Wins & Brags for the Year 2007

 

beagles

I am very proud of my beagles, Phoebe (8) left, and Sméagol (4) right. They both did a great job at the Canine Sports Complex trial in Buffalo NY, on Dec.1st, 2007, under judges Bonnie Christie and Anne Douglas. Phoebe is a very special beagle, one who will do anything I ask and do it well. Sméagol has big shoes to fill, he has taught me that every dog is different, and takes different training skills and patience to train each of them. Sméagol was first in the ring in the Novice class. He was having a great time, his tail was wagging and he was trotting around, just having fun. He qualified the first and second run, earning his novice title. I am so proud of him, at 4 years he is finally starting to grow up! Rally has never been his passion; actually I am still trying to figure out what he’ll do best, earning his novice title is a big step for this silly little beagle. Phoebe, my precision beagle had one more leg to go in the excellent class, she did it in her first run! I could not have asked for a better run, she still amazes me. I love working with her, we have a special bond that kicks in when we get into the ring. I am not 100% sure, but I think that she is the first beagle to earn the excellent title. Now we are working on Versatility. We moved up at the trial, I knew we were not ready, but we had fun, and gave it a try. Phoebe at the young age of 8 is still working hard and trialing in a number of sports, and I know she will continue to amaze me for many more years. We are thrilled to have such a great organization to compete in, and we’d like to thank all the wonderful judges, who we have been privileged to trial under. We are looking forward to many more years of great trials and friendships made during the journey.

johnny In August 2007, Johnny completed his CARO Rally Advanced title with a first place win. He also completed two legs on his Rally Excellent title. Here he is shown with proud owner Lindy Wiebe and judge Lori Albright. Johnny is now Ch.Withensea Johnny Thunder CD TD CGN RNMCL RACL RL1.

In January of 2007, we adopted a Catahoula Leopard Hound from Louisania through the OSPCA. She is a survivor of Hurricane Katrina.

We couldn't have asked for a better dog. I was first introduced to Rally-O in June of this year and started working with her. On September 9th, in Peterborough, we qualified in 2 out of 3 runs. I made the mistake, and she followed. On September 22nd, in London, we had a qualifying run first time. We tried an advanced run, but didn't quite make it. Our jump commands definitely need work!

My thanks to the organizers, judges, and competitors that made our first two events so great.

j'ai fait le rally-novice avec ma bulldog anglais la compétition de St-Basile-de-Portneuf donné le 07 juillet et j'aimerais savoir si vous envoyez un diplôme suite à l'obtention du novice? Si oui savez-vous combien de temps cela prendra avant de le recevoir? J'ai bien reçu ma carte aujourd'hui. J'attend de vos nouvelles!

Great Pyrenees in Obedience In Peterborough on September 9th 2007 CH Limberlost Niko a Great Pyrenees of 2 years earned his Rally O Novice A title. With impressive scores of 191 and two 193's and a second place; at the end of a long three trial day. Pyrs are not often seen in the obedience ring as they don't see the point in taking orders from a human. Through very creative, persistent training on walks and in the park, we pulled it off. He already has his CKC novice A title (which I find is easier for us). We will be pursing his Advanced A title shortly. Rally is really great for those independant breeds where the emphasis is on FUN FUN FUN! Training a dog NOT motivated by food or toys or praise requires A LOT of creativity.

We were so excited to compete at the Campaign Dog Academy Rally O trial in July 2007. My rare breed Shiloh Shepherd, Magnus (TYD Int'l bCanCh Regal King Magnus os Kelisa, HIC, CGC, TT, PCD, RNCL) completed 3 trials and got a 2nd place in a nice field of 'A' dogs. FOr a young intact dog who does not believe everything in life has to be perfect, Magnus showed just how happy he is trialling in Rally O - we'll be back!!. Many thanks to Linda Barton, Chair, all the stewards, and Judges Bonnis Christie & Kelly Morrow.

June 2007

Crocus Obedience and Kennel Club in Brandon, MB held its, and Manitoba's, second CARO Rally O trial June 9 and 10. Twenty-four participants competed with 31 dogs in 129 runs. Our thanks to judges Sarah-Jane Petti and Jennifer Fraser, both of Calgary, for designing challenging courses and making the weekend a lot of fun.

We were very excited to be rewarded with 21 new titles. Fourteen handlers and their dogs received first-time CARO titles, all in Novice B. Six new Advanced titles were awarded - three of those to dogs that received their Novice titles this weekend as well. One Excellent title was awarded - to Heather Lawson and Gecko of Saskatoon. As well there were lots of qualifying scores awarded - I admit I lost track. Congratulations to all handlers and dogs who worked in blazing sun, a downpour, sudden wind gusts, a steady drizzle, and everything in between - typical June prairie weather.
