Brinkley

Cindel's Uptown Girl BCAT CGC RATNX TKP MAC1

Brinkley was "Rocket" from the 2017 Storybook Litter. From the very beginning she has been a smart and driven working dog. When she was only 5 months old, Brinkley  earned her first AKC title, the Novice Trick Title (TKN) and she also earned her AKC STAR Puppy Award on the same evening.  In 2018 she earned her Intermediate Trick Title (TKI), her Advanced Trick Title (TKA), and her Performer Trick Title (TKP). Brinkley then earned her Novice Barn Hunt Title (RATN) in 2019. Brinkley earned her Canine Good Citizen Title (CGC) during the summer of 2020, and her first Fast CAT title (BCAT) in the fall of 2020. 

Brinkley is such a fun girl to have as part of our family, and we are totally in love with her. She is a super smart and athletic girl who has a great working drive.  Brinkley loves to play and rough house with her mom Maya, her Great Auntie Reina, and her baby brother Pumbaa. She is also our cuddle puppy and you can often find her snuggling up to one of us on the couch whenever she gets the chance.

Brinkley has completed her health testing and her data can be found at the OFA Website (CHIC#158022) or on the PWDCA Website in the Health and Litter Log. 


Miss Brinkley earned her BCAT title in September 2020.  Fast CAT is a sport for dogs that is basically the 100  yard dash. The dogs chase a lure (plastic bag) down the 100 yard course and their score is based on the mph that they run. 

We are so proud of our speedy girl who loves to run and loves to compete. Seeing the joy and determination on her face as she runs down that course is the best part! We look forward to working with Brinkley on the next title level in Fast CAT, the DCAT title. 


Brinkley earned her Barn Hunt Association RATN title in October 2019! Not only did she earn her title but she also received High in Class and a first place finish on one of her runs. We are so proud of this super smart girl!

Brinkley loves to train and compete in BHA trials! She is not an obvious hunter and has a very subtle alert when she finds the rat. I have trained her to "touch" the rat tube when she finds it so I know which tube has the rat. I sure do love this smart, sweet, and beautiful girl! 

Miss Brinkley is a super smart girl with lots of personality. She is never opposed to posing for a photo when the opportunity arrises! These photos were taken at a recent Barn Hunt trial where I had to have a serious talk with her about what her job was supposed to be. Thank you to KDR Photography for capturing these super cute candid photos.

Brinkley is learning about water trial training. It is currently not her favorite thing to do, but she does love playing with her other PWD friends and family!

Brinkley has been a driven and agile athlete from a very early age.
