Back in December, Heather and Jenny made a goal list. We are very excited to announce that we were able to cross off some of those goals this weekend!
Karma is a new **Rally Novice** and Gunner is a new **Rally Excellent!** Woo-hoo!
This was Karma’s first venture into Rally, and she was amazing. She had just barely learned a few of the obstacles just a week before, so getting scores like 97 are pretty phenomenal. She was **SUCH** a good girl, several exhibitors even commented that she is such a happy dog, you can’t help but smile watching her work. Karma also capitalized on any opportunity presented to flirt for treats ringside — her favorite activity.
Gunner and Heather are an equally good team. He LIVES to please his Mama — serious Mommy-itis in that boy! He actually talks to her the whole time too, it’s so funny to watch. Finishing his RE title this weekend means that Heather and Gunner went 9 for 9 from Novice, to Advanced, to Excellent!! Such a cool accomplishment 🙂
Indy also had a good weekend. While he didn’t finish his title like Karma and Gunner, he did walk away with a placement — the only one our trio earned all weekend! When he is good, he is very, very good…and we’ll leave it there 🙂 Indy’s 94 on Sunday was good for 3rd place which meant he got a yellow rosette and a bag of treats; he thought that was awesome!
And as it stands, here is our updated 2012 goal list:
-Rally Excellent on Gunner — DONE!
–Rally Novice on Karma — DONE!
-Rally Excellent on Indy
-Companion Dog on Gunner & Indy
-Senior Hunter on Gunner & Karma
-Versatile Certificate on Gunner & Indy
-Championship on Karma
-Grand Championship on Gunner & Indy
-And start competing in Agility
We think it is a pretty good start to the year 🙂
