Sadly Molly crossed the bridge in July of 2023 but not before she helped her niece Evah get a head start on her career.  Evah was already earning AKC scent detection titles at 6 months old.  We are excited to hear how her career progresses over the years. 

We are so proud to have been Molly's breeder. Molly is a daughter out of our 2014 breeding of Rainie to CH Deep Run Casablanca CD RE MH SHU. She left us to live with the Monteleone-Nyman family on Long Island N.Y.  Doreen, her owner, is an experienced handler in several dog sport venues and has taken Molly to accomplishments we could not have imagined when she left us. Together, Doreen and Molly have earned titles in Obedience, Rally and Scent Detection and has provided pet therapy at a local hospital and library.

Molly earned her Beginner Novice (BN) and Companion Dog (CD) obedience titles with the American Kennel Club (AKC) and has one leg on her Companion Dog Excellent (CDX) title. AKC has also awarded her the Trick Dog Advanced (TDA), Canine Good Citizen (CGC), Temperament Test (ATT) and Farm Dog Certified (FDC) titles.

Molly is highly skilled in scent detection. Her highest honor (to date) is recognition by the National Association of Canine Scent Works (NACSW) as the 56th Labrador retriever to attain Elite Champion status and is only the second dog on Long Island to earn the title. She has done this with numerous high placements and “pronounced” designations. She was the first Labrador to earn Nose Work Skills Achievement Master (NSAM) designation. Watch how Molly works with enthusiasm and confidence in her first NACSW Elite Trial where she placed second in this search https://youtu.be/nS-c2ox4hG8. In addition, she is the 12th Labrador retriever to earn Scent Dog Advanced (SDA) designation with Performance Scent Dogs (PSD). With AKC, Molly has completed Scent Work Advanced (SWA), Scent Work Handler Discrimination Novice (SHDN), Scent Work Container Master (SCM), Scent Work Exterior Excellent (SEE) and Scent Work Buried Excellent (SBE) titles with many placements! Molly also earned her Novice Container (NC) and Novice Interior (NI) with United Kennel Club (UKC) with two High in Trials. She really enjoys the scent detection sport!

Molly is a certified Therapy Dog with Therapy Dogs International (TDI) and is recognized as an AKC Therapy Dog Advanced (THDA). She visits staff and patients at Stony Brook University Hospital and participates in a children's reading program at a local library. During the Corona Pandemic, Doreen sent 60 photos of Molly in various poses with encouraging words to the hospital staff and COVID tips. During the height of the pandemic, they did more than 50 virtual pet therapy visits. In September 2020, Stony Brook Medicine named the team of Doreen & Molly as “Volunteer of the Year.”

Molly made her screen debut in a Primatene Mist TV commercial running past a mom with a child and up a staircase. https://www.ispot.tv/ad/OwTd/primatene-mist-breathe-easy

Doreen says of Molly, “She’s a special pup. Not only does she bring us joy every day, but she has literally touched the hearts of thousands of people.”
