Double Trouble!
Correne sent me pictures of her two girls – Freya on the left and Seren on the right. They are half sisters and, like a lot of sisters are very competitive.
All three have been very busy!
New titles for Freya: Novice Fast Agility (NF) Open Agility Jumpers (OAJ) Novice Agility Standard (NA) Fit Dog Gold (FITG) and her Coursing Ability Test (DCAT).
New titles for Seren: Coursing Ability Test (DCAT), Fit Dog Silver (FITS), and her Canine Good Citizen (CGC).
Just looked at the rankings for the Coursing Ability Test – also known as Fast Cat, and I have 3 dogs in the top 15 in the United States for this year! Seren is #4 24.10 mph, Ernie #5 24.09 mph (#1 in 2023!), and Freya #15 21.65 mph. Pretty proud of my Fox River Dogs!
Duffy is an AWESOME hunter!
Owner/handler Rick and his beautiful red and white dog, Duffy, just came back from hunting in South Dakota. Rick writes “I’ve been hunting pheasants for 60 years. These two Welshies quarter better than any two dogs I’ve ever hunted with. Duffy made all 7 retrieves in one hour!” High praise! Love to see the Welshies out in the field doing what they were originally bred for. Duffy and Rick on the right! Rick’s son Jeff and his dog Maverick.
Wow! Rory has been busy!
Emily reached out to let me know of more good work from this beautiful solid black English Cocker boy.
His latest accomplishment has been to finish his Novice Buried Scentwork title. And, also his Farm Dog Certificate.
Here is a picture of him with Emily getting ready to trial. Good job Emily and Rory!
Siri and Venita earned their breed championship!
The first weekend of October has been a very exciting time for Venita. She and her little girl Siri took back to back majors to finish her championship. I just knew the timing was right and that this team would succeed, and succeed they have! Thank you Venita! So proud of this team! CH Fox River Mackinac Autumn Star CGC FDC
The Brothers are Stars!
This week, their 6 month birthdays, Oliver (Fox River Alexander Royalty) and Jude (Fox River Peanut Butter Meltaway) successfully completed their Star Puppy classes! They join Lena (Fox River Three Penny Opera), their sister (solid liver), who finished her class awhile ago. I haven’t heard from the other sisters if they’ve participated. Jude (liver and tan) on the left and Oliver (solid liver) on the right are still carrying their puppy coats. Notice the fur standing up on their heads? Good puppies!

Rory is on a roll!
Rory is such a good boy. He earned his Rally Excellent title recently and this weekend earned his Novice Container title in Scent Work. What I like about him is how versatile he is at so many performance events. Look at the titles he and Emily have earned! And, what a great sire he has been too!

Ms. Rya adds CH to her name!
Rya earned her breed championship in August. She is a beautiful chocolate (liver-colored) girl out of Quincy’s first litter with Badger. Rya is now working on her Grand Champion and is about half way there. Thank you Emily! CH Fox River Like H2O 4 Chocolate FITB BCAT CGC
Little Lena is a Star Puppy!
This little 4 month old girl Lena, owned by Emily and I, out of Quincy’s most recent litter with Rory, earned her Star Puppy title this past July! A great start for this cutie: Fox River Three Penny Opera STR.
I can’t keep up with this team – Freya and Correne!
Where to start? Freya and Correne earned the novice standard and novice jumpers titles in agility recently and has already earned a couple of open legs. This girl also earned her FITG – Fit Dog Gold. Might even be the first Welshie with this award. And, if I haven’t bragged enough, Freya went Best of Opposite at the National in May in Performance Sweeps. And, in case I’ve forgotten a new achievement, just want everyone to know how proud of this team I am!

Venita and Siri at the Regional Specialty Sept 2025
Wow, this team is hot! Ms. Siri and Venita made the drive to Colorado for the Regional Specialty and had an awesome time! Siri went Winners on Saturday and placed the other day as well. Thank you Venita!
