The 3 youngest Cyclones and I spent 5 days competing in Obedience in Canfield, OH.
Gidget (Sting x Rhea 2020), Randy (Robby x Rhea 2024) and Jolly (Spencer x Gidget 2025) all did super good.
Gidget was entered in Grad Open on Wednesday and finished that title with a First Place. Utility was not so kind the other 4 days. She did well with all the excercises except for the Directed Jumping. She felt that she had to attempt to take the jump on the way to the GO Out spot. We have work to do with that issue.
Randy earned his 2nd leg on Wednesday in Grad Novice with a First Place. He also earned his first Open leg and qualified in Open B with a 3rd Place, which was pretty impressive for a 2 year old little boy.
Jolly was the Star! At only 1 year old, he started and finished his Beginner Novice title WITH placements, getting better scores each day!
Jolly moved up to compete in Novice B the last 2 days. He earned 2 legs toward that title with Second and First Placements! I'm so proud of my baby boy!
He hasn't quite mastered being off the umbilical cord (leash). He couldn't contain his excitement at times. He's a baby dog, but he has a good foundation, so with a little more work, he'll be better. 😁
I have videos to upload later.
