Westminster This Weekend
Sarah here! Just a reminder that the 12th Annual Westminster Masters Agility Championship is happening this Saturday, February 8th, and for the first time in many years, the finals will air LIVE on FOX from 4:30 PM to 7:00 PM ET. It’s always one of the most exciting events in agility, and now we’ll get to watch it unfold in real time!
This year, all eyes are on Jennifer Crank—will she add another Westminster Championship to her vault of accomplishments? She’ll be competing with Sheltie Bee and Border Collies Surprise and Hi5, while her mother, Susan Crank, runs Sheltie Sting, and her son, Ethan Bauchmoyer, takes on the course with Border Collie Jack. Three generations competing on the same weekend at Westminster makes for an unforgettable family affair.
Esteban and I have seen Ethan’s competitive fire firsthand—teaming up with him to take down enemies in Fortnite and Marvel Rivals on PlayStation. Now, we can’t wait to watch him bring that same intensity to New York.
Go get ’em, Ethan!
IFCS Team USA
Team USA for IFCS 2025 has been announced! Selected by USDAA, this team represents some of the best handlers and dogs in the country. We’re especially excited to see Abby David and Bungee on the roster! Our VIP members know Bungee well from small space sequences training, and those who joined us for the NAC Prep course saw Bungee in action there too. The 2025 IFCS World Agility Championship will be held at CS Ranch in Givrins, Switzerland, from June 16–22. We’ll be cheering on Abby, Bungee, and the rest of Team USA as they prepare to compete on the international stage!

Wild Cards
If you’re looking for a fun, charming police series with great character chemistry, sharp humor, and pop culture references for people my age, Wild Cards might just be your next binge-watch. Sarah and I flew through season 1, which dropped in 2024 with 10 episodes. The show is Canadian—which explains why the money in the show looked suspiciously fake at first.
The series delivers a refreshing twist on the buddy cop genre, pairing a straight-laced detective with an unconventional partner, and it works brilliantly. We loved the witty dialogue, the evolving character arcs, and the comedic moments that set Wild Cards apart from your standard police drama. And for anyone who remembers Jason Priestley from Beverly Hills, 90210—yes, he’s in it, and I love him in this role. No, I didn’t watch 90210 (that was my sister, for reals), but I’m fully on board with his performance here.
Now, about that frustrating international release schedule—season 2 is already halfway out, but only in Canada. However, in the course of writing this, I discovered that season 2, episode 1 officially releases in the U.S. today! We’re hooked—will you be?
