Dunham Lake LunaTrick "Finnick" BCAT SWM SDW ADP LEVEL 1 CSS-L5 RATS ELT-1 ELT-2 and Summit x2!  Sharing from Beth Moon owner and trainer of Dunham Lake Luna Trick “Finnick”…as his breeder, I could not be more proud of Beth and Finnick! Dunham Lake Aussies making more firsts for our breed! Congratulations Beth and Finnick! Introducing Finnick 𝐒𝐌𝐓𝐱𝟐.

Finnick earned his 2nd Summit title this weekend in Estes Park, Colorado with a 2nd place overall! I’m so proud that he consistently searched his little heart out in a tough trial. I just can’t contain my excitement! In a surprising turn of events he also took 2nd place in the mixed container search, which may have shocked me more than his second place overall.

Thanks to my sister Emily for supporting us this weekend. She was with us during our Summit title last fall, so she may be our lucky charm. ** Summit is the highest possible Nosework title in NACSW. It is filled with challenging puzzles, major mind games for the handlers and high highs and low lows. Only the top 20% of dogs title each trial, which makes titles difficult to achieve. This was Finnick’s 4th try and his 2nd title.

Another incredible first for our breed and another Dunham Lake Aussie making history for our breed! The first Australian Terrier to a Summit Title. This is a huge accomplishment! Text and photos below by his owner and trainer Beth Moon. I am over the moon! Congratulations Beth and Finnick you make me so proud! 

From Beth: Introducing Summit Dunham Lake Lunatrick “Finnick”The 1st Australian Terrier to earn this elusive title. If I look giddy in the picture it is because I am over the moon and I just can’t believe we titled and took 2nd place in our first Summit trial. Our first search was magic as Finnick darted through an amphitheater picking off hides and earning us a 1st place ribbon. Our last search of the weekend Finnick covered the space and we got out fast, earning another 1st place. We had a few bummer searches but picked ourselves up and kept going. I’m just astonished and so happy. Finnick and I have had our eye on this prize and have worked hard toward this goal and we got a little lucky this weekend too.

Finnick and his owner/ trainer Beth Moon, they are on a roll. He is the first Australian Terrier to earn his ELT 1 & 2 only a few points away from his ELT 3! Two back to back 1st places in elite is pretty rare. I actually don’t know anyone that has pulled that off. Here are some of the video’s from this big day for Finnick his owner Beth Moon,his breeder, me and for the Australian Terrier breed! Making more firsts! What a team!

WHAT A DAY and the Canyons Cluster in Tucson!! It started out with a Q (our 2nd) in Utility/A and a first place.That was followed by a first in Open B and a first place. With that I had won High Combined. I was almost ready to cry I was so excited - and shanking. The score from Open put me in the running for High in Trial but we had to wait until the end to see.We'd done it - both HC and HIT. My little red kangaroo got it all together today and really put on a show. It was a pleasure to show to Judge Curt Curtis again, we showed to him way back in Novice. Thank you to all the exhibitors for their encouragement and support - what a great group of people we have in this sport.And special thank you to a lady ringside just watching (but she has a Xolo she's going to show in rally) who took photos for me. And to my wonderful husband Ray, who stayed until the end today. Webe adores Ray and will spend all his time looking out of the ring to find him - and has on occasion run out of the ring to get to him. SO the poor man has to hide out and rarely if ever gets to see anything we do in the ring.
