Erik Pavkovich
Member
Erik got involved with Schutzhund in 2015 with his show line Vince vom Frankengold. Unfortunately, Vince didn't enjoy the sport as much as Erik so he decided to focus on his helper work instead. He eventually became front-half trial certified in 2016 prior to taking a break..
Erik then purchased his first working line in 2022 and the pair are working towards their BH and IGP1 in 2023.
Erik and Moor de Parayas are gearing up for their BH and AD in May 2023.
Lasha Anguish
Member
Lasha started in the sport of Schutzhund 10 years ago with her female Border Collie “Navi”. Border collies are not a breed many expect to see on the field, however they were a very successful team achieving their BH, TR1, and OB1. As well as the sport of Schutzhund, Lasha is currently also actively involved and competing in sports such as Flyball, Nosework, and Disc.
Lasha became hooked to the sport of Schutzhund with her dog Navi and decided to get her first German Shepherd “Onzo Von Der Staatschmat” in 2015.
Lasha and Onzo achieved their BH title however due to some health issues that Onzo faced they could not go any further in sports.
In 2019 Lasha got her first Malinois Fireballs Cinnamon Whisky - aka 'Cyna'. Cyna successfully titled in Nose-work and Disc and is also actively training in the sport of Flyball.
Lasha is focusing on Cyna for 2023, actively pursuing their training in Schutzhund with hopes to achieve their BH and IGP1 in the 2023 trial season!
