Joy showed her promise early earning her CGC award as a 4 month old puppy and her TDI registration at just 12 months of age. Joy also earned her TT (Temperament Test) with a high score of 99 out of a possible 100!

Joy finished her Rally Novice (RN) title in style earning a perfect score of 100 and a 4th place out of 47 dogs! And, then Joy moved up to Rally Advanced (RA) title earning her first and second RA legs with a scores of 98. Joy finished her Rally Excellent (RE) title trialing three days in a row with placements in very large classes earning her place as the #6 ranked Rottweiler in the nation for 2005 at barely 18 months of age .







Joy then debuted in agility earning a Novice Jumpers with Weaves (NAJ) leg in her very first trial with a second place! Joy quickly finished up her NAJ and Novice Agility (NA) title with four first placements and two seconds!! Joy moved up to Open Jumpers agility and earned her first OAJ leg her first weekend out with yet another placement!

Joy took a break from agility to earn her AD and BH in the course of 24 hours despite some very challenging weather conditions; she offered a very honest performance and earned gracious remarks on her critique. Back to the rally ring, Joy earned her Rally Advanced Excellent (RAE) title with many placements and high scores...including perfect scores of 100 garnered in both classes on the same day!

Never one to miss strutting her stuff, Joy went back to the breed ring accumulating points to her American Championship owner/handled! Joy just needs her majors to finish!

Joy will continue to be shown on a limited basis in 2008...be sure to stop by and say "Hi" to this special girl (and her 'herd' of Glen De Fir Dachshunds!) as she enjoys trialing and showing throughout New England.

When not trialing and showing, Joy is diligently serving as a Seizure Alert and Mobility Service Dog being one of only two Rottweilers in the country currently charged with this self-less work as a Seizure Alert Dog.
