MACH 13 Dreamweaver Mariah Dynamic Energy MXB4 MJC5 MXP MJP NF, 13.75 years, of Princeville, Illinois passed away on October 18, 2022 in Chillicothe, Illinois. 

She was born January 21, 2009 in Webster, Massachusetts out of the well-known Mariah lineage and came to Illinois as a young puppy.  Surviving are her pet parents Carol Kluka, DVM JD and Rich Walker of Princeville, Illinois, as well as 3 other dogs, 4 cats, and 5 chickens. 

Joule earned 58 American Kennel Club agility titles and won many shows, even beating the border collies on occasion.  She became America’s #1 Agility AKC German Shorthaired Pointer in 2016, 2017, and 2018, #1 German Shorthaired Pointer for the AKC Agility Invitational in 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2019 and the German Shorthaired Club of America’s Agility Dog of the year in 2017 and 2018.  When she wasn’t in the show ring, she was the Queen of the Household.  She also loved to play frisbee, keep-away (the bigger the toy, the better) and hunt for squirrels, moles, and rabbits. 

Private services and a Celebration of Life will be ongoing/forever. 

Memorials in her honor can be made to Freedom Paws Service Dogs of Chillicothe, Illinois.
