Pictured in summer 2019
Three weeks ago Rory joined a group of elite performances dogs ... the AKC awarded him this additional title: the “Versatile Companion Title” or VCD1.
From the AKC: “The Versatile Companion Dog” titles or VCD are titles that are designed to acknowledge and reward owners of all breeds that compete in Obedience, Agility and Tracking events. The VCD titles are a way to showcase their tremendous talent in so many areas.”
Earning his CD on June 16th gave Rory the AKC’s prestigious VCD1, because he has earned titles in three performance venues: obedience(CD), tracking (TD), and agility (NAP and NJP) --- quite an achievement, especially since Rory won’t be 3 years old until August. And he has already earned advanced titles in tracking (TDX) and agility (AXP and OJP).
