The American Kennel Club is now offering fetch certifications for dogs in the Valley.
For the first time in its 140-year history, the American Kennel Club is offering certification for dogs in the “fetch” category.The Portuguese Water Dog, accustomed to wowing judges in the show ring, struggled to stay on task. This was a fetch competition, Merlin’s first. At one point, Merlin’s handler had to walk 15 yards across the lush turf and retrieve a buoy herself.
Another dog at the event retrieved a buoy with ease, serving it back into his handler’s hands every time. About two dozen dogs took their turns in fetch tests on Sunday in north Phoenix. Most of them earned a “novice” title and a ribbon. “At the more advanced levels, the rules will get a little tighter and the skills will get a little tougher,” said Kathy McDermott, president of a local Portuguese Water Dog club that hosted the fetch event.
