Happy 11th Birthday Zoe!🎉🎂
Nothing better than a game of fetch with our buddy Paul! 🥎
Most exciting agility competition I have watched in my entire career.  amazing athletic ability from both the human and the canine competitors . The UKI open championships are being held this weekend at the Jacksonville Equestrian in Center. Tomorrow are finals which should be super exhilarating for spectators to watch. It’s free.
First time at Dock Diving!!! She loooooooved it and I had to drag her away when we were done!!!!!
Time to get the show on the road! Saga earned the highest class (Master) Rally Obedience title last month (Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Excellent and Master). Her high Rally scores got us invited to the AKC National Championship in Wilmington where she received high 195 and 198 (out of 200) scores! She earned her CD Obedience Title (Companion Dog), her Canine Good Citizen and Urban Canine Good Citizen title, her Novice Nosework Title and Advanced Trick Dog Title (Will go for her Performer and possibly Elite Performer (highest title) before her 2nd birthday at the end of January) She has been medically cleared to participate in all dog sports after her heart surgery and recovery.
2023 will be the beginning of our Frisbee, Agility, Flyball, Dock Diving and maybe FASTCAT career. This is where the real fun begins!!!!!!
I've always wanted to teach a dog the foot stall......(it may become part of our future frisbee freestyle routine) Here it is the first time trying by ourselves. Tried it twice with help and had built a post with two shoes screwed on to practice..... I needed to learn just as much as she did
....think we both figured out what to do though.... 😃
Butterfly throw followed by a flip which we’ve been working on.
Beginning Frisbee Skills...back Vault and Somersault....
We just returned from the AKC Rally Obedience Nationals this weekend in Ohio......
Summary:
1. I am forever grateful to have had my supportive husband by my side. Thank you Scott, my knight in shining armor!
2. Super proud of Saga's performance. Perfect score is 100. We scored a 192 and a 197. Having qualified at under the age of one for the Nationals was in itself a huge accomplishment.
3. We have a list of things to improve upon.
4. We had FUN!
5. I love our little R.V. It is perfect.
6. Cracker Docking is neat.....Look it up (It's a real thing)
