Notes & Brags:
  • Dec 2022: Niko got his NACSW Elite Champion title in Guerneville.
  • Nov 2021: Niko was in the Grants Pass, Oregon NACSW Elite Nosework Trial and earned his Elite title. Sue is very proud of him as this was quite an accomplishment.
  • Oct 2021: Niko took 3rd place overall and 3rd place in one of the individual searches at the Paso Robles Nose Work Trail on October 3rd, despite the 100 degree heat.
  • Jan 2020: Niko placed 10th out of 28 dogs in an NACSW Elite trial on January 3rd in Healdsburg, earning 68 points towards his Elite 1.
  • Aug 4, 2019: Niko earned his NACSW NW3-Elite title in Cambria, CA on August 4.
  • May 2018: Niko earned his NW3-E (exterior) element specialty title at the Santa Paula trial.
  • Apr 2018: Niko earned his second NW3 title on May 5th at the NACSW Trial in Rancho Cucamonga. (He already had the first NW3 title as of last summer, but you need three NW3 legs to earn NW3 Elite, so we are now two legs towards that.) He also earned that day three NW3 element titles: NW3-C (Container), NW3-I (Interior) and NW3-V (Vehicle). It was a really hot day in the mid 90's and it was a very good trial, including one interior search that was a blank (which is allowed by the rules but not typical to see).
  • Feb 2018: Niko got his TKN, TKI, TKA, and TKP – all on the same day. His TKP (Performer) test was themed around the Oakland A’s “Bark in the Park” day.
  • Sep 2017: Niko finished his NW3 title at Pacific Palisades. It was only his second attempt, so his mom is super proud.
  • Oct 2016: Niko got his NW2 title in Reno. He did a great job searching in the heavy rain.
  • Apr 2016: Niko earned his Rally Excellent title at the Chief Solano Kennel Club Show in Vallejo on April 23. He was entered in both the morning and afternoon rally trials and qualified in each to complete his title. Particular “hooray” for him getting that done outdoors.
  • Oct 2015: Niko got his NW1 title at Josette’s Nose Work Trial and won the Harry Award for most outstanding rescue dog. I was super proud of him.
  • Jul 2015: Niko got his RA title, earning his final two legs in Carmel at the American Rottweiler Club and Del Monte Kennel Club trials.
  • Jan 2015: Niko got his 3rd novice leg, a 4th place ribbon and completed his CD title in San Jose at the Mission Bell Cluster.
  • Sep 2014: Niko got his 2nd CD leg and 1st Rally Advanced leg at Mensona.
  • Apr 2014: Niko finished his Beginner Novice title at the Chief Solano Show. He got first place with a score of 194 ½.
  • Mar 2014: Niko finished his Rally Novice title at the Vintage Cluster in 3 straight days with scores of 86 (2nd Place – his first show!), 96 (4th Place), and 97 (1st Place). He also got 2 legs towards his Beginner Novice title with scores of 188 (4th Place) and 189 ½.
