Today was a successful day! 3 of our club members achieved some new titles - all a first for them!
Connie & Syn received their very first ever IGP1. 70-83-88. High in Obedience, High in Protection, first place IGP1. Syn has not been an easy dog to train - Connie didn’t know what the trial would look like in tracking in protection. There were days when we talked about the possibility of not trialling, about what the future in the sport looks like for Syn, but Connie NEVER GAVE UP. Connie worked her tail off everyday, and today the hard work paid off. Syn struggled in tracking, but she never quit and made it to the end. This made us all so proud. She really DID IT!!! She put on a very nice obedience routine, knocking over the jump was costly but she was driven, and happy throughout! Protection she came through and surprised us with her best guarding! Connie handled great throughout the routine and they finished strong. Congratulations Connie, your nerves can settle now, you earned it 😂❤️
Congratulations to Chris and Kai for achieving their very first BH! Kai originally started in the club with Christina however due to unforeseen circumstances, Chris had to take over the training. He was unfamiliar with the sport, and the handling, but he worked tirelessly to learn everything he could and continue the training where Christina left off. Today, the fruits of your labor were shown. You should be very proud, as we are of you. Congratulations to Chris and Christina.
Congratulations to Dallas and Crosby for their very first FH3. If you would haveve asked us 4 years ago if Crosby could get an FH3, we’d say “No way.” Infact, our conversations often talked about the struggle for her in the future for the IGP3 track. Dallas went to work and put in the time and miles and Crosby has shown up with impressive performances time and time again. Today, she completed an 1800 pace track that was aged for 3 hours. 8 legs (one a semi-circle), 2 acute turns, 2 cross tracks, 7 articles….. 90 points! We are so impressed and proud of you.
Tomorrow we continue! Thank you so much to our judge Joeri Veth.
