Raffi is on a roll. Her results from yesterday.

Pre-begginer 2nd place - only losing out to a lovely collie
KCGC stakes 7th place (because I dropped the lead and lost us 2 which doesn't sound much but the judge was marking in quarters)
KC Obedience Award of Merit in pre-begginers

Congratulations to Raffi who came 5th place in pre-beginners at her first ever obedience show. She also got a KC certificate of merit for losing less than 10 points. Super proud of this girl 🥰.

Raffi - Graysenber Baby Be Mine ATD SSH TS AA3 2K9 CCF3 NSD TC1

Congratulations to my beautiful Raffi who has now obtained her Novice Stunt Dog. A stunt dog title isn't about jumping out of buildings or through fire - it's about the ability to complete a flashy ring performance showcasing tricks.

Now that she has awards in tricks, fitness and stunt Raffi has been awarded the Triple Crown. She is only one of 3 bernese in the world with a DMWYD Triple crown.

Super proud of her. A fit for function versatile dog.

Thank you to Cass Ann Photography for taking some lovely pictures of my tatty teddies. I'll share some more when I've decided which ones I want 🥰 Wrangling two bernese into staying for a studio shoot was fun 🤣

Raffi and me attended another competitive obedience workshop with the amazing Corinne Wrend. We worked on reducing licking on her nose touch and her retrieve. Hugging Corinne was Raffi's idea! Thank you to Preston Trick Dogs for having us over.

Raffi. She's just perfect.

10/01/2022

Super proud of Raffi who has been busy earning four more awards. She's been in season so walks have not been easy. I also have had limited room to do any obedience training. Instead we focused on relationship, motivation, body awareness and tricks!

Congratulations Raffi who is now
Graysenber Baby be Mine ATD SSH CCF1 2K9 T3 AA3.

Clever girl.

Congratulations to our amazing Raffi who has gained her DMWYD Level 2 Certified Animal Actor award 🥰

24/12/2021

Proud to share my new website for me and my bernese. From 2017 to 2021 my bernese have continued to excel.
Hoping for a litter from Raffi maybe end of competition season 2023, maybe a bit later, she is first and foremost my partner in crime/sport/life so we will see how timings fit.

I got a message this week asking if I'd like to go on a training day with Corinne Wrend. Would I??? I've wanted to have a go at training with Corinne since I learned about obedience and who she was! What a fab day. Got some great trips to improve motivation and accuracy getting Raffi closer to the leg. Many thanks Corinne and of course our Pal Dawn of Preston Trick dogs for hosting 🥰

Good evening from Raffi
