Welcome to our Brag Page (Recognition) 2009

Previous years of recognition: 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2010 | 2011 | 2013
Lucky Dog had an exciting experience in late November. Tanga, a yellow lab from our Lady's first litter in 2008, graduated from the Hearing & Service Dog program and is now a working service dog with her person doing double duty as a mobility and hearing assistance dog. We donated three more puppies out of Lady's 2009 litter who we hope are on their way to doing just as well as their big sister. Congratulations Tanga and Deb.
Congratulations to my fall therapy class; 8 out of 10 students passed evaluations, with a couple retesting later this month. I look forward to having more safe, registered teams visiting our local nursing homes, hospitals, and libraries. Thank you to Emmanuel Nursing Home for once again hosting evaluations and making it a wonderful experience.
A special thank you to two volunteers, Carissa Markuson and Shawna King, who are  making a difference this holiday season. Both ladies took the initiative to decorate trees for the Festival of Trees in Frazee and at the Mall in Detroit Lakes in an effort to raise awareness of the work we do with the 5 city pounds and the Adopt a Pet program. Thank you very much ladies and to the respective organizations for allowing us to get the word out.
Congratulations to Lauren Pederson and Jet the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever for their weekend at the UKC dog show. Once again, they were a good team and took one second and three third place finishes at the show.

Way to go Buzz, well on your way to a champion title! Congratulations to Sherri Ullrich and the corgi girls, and Corri Ullrich Berg with her Labrador girls for their first place class finishes.

July 25, 2009 - 4H: Congratulations to all of our 4H youth who competed in their county show here at Lucky Dog.

4H'ers have worked very hard with their dogs all summer and several earned state fair trips. It was great for Linda and Mary to see the improvement in manners and skills during classes and the working relationship develop between the 4h'ers and dogs.

Thank you to the parents who have been the taxi cabs and teachers at home, Linda and Mickey at the extension office for all their support and assistance, Karl Johnson, our judge, and all the countless other volunteers who make our program happen every year.

Cambridge show..Bean was in the 9-12mo bitch class and got 2nd place on Saturday and 3rd on Sunday. I am happy with how it went-she did really well except on Sunday, She decided to lay down and roll onto her back when the judge was looking at her!! She is such a "Bean"..haha
May 30-31, 2009 - Kim Turner and Bean the wrinkly bulldog did wonderful, winning their puppy class but losing to some stiff competition over the weekend.
