Ann,
I'm with you. Numerous people have told me that Rally is a FUN way
for you to work with your dog. Now it's going to be just another
check to write? Phooey!

Helen, Ann, Doris,
I feel I have to weigh in on this too. Rally afforded ME, the owner,
the
opportunity to get into that ring with my dog have some fun and get that
finishing title. I didn't have to send the dog away perhaps once
again with
someone else to get a herding title or a schutzhund title or have
someone
else on the end of the lead finish the job!.
In the majority of cases, the owner is not the one who gets the "Ch."
title
and obviously not the one who gets the "Select" title, but with Rally
the
owner can be the ONE who puts that finishing title on his/her "best
buddy"
and have a blast doing it.
Believe me, it wasn't Capri who couldn't do the other things it was ME
and I
tried it all (agility, obedience, herding, schutzhund)... .and all
those who
know me know that I was and WILL forever be just DREADFULl!
However, I
was determined not to send my dog away with some stranger somewhere in
this
country to prove she could "work". What a thrill it was when Rally
came
along and I could get that Rally title with MY dog! WE were the TEAM!
Capri was happy too, finally it was she and I in that ring together!
Does anyone really think our dogs can't work! It's the owners not the
dogs! I am so sorry for any other owner, who like me do not posess
the
necessary "performance" skills, the "time" or in my case the "courage"
to
acquire those skills, never have that same thrill completing your dog's
"AOE" title.
Now, it appears if I ever want another "AOE" title, once again I MUST
leave
it to some other "expert" to get that job done. Once again my job as
the
owner will be limited to "just writing another check" to prove to the
GSD
world my dog can work!.
What a BUMMER!
