Hey!
Congrats, Shana and Diamond!! Way to go!!
Don’t belittle the BH and such-most service dogs couldn’t do it. They
*should*, but most couldn’t.

Hi all,
I hope everyone on the list is doing well and staying warm as winter gets
closer. To those of you in the southern hemisphere, I think I'm jealous of
the probably much warmer weather you're enjoying.
Anyway, over the past few months, Diamond and I have finally gotten into the
ring. The only reason we haven't done so before now is that I kept finding
reasons to put it off.guess I had more competition nerves than I realized. So
Diamond earned her BH at our local IPO club trial in October! We will try for
her APR 1 in the Spring. I'd go for the full IPO 1, but I've had bad luck
finding good spotters to help me with the tracking phase, so we need much
more work on that aspect.
In September, Diamond also got her CGCA and her BN, which is pre-novice
obedience, prior to the CD. Both of these things are easy titles really for a
service dog, but we are ready to go for the CD after the holidays!
Speaking of which, I hope all who celebrate have a wonderful Thanksgiving and
a wonderful holiday season!
Best,
Shanna with Diamond vom Heulenluft CGCA BN BH
