Gerard's pedigree includes many ancestors with Obedience, Agility, and Conformation Champion titles.
EVEN BIGGER!
Gerard goes beyond exceptional in Agility. He is the first and only Standard Poodle to be both an Agility Grand Champion and a Conformation Grand Champion. So far in 2024, Gerard has been in the finals at the AKC National Agility Championship, the finals at Westminster Agility Championship, and the only Standard Poodle to be invited to the AKC Agility Premier Cup. And he does it in style - 85% First places; 100% of the time his Qualifying runs are in the placements. Gerard is the only Standard Poodle to top the Bad Dog Agility Power 60 rankings for 24" jumping dogs - that's all breeds! (First quarter 2024)
HUGE!
Gerard reached the pinnacle of the Agility world - MACH! That's Master Agility Champion. To obtain the MACH title, one must qualify in Standard Agility and Agility Jumpers with Weaves at the same trial (double Q or QQ) - and do it 20 times! 90% of Gerard's double Qs have been first places.
BIG NEWS!
Gerard earned a Working Certificate (WC) at the Poodle Club of America's hunt tests in October 2021 at the August Busch Conservation Area near St. Louis. The test consists of retrieving two ducks on land and two ducks from water.Gerard is a load of fun! And very smart and eager to please. He earned his Novice Trick Dog title at five months old. On his six month birthday, he went Reserve Winner under respected AKC judge Randy Garrens. Gerard earned his first point toward his championship before his seven month birthday.
Honored that Gerard has been named a finals qualifier in the 2020 AKC Trick Dog Competition. AKC notified the qualifiers via a surprise package in the mail.
Gerard continues to impress! Earns an AKC Champion title at eight months old; all his CH points came from the Bred-by-exhibitor class. Gained the Grand Champion title at 10 months old. He earned an Intermediate Trick Dog title at just over seven months old. Gerard is an absolute Star on the Agility course.
