Working Belgian Malinois
A special congratulations to Anneliese Johnson and Tanzi for rocking their Frenchring Brevet yesterday. She decided less than 2 weeks ago to compete in a sport she’s never really trained for and scored a 96.7/100. Two of the points lost were expected to maintain her Mondio-style Defense of Handler. Good work you two!

Fuck Cancer. One of the kindest people I have known, Debra Parker Hawkins passed away last night in California. Deb was an amazing dog trainer and even better Lady. That wonderful Lady changed my life and started me on a path that I will be forever grateful for. Through the crazy protection dog sport of Mondioring, I have met so many wonderful people who have added much joy and certainly a mental health break to my otherwise very serious career. To this wonderful Lady I say, rest in peace. You will be forever missed. To cancer…Fuck you.. -Gail Warling Marit
Some say it is all about the dogs. Truthfully, it is all about the people we meet that share our passion… – Donna — with Debra Parker-Hawkins and Maya Conrad.
I am very saddened to say that USMRA lost a great person and good friend. I will always remember Deb for her genuinely warm smile. She was dedicated and followed her passion in the Dog sport world. Deb shared enthusiasm and excitement with many people and will be sorely missed.
RIP my friend. You made me smile many times. I miss you. -Donald Lee
