The AKC has launched a new opportunity for performance titles available to earn from the comfort and safety of your own home, in light of the impacts of COVID-19 on dog sporting events. Known as the Virtual Home Manners program, evaluation works in a similar fashion to Trick Dog and Canine Good Citizen (which also means that dogs can earn them even if they aren't a purebred! An AKC registration of PALS registration number is all you need.)
There are two levels to the title, Puppy and Adult. Wish and Kizzie have both been evaluated and have passed, so we are excited to announce that, pending AKC approval, Wish will now be known as Samhain's As You Wish RN BCAT CGC TKI VHMA, and Kizzie will now be known as Samhain's Everything Happens for a Reason CGC TKN VHMA! To learn more about the Virtual Home Manners program, the exercises involved, finding an evaluator and more, click here. In other news, Wish also had his CAER eye exam today for his OFA eye evaluation. He passed with flying colors and his eyes have been scored as Normal/Normal. This means that, pending OFA submission and confirmation, Wish has now had all of the health testing recommended for the breed and now qualifies for his CHIC number and certification! -Kaylee
