This weekend at the Valley Hills Obedience Club trial, two of my furkids got their third legs for their Rally Novice titles. War Crys' Charm, CD, HT, HCT, CGC (2004 GSDCA Good Will Ambassador) and Gunther of Treasure Ranch, CD can now add RN behind their names. Having been in the conformation ring so much the last few years, it was nice to spend time with old friends and people I only get to see once in awhile now. I was pleased to see so many GSD's out there this weekend. Only a few short years ago, I was it with my GSD's at the trials. The upside is when we qualified, we always got the trophies for hIgh Scoring GSD, LOL! There were a dozen or more GSD's competing in obedience, Rally and agility this weekend. Show dogs, working lines, German lines, the works. Now I have competition so it makes me motivated to keep these dogs fine tuned, so I can keep getting those trophies :-) And next week, Maggie (Milo's Here Comes Trouble) gets to show at Long Beach with her new Junior Handler. How can you not have fun showing dogs :-) Laura Thomas http://www.treasureranchgsds.com/ ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
