thank you @the__o__pack , @amazd_grace , @_gabriellarosales Micheal @petermancero @decoy_bw and @dianalynmurphy Wynn for help trial prepping when I wasn’t able to travel. Thank you @terrybocai and @rocco_family_dog_training for all of your expert decoying work to make sure we were ready. Thank you @chris_weber_02 for all the excellent foundation work you put into Maxine. Thank you to my club NYC WD for always being there when we need you!

The most amazing girl in the universe, Mama (now grandma!) Eleven is 8 today! My life was flipped drastically upside down in the best of ways when she came into my life. I love to tell the story of how I chose her from her litter- over and over again, she would crawl into my lap. I’d move her away to give the other puppies a chance but back she would come. She picked me, and I was gifted by the universe with the exact best friend I needed. A life changing catalyst, a support system, the one to always put a smile on my face. I’m eternally grateful to her, and to the great ppl she has brought into my life. I can’t wait to see what this next year brings us, we have a lot of goals on the horizon, a lot of beaches to run, and a lot of snacks to eat. Here’s to the best year yet, my darling 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 by @elevated_k9
