Essence was destined to shine from the day she was born. Her quality and potential were realised from an early age - BCC / RU BOB at the Adelaide Royal Show (2019) aged 8 months, followed by a Best Exhibit in Group / Best Puppy in Show at New England Celtic & ABKC on 28 September. 2020 saw her win Best in Group (Tuggerah Lakes) and 2 Runner Up to Best in Groups, as well as Best of Breed at the Canberra Royal Show. You met her at the Sydney Royal Easter Show where she won Best Baby Puppy in Breed. At her next Show, Essence won Best Baby Puppy in Group - Lake Macquarie ABKC. Her first Show over 6 months saw her win Best Minor Puppy in Show at the WSSDA NSW on 20 July. Above all, Essence is a cuddly couch companion, always on the lookout for a snuggle up with anyone who she can get close to. Essence made breed History at the age of 6 months and 26 days - her Qualifying Score and 3rd Place in Rally O Novice (RN) at Grafton on 6 July meant that she became the YOUNGEST WSSD to earn a Rally Obedience Pass. She powered on to earn her RN title with 1st Place (98/100) on 27 September at the New England Celtic & ABKC, aged 9 months & 18 days, the youngest WSSD in Australia with a Rally title. Canberra Royal Show - Feb 2020 - Best of Breed - saw her leading the Dogzonline Point Score until it was suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic which led to the shutdown of all dog activities. 23 May 2021 - and we're out doing dog sports, with Essence gaining her 3rd Pass for her Trick Dog - Starters (TK.S) title. Events were curtailed, but Essence gaited 20 kms for her Endurance Test title on 24 April 2022. Followed in the Winter of 2024 by hiking 4 legs, each of 16 kms, carrying 15% of her body weight to earn her Working Novice Pack Dog title
