~ DOG OF THE MONTH ~
March
Each month starting in February 2026, the PDS team will be choosing a dog at random to participate in this fun feature.
If chosen the PDS team will contact you for information. We can't wait to introduce the amazing dogs that play at PDS to all of you!
Energetic, watchful, determined, alert, fearless, loyal and obedient, all used to describe the Doberman Pinscher.
Many people just watched a Doberman win the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show last month showing just had stunning they can be as a show dog, and we are honoured to highlight the breed with an equally stunning representative focusing on the breeds versatility as a performance partner.
CH Janterra's Backstage Pass TT RI RA CA ATD JTS JTVX RATCH ULI TLI SDI LC-10L Better known to his friends as Roadie.
He’s handsome, elegant, and just a little bit fancy. His temperament is everything a Doberman should be — loyal, steadfast, aloof with strangers, protective of his people... and stalker-like devotion to his human partner Kelly.
He’s a high-octane, high-drive, turbo-charged goofball with an outrageous sense of humour.
At practices and trials, he’s famous for his “hold my beer” moments — those perfectly-timed, wildly inappropriate antics that leave everyone in stitches.
Once while trialing in Rally Excellent - off leash, focused, feeling good. In the ring next to us, a tiny dog was doing the dumbbell retrieve. Roadie was heeling beautifully. Until the dumbbell was thrown. Roadie launched. Off leash, over the fence into the neighbouring ring like a furry missile with a mission. He shoved that Pomeranian-sized dumbbell into his mouth, whipped around, and raced back to Kelly at full speed. A flawless, textbook come-front. Perfect position. Bright eyes. Dumbbell presented proudly. Wrong ring. Wrong sport. Technically stunning. 100% Roadie!
You never quite know which Roadie will show up: the brilliant, laser-focused sport dog… or the completely unhinged class clown. Either way, you will be entertained.
And while he’s the king of comedy, don't be fooled — Roadie is sharp as a tack. An evil genius with a heart of gold.
Roadie may be ten, but don’t tell him that — his body and brain are still clocking in at a solid two years old, according to Kelly.
Roadie’s true love is the sport of Barn Hunt, dirt, dust, hay, tunnels and RATS - what's not to love? Roadie recently completed his RATCH title.
You’ll be able to find Roadie and Kelly taking on the Crazy 8’s ring at PDS trials this year.
In Barn Hunt, dogs are trained to indicate the rat tube. Roadie prefers to collect it. These days, his signature tell is unmistakable: he finds the rat tube… and casually picks it up and "retrieves" it.
This was not always his strategy. A couple of years ago, Roadie had to have ten teeth pulled. While most of us would be dramatically spiraling about smoothies and soft food, Roadie had a different realization. With fewer teeth? He could now fit the entire rat tube in his mouth. The first time he did it, there was a moment of stunned silence — and then laughter.
Roadie has taken many sports by storm but on December 8th of 2025, Roadie earned the best certificate of all - his Longevity Certificate (LC-10L) – one of the most important things a Doberman can earn for its breed. Roadie lives every second of his life at full throttle.
He plays hard, works harder, and loves hardest of all. Every day to him is wild, joyful, hilarious chaos — and we can’t wait to see Team Roadie in action this year.
Congratulations Roadie on being named PDS Dog of the Month for March 2026!
