New Rally Excellent and Group Placement for Daphne

On June 17th, 2011, Daphne was awarded a BOB out of 12(5 specials). And on June 19th, 2011, Daphne was awarded Best of Breed out of 13(6 specials) and then went on to win a group three!! Daphne is the first toller bitch to place in groups in New England in quite a few years, and both BOB wins were over top 5/top 10 dogs. And this is just 6 months after weaning her babies. Daphne is owner/handled by Rochelle Kurth, Hawks Nest Kennels.

On July 9th, 2011, Daphne completed her Rally Exellent title. This is after a 2 year break from the rally ring. Each leg was completed with a 2nd place, and in three straight trials. At one of these trials, Daphne passed her first CD leg, also with a 2nd place!(1/2 point shy of first!) She has not been in obedience since, but we plan to finish that title up in the near future.
