Many of our dogs go on to train for specialized tasks.
      
            Kicker is our girl  Zoe's brother (Ch Dewmist Davenport x 
Ch Cameo Whispering Wind).
Kicker earned his Delta Society status in 2003 and has 
been working as a therapy dog with his owner, Joanne 
Fusco, in Memphis, TN, visiting nursing homes and loving 
kids at St. Jude's Hospital.
And his recent trip to the library below.
       
            Theo is from Runnymede's "Indeed" 
and my retired female "Whisper" (Ch 
Runnymede Indeed x Ch Cameo 
Whispering Wind).
Theo earned his Delta Society status 
early in 2004 and is bringing joy to all 
those he comes in contact with.

       Bria / Swen Male – “Deochi” certified in SAR
In the Search and Rescue world there is 
what’s known as the “Operational Test”.  It’s 
the final test a dog and handler go through 
before becoming operational and have the 
ability to be deployed for search calls. The 
test is grueling, to say the least.  The dog and 
handler are given two hours to complete the 
test. The test and timer starts when the dog 
is given the scent article. Very few dogs 
complete the test on the first try. But at USC 
Upstate Campus, Deo (Deochi) and myself 
went through some of the most awful territory 
you can imagine.  Deo, as usual, went to 
ground and pulled me behind. We traveled 
through briars, rocks, streams, back wood 
paths and over construction sites. Deo never 
stopped working. At one hour and fifty one 
minutes--there was the victim. The judge, my 
flanker and the victim all kept saying over and 
over how great he was and what a great work 
ethic he had. He’s the first dog on our team 
to pass it on the first try. You should really be 
proud of him. What a Dog!!!!

                  Our Eva is such a natural at the nursing 
home. She is incredibly gentle, and just 
beckons the patients to pet her, brightening 
their day and hers too!
      
      We are on cloud nine...I thought Jesse 
might get a moderate rating. But  we got 
100% -- the highest rating we could get! I 
guess the timing was good and our girl will 
be two next weekend. Jessie has been in 
every obedience class since I started w/ 
CDTC 2 years ago. God has truly blessed 
us and will bless others through this.

                              The work of a therapy dog is one of love and devotion. Read this article about 
Riley, a Ch Bond and Ch Krumpet pup. Riley has been specially trained to be
