We are so happy to tell you that yesterday, Mother's Day, our Halfdan the Black earned his first qualification towards his AKC Junior Earthdog title. It was only his second attempt - we're very proud of him. We are attaching photos - the first of Halfdan, Jack and the judge, Jill Petersen, and the second of Halfdan and Jack (although Halfdan is a big boy, he is not as big as the photo suggests).

When he gets his title, we'll be sure to send you a copy of the certificate for your records.

(note from Kayrn: Although Halfdan's name includes "the Black", you can see from the pictures that Halfdan, who came from us, is actually a Silver Brindle.)
