Annette Teitz
Annette Tietz has been competing in AKC performance and companion events for more than 20 years. Now focusing on Scentwork, Annette has competed with all three of her golden retrievers. Monroe received his Detective and “Super Elite” titles in 2024. Monroe also competed at the AKC Master Nationals where he advanced to the finals and finished as the #1 Golden Retriever. Wilson and Calypso are in the final stretch for their “Super Elite” titles and both are competing at the Detective level. There is an ongoing fascination with the science behind odor – why it does what it does! Annette also enjoys see the partnership between the teams and knowing that everyone is going home with the best dog!!
