Desko (Boone x Trouble) and Lukas are enthusiastic THS'ler and were able to record some successes. Here are a few impressions:
After a fantastic three days of trials in Holland at the JJ Ranch, we landed back home happy and proud. What a great trial, with a huge starting field. The highlight was the Postadvanced Trials...., simply fantastic. Unfortunately, Gam and I weren't able to take part because we didn't have the advanced titles yet. But Gam made up for that within a day. I am more than satisfied with what she showed. With a total of 13 runs on ducks, sheep and cattle this weekend, Gam first completed her Open titles on all three species and then her Advanced titles on sheep and ducks. She qualified all her runs with well over 100 points 😍my highlight was a Sheep run with 119 points 😍this was also rewarded with 2x High combined non WTCH and 1x High combined. So Gam is now

.... and as there were still a few Sheep runs on Sunday, I started the Grizzy. The good boy did so well and was rewarded with 92 and 91 points plus a high in trial started. So Grizzy can also put his first herding title behind his name.

My great Gam -Topinambur's Gamora (Ty x Peaches) actually won the Farmtrial Yearend Award 2023 from DWAS 🥰 what a joy....and thanks to DWAS 🤗
There is a new Working Trial Champion in the Topinambur family.

The dear Anita has reached the WTCH with her Foxi ( Dude x Peaches) in September 2023. I am mega proud of the two, you have done a great job....also here again very proud and hearty congratulations to you both 🥰.
The great Crumble sister Nylah (Boone x Trouble) has qualified with her mistress Kim for the dutch championship (agility) and will therefore compete there in June against a strong starting field. I'm super proud of Kim and her Nylah and the entire Topinambur team is keeping their fingers and paws crossed.....way to go....Nylah and Kim 🤩
This is what Kim writes:
Nylah! What a little awesome girl she is 💓
We are invited for the Dutch Championships (agility) of the Netherlands for the first time 23th of June.
Nylah is a little rocket that needed time to develop in the agility. She developed this year very quickly. So good, that we may compete at the Dutch Championships 😄
To get invited to the Dutch Championships we needed a Winpoint on the agility course. So we got this year 2 Winpoints on the agility en therefore we are invited.
I’m really looking forward to this big competition where the best of the best of the Netherlands competes. We will have a great time and a lot of fun and new experience.
There is another rescue dog among the Topinamburs 🥰

Saphir (Levi x Laiva) are now starting in the THS....I can only say: this team is top notch 😍
Saphir was able to get 2nd place in the tournament dog sport in Weiden this weekend 😊
Saphir took 1st place and won the day in the four-way fight (THS) today and Sammy took 1st place in the sprint four-way fight 😊🎉
Pinu (Levi x Raven 2021) is being trained as a species detection dog by his owners Brenda and Adam. I'm totally fascinated and proud of the three... just great what this Topinambur Pups and his people achieve!
Today some news from our caterpillar tracker dog 😄. For eight months we have been practicing, with lots of play, fun and joy, for Pinu to find and display a certain scent. The week before last we retrained him for the real scent of caterpillars during the training holidays and continued practicing in the garden. And yesterday we visited the only May bird population in Baden-Württemberg for the first time and watched with excitement whether Pinu would find caterpillars (which we hadn't hidden) in the terrain. And this is what it looked like:
Our hero led us to 9 caterpillars on 4 areas 💪🍾🎉🥰 it's incredible what he's doing and we also admire him for how seriously he takes his job
...and of course all this with official approval!!!
Little Pearl (Trouble x Bear) passed her BH1 in Switzerland with her owner Svenja.

October 2019
This year I was finally able to breathe trial air with my girls.
I started Laiva in all three classes for the first time in September ... and it was just great. She had 8 starts in two days and got 7 qualifying scores ... the ducks weren't so good for us ;-) At the end of these two days the mouse was rewarded with the High combined started all weekend award ....
Two weeks later we went to Wrohm for a trial and Laiva also completed each of her 5 runs with a qualifying score.
I am really super proud of her development and I look forward to working with her.
In Wrohm I spontaneously entered the P´Twochen ... ..our first starts in the advanced class ...... what can I say: it was just great ... .. with scores of 111 and 101 on sheep and geese, she mastered her debut more as sovereign !!
And if I hadn't just crossed the line in the second sheep run ... well ... then. :-)
But next year I promise improvement ....
We were on the late summer trial in Hösbach. My three girls did a great job.
Peaches made her Working Trial Champion with great cattle runs.
Raven showed what she can do in the open class with ducks and sheep and was rewarded with scores of 111/110/111/100/104/102.
She also earned the High In Trial Open Rosette twice.
And then there was P'Two, which I actually did not want to start this year but now well ... we dared sheep and ducks and it was simply awesome!
With 6 qualifying scores at 6 starts on the two animal species with 94/92/91/87 / etc. points she has achieved her started titles and then also won the HIGH COMBINED STARTED ALL WEEKEND AWARD Rosettes ... .. I'm so super proud !!!
Of course, I also don't forget Kathrin with Phoenix (Ruby x Keen), who did mega beautiful runs and the sisters score head-to-head ...
. great job you two!
....and then Anita with Foxi (Peachy x Dude), who convinced with great performances on their first trial and were rewarded with the started title for sheep and cattle ...great team the two!
Phoenix and Raven (Ruby x Keen) rocked the first trial in 2017.
It was the first trial ever for Raven.
Both girls did great runs and can now be proud of
the title "Open Trial Dog ducks sheep (OTDds)".
Also the little nose white Topinambur's Starlight "Curly"
(Peachy x Dude) has passed her companion dog exam with Mistress Carola and will surely rock the agi scene soon
.... what diligent puppies
Topinambur's TwinkleStar "Ayleen" on November 13th. 2016 with Mistress Gaby passed her companion dog exam with a very good! Well done....congratulations little star!
