GCHB Smoulder du Joie de Vie CD RE FDC DCAT SWN CGC TKN FITS

Exclusively Owner-Handled by Cynthia Akers

Cynthia Akers achieved this with her first Beauceron. Cynthia has developed Smoulder across conformation, obedience, Rally, scent work, and athletic activities, and his show career has been owner-handled. She deserves recognition for learning the demands of each venue and continuing to build his skills. I am proud of the patient training, preparation, and enthusiasm behind this versatile team.

GCHB — Bronze Grand Champion: 100 cumulative Grand Championship points after earning the underlying Championship and Grand Championship. CD — Companion Dog: three qualifying Novice obedience performances, demonstrating heeling, recall, and other foundational exercises. RE — Rally Excellent: three qualifying off-leash courses with advanced signed exercises and jumps.

FDC — Farm Dog Certified: two qualifying farm-environment tests under different judges, evaluating manners and composure around typical farm sights and sounds. DCAT: 500 cumulative points from timed 100-yard Fast CAT sprints. SWN — Scent Work Novice: Novice titles across Containers, Interior, Exterior, and Buried, with three qualifying searches in each element.

CGC recognizes ten everyday manners exercises. TKN recognizes demonstrated Novice tricks. FITS — Fit Dog Silver recognizes documented participation in qualifying fitness activities. Smoulder’s titles reflect repeated work in very different settings, supported by an owner who keeps finding new ways to learn with him.
