In just 2 short months of testing, Noodle completed her Master Hunter title with consistently high scores. She proved herself in many challenging conditions - both weather and circumstances. Her drive and trainability, along with her spectacular talent made this advanced title a reality! This Master Hunter title also gives her the title of VX2 (Versatile Excellent 2) from the Weimaraner Club of America.

Rowan - "Image's N About Time's Making Dreams Come True" - takes Winners Bitch and Best of Winners at the Weimaraner Club of America 2021 Winter Specialty in Ardmore, OK for a major! Rowan is from the Pretzel x Country litter, and is a littermate to Dolphin.
November was a great month for About Time Weims in the field!
NOODLE: Earned THREE passes in Master Hunter, with some very high scores! Noodle has only been doing MH since last month, and she has shown beautiful intensity and drive along with great focus. She is truly a joy to take in the field! Noodle only needs two more passes to earn her Master Hunter title.
PIZZA: Pizza was on a major roll this month, earning THREE Senior Hunter passes and finishing her Senior Hunter title! Her last SH run was beautiful, with master-level handling and several scores of perfect "10". We love her speed and pure joy in the field, and are excited for her future as she is just a little over 2 years old.
DOLPHIN: Dolphin showed off the beautiful fierce point he inherited from his daddy to earn THREE passes in Junior Hunter, finishing his JH title. He is a wonderful example of training "up", as he consistently held his point through the flush and blank shot as a junior. The sky is the limit for this young man, at only 18 months of age!
All three, like all of our dogs in every event, are 100% owner-handled and owner-trained. We are so thankful to all of the field trainers who have helped us out along the way, as it takes a village (and a LOTTA birds!) to create a broke gun dog!

Pizza and Dolphin attended the WVA Ratings Test hosted by the Greater Cincinnati Weimaraner Club. Pizza was steady as a rock through the flush and shot and had a beautiful direct retrieve to earn her Shooting Dog (SD) rating. Dolphin was equally as steady to the flush and blank shot on multiple birds and showed beautiful hunting style (and a very dramatic point!) to earn his Novice Shooting Dog (NSD) rating. Pizza also earned another Senior Hunter leg in the hunt test earlier that day, and Dolphin earned a Junior Hunter leg (again holding steady through everything).
This NSD title also quaified Dolphin for his "Versatile" rating. All 4 dogs on the About Time competition team are not only Grand Champions, but also Versatile rated.

Dolphin finished his championship after only one month of showing, at 7 months of age. He finished with FOUR majors, including two specialty majors! It was a very short, but very sweet ride to his championship, and we are supremely proud of him. He will take some time off from conformation so he can mature, and we will work on our agility foundations and field training for the next year.
Pizza started her agility career the day she turned 15 months old (October 31, 2020). Within three weekends, she managed to complete her Novice Agility standard title and her Novice Jumpers title.

After a very short puppy show career of only a month and a half, Pizza finished her championship the day before her first birthday by winning three majors. Her show career started with only a month of showing at 6 months of age in February, 2020 winning 7 points in 7 shows. Shows shut down starting in March, and she came back at the end of July to pick up three majors to finish it out. Not one to rest on her laurels, she went out two days later and picked up a Best of Opposite at a specialty with over 13 bitch specials entered, and then picked up another Best of Opposite the next day.

Dolphin went to his very first AKC show at age 4 1/2 months to do the 4-6 month puppy class, and went home with a Puppy Best In Show! He decided to make it a clean sweep, winning Best In Show all three days of the Smithfield, Ohio show cluster. He went into the show ring with his tail up and a happy grin as he gaited around the ring. This boy was born to show off! He finished out his beginner puppy career with 3 best in show, 6 group ones, a group two, and a group three in 4-6 month puppy.
After a nearly year-long hiatus from the agility ring (thank you COVID!), Noodle came out this summer to finish out her Open Jumpers title, putting her at the Excellent Level in all 3 AKC agility classes (Standard, Jumpers, and FAST). She also earned titles through UKI's at-home agility trial program this spring.
