I wanted to share how incredibly proud I am of this dog. Who in my opinion is a great example of how good breeding gives tolerance and stability that truly makes a great working dog.
Tuesday and Wednesday of this week Ripley came out And worked her first outdoor scent work trial. There she went eight out of eight qualifying runs. Eight out of eight placements. And she earned five titles. Each of her AKC scent work novice element titles and therefore her overall AKC scent work novice title.
Returning home Wednesday after our trial, we immediately packed up and evacuated from Hurricane Helene. We were at a strange house for three days where all the dogs spent essentially the entire time crated other than potty breaks.
Saturday and Sunday, Ripley came out and trialed in AKC agility. Her first time running agility in over 3 months because we were attempting to breed her. She went three out of five qualifying runs, and earned a qualifying run in fast, jumpers, and standard. Earning three out of three first place. (Blame mom for at least one of those non-qualifying runs).
The tolerance and flexibility showcased by a three and a half year old dog is insanely impressive for me. This is a dog that is not only a joy to handle but a joy to live with. And I am so blessed to own her.
