My Accomplishments

Dogs trained/titled/handled by K. Thingvall By Name | By Venue Offices Held/Judging Assignments/Demos     I have competed with dogs in French Ring, MondioRing, Schutzhund, PSA, NADF, Herding, Agility, Obedience, Tracking, Weight Pull, Flyball and other venues. I have walked on the trial field over 400 times in over 12 different venues and and put over 100 titles and certifications on various dogs, most requiring 2-3 legs to complete (stats as of early 2019).  My personal dogs have been the #1 dog in the Nation in both French Ring and Herding, plus many times High in Trial.
