What's New?
OCTOBER 2009 - TD TRACKING TITLE
Findus, Fieldday Mr. Incredible, successfully completed his Tracking Test and obtained his TD title at only 7 months. Truly, he is "incredible". Congratulations to Nicole and Findus.
SEPTEMBER 2009 - A NEW CHAMPION
From the 12-18 month class, Star (Fieldday First Star Dream), took WB , BW and BB to finish her Can Championship under Australian judge Ms Marie Merchant at the Oakville & District Kennel Club show. Star is from Caleigh (Can Ch Fieldday Impromptu) and Jenson (Eng Sh Ch Telsmoss Tressel). Proud owner is Susan O'Marra.
AUGUST 2009 - FINDUS IN TRAINING
Follow-up on Findus' training camp with the Canadian Search and Disaster Dog Association. His owner writes:
"... the first two days were pretty hard for him 'cause he never took a break while waiting for his turn but he then got used to sleeping anywhere whenever he got the chance. He has a lot of drive for disaster search and also for cadaver. We could not do a lot of water search because of the weather but when we did, he loved to jump from the boat into the water. His training also took him to a mall for socialization, elevators and stairs, different surfaces and his obedience was put to the test when he had to stay still by a rollercoaster… quite hard for a Flat-Coat, especially when there are children having fun nearby."
Great work Findus and Nicole. You're a great team!
AUGUST 2009 - FINDUS - SEARCH & RESCUE DOG
Findus, who is not quite 6 months, has been training for the last little while in water and disaster search with his owner Nicole. This talented boy will be flying out to Alberta for an intensive 10-day training session. Doesn't he look nifty with his "search and rescue outfit"? From the Pixar litter (Jenson x Mieka), Findus was named Fieldday Mr. Incredible. I do believe the name suits him well. More to follow on Findus' exciting career.

MARCH 2007 - TRIP TO ENGLAND
During my trip to England, I was able to go to a field event and had a great time following Sue and Rumpus through the Novice Working Test. At this beginner level, the dog needs to succeed 4 tests to be in the running for the ribbons: a double mark, a single mark combined with a blind, a water test, a walk-up with honour. Different and very pleasant was to see the dogs and handlers calmy mingle together while waiting their turn for a test. The score sheet was displayed for all to see and judges’ comments on the dogs' performance were given when awarding the ribbons. Congratulations to Rumpus and Sue for their 3rd place.
The following day, at the FCR Championship show, Sue handed me her number, show lead and dog and told me to go have fun. To find myself handling a most wonderful dog by the name of Gayplume Flamboyant at Suchanoich at the Championship show was a most unbelievable thrilling experience!
