Bring your Portuguese Water Dog to participate not only in the K9 gift exchange, but to participate in Trick Dog evaluation and earn a title! Trick Dog evaluations will be done by Kelly Liedtke. You will need to bring your own props for the Trick Dog evaluations. Cost: $20.00 per dog Limit: 2 dogs per household Show off your PWD’s tricks and earn a Trick Dog title! There are five AKC Trick Titles you and your PWD can earn. For those just starting out, for the AKC Novice Trick Dog title, your dog performs 10 skills from the Novice list. If your dog has a Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certificate or title on record at AKC, it can do 5 Novice tricks (CGC + 5) to earn the Novice title. Dogs that have completed the Novice title may also test for advanced titles. See more title information on the AKC site. To participate in the Tricks Title evaluation and receive your title:
