Oden (a PJ Labs pup by Hobbie & Gunner)

See Oden's latest win at the top of the page with Camo!

Update (December 2007):
Oden has completed his AKC CDX with placements in the ring for all of his qualifications!


Here you see Oden and owner Jeff, after Oden received the second and third legs on his CD showing in Novice B.  Oden was in his second show in Novice B and received his second leg with a score of 196.5+ which ended up with a third place ribbon.  He  was placed in 4th place over all in Novice B with 21 dogs being shown.  It all came down to a three way tie for second place and they had to do a run off for the remaining positions! Oden continuously shows his desire to perform well in the ring and as this was only hiss second show... we are very proud that he did so well!
