When you think you got it in the bag and suddenly find yourself on the outside looking in - the picture isn't pretty. That's what happened to Donar and I yesterday. We goofed! But in obedience you cannot just fault the dog, it usually is the handler who missed doing something. Donar did the first part well and for the long sits and downs he decided to be "with his mommie" and consequently muffed it all. BUT TODAY we did it! It was great! He even got 4th place, got 2 rosettes and his picture taken. Yes, now he has one title on each end. He is now CH. Steppenwind's Donar, CD. So, that makes CD #6 for me and will probably be my last. Who knows! I am so proud of him. Before we went in the ring I had a long talk with him and told him that he might have to find another home if he messed up again. Guess he took it to heart, LOL.
