DARWIN - March 26, 2009 -
Darwin was born in March 2009 as part of the test litter for the gene marker for improper coat. He was one of the improperly coated puppies. From an early age, he demonstrated a strong attachment to Kari and thus became her dog even though he was originally slated to go to a service dog program as an peanut detecting dog. He is a moderate male, 21.5" in height and 50 lbs. A challenging adolescent, he nevertheless competed in obedience, rally, and water at a young age, and once mature, went on to compete in agility, nosework, barn hunt, and tracking. While not a super fan of obedience, he nevertheless earned rally titles through the excellent level and earned both a CD and a CDX before the AKC changed the rules concerning the stay exercises. In his older years, he enjoyed learning a variety of tricks and earned his trick performer title at the ripe age of 11. He has earned a MAC-6 achievement award as well as a Bronze, Silver, and Gold Register of Merit from the PWDCA; he also has an AKC Achiever award and has earned an AKC VCD2 title. He earned his SWN title at age 10, and finished several NADAC agility titles as a veteran 11 year old. He is now enjoying retirement. ACCOMPLISHMENTS
