On February 1st the AKC started its new Fetch performance event. February 17th, Scent Work Club of Central Wisconsin hosted the first Fetch Novice test in Wisconsin. Sand Spring and Crawfish thought it would be fun to enter this event since of course we own retrievers and fetching is what they love to do. Tom Pawlisch was judging the event, so I handled his two dogs Carmelita and Dieter along with my dog Slammer to their fetch novice titles. What an amazing day it was to title three Chesapeakes in this new venue. Slammer’s judges were Tom Pawlisch and Paula Kropidlowski. Carmelita and Dieter’s judges were George Deering and Paula Kropidlowski. You need to pass two events under two different judges to title. You must start out at the novice level and work your way up to the highest level, which is retriever. This is an up-and-coming event for all breeds and participants, a fun event to do with your pal.
