But Wait! That's not a Flat-Coated Retriever - Rüdi
In keeping with my desire to have a “big ol’ farm dog”, one of the titles I really wanted to get on Rüdi, and preferably have it be his first, is AKC's Farm Dog Certified title. To my delight, he passed the two tests back-to-back at the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of America herding trials in Chino on April 28, 2023. He was definitely a little too interested in the penned-up sheep, but he came when called and passed with flying colors.
Three more activities I am doing with him now that he is old enough are drafting (click here for the generic AKC description), pack hiking, and weight pull, but especially drafting. We haven't yet done any formal (i.e. working toward titles) pack hiking or weight pulling, but for our current adventures in preparing for drafting, I've set up a drafting page to document some of the fun.
