Joshua (now at the Bridge)

(RIP, good buddy 10/27/01—5/31/12)

Joshua: CH Windy City’s War Games, RE, CD, VNE, V-AOM... Joshua was a Champion from the Puppy classes, earning 4 majors before turning 1 year old. He earned two obedience CD legs back-to-back at the 2005 GMNEA specialty, going HIGH IN TRIAL both days from the Novice B class, and finished his CD in three consecutive trials. Joshua earned his Rally Novice title at the 2006 NEAA Nationals with a 2nd place and a perfect score, his Rally Advanced at the Peoria Obedience Trial in September 2006, his Rally Excellent at the DeWitt, IA trial in 2007. He was a 2006 Eukanuba qualifier (a Top 25 Elkhound), and received a Versatility Award of Merit (V-AOM) from the NEAA in 2007. He was the #1 Rally Novice Elkhound in 2006. At the GMNEA Elkhound Specialty in 2009, Joshua was selected for an Award of Merit—out of the Veteran’s class! He repeated this performance at the NEINEA Specialty in June 2010 , and at the March 2012 GMNEA specialty, was Best Veteran in Sweeps. Joshua is recognized by the Norwegian Elkhound Association of America as a Versatile Norwegian Elkhound (VNE). A proven but sparingly used sire, Josh produced four champion offspring (Carmin, Donny, Tosca, and Hannah). Josh went to the Rainbow Bridge on 5/31/12. We miss him terribly.
