ARCH Drumhill-Mt Airy Third XA Charm
Codi is my 6 yr old Greater Swiss Mtn
Dog.  He is my first and last swissy as
they definately broke the mold when
they made him. He is my heart dog,
my soul mate. There will never be
another one like him, and I don't even
want to try. We have a bond with each
other that will never be reproduced
with any dog I may ever have in the
future.

At first Codi was just my friend and
companion, but soon after his first
birthday I was bitten by the obedience
bug and began training him to
compete. While that is still a dream
not realized, we have found our niche
in rally obedience.
Our first accomplishment was earned at the age of 1 year, where we
(really he) passed his Canine Good Citizen test.
With a face like this, is it a
surprise that he passed?This test is a series of behaviors such as sitting
politely for petting and brushing, walking through a crowd just to name a
few. The purpose of this test is to demonstrate that your dog can be well
behaved in a public situation. You can find out more information at

2007 was a great year for us. Not only did we finish our APDT Level 2 Championship in April at Sussex Cty
Fairgrounds, we also earned our ARCH! ARCH stands for APDT Rally Champion. Then on December 31st we
earned our ARCH X at St Hubert's in Madison NJ! Talk about ending the year in style! So for 2008, we can
concentrate on earning that Level 3 title then work on ARCHEX.
On the AKC front, we made our debut in AKC rally this year as well quickly earning our Novice Rally title in
three shows. And in 2008 we'll work on earning our  Advanced & Excellent titles as well.
