On Saturday in California at the Camilla Capital KC show under Christine Hubbell, our Strider, aka Rohan's Reward, won his 12-18 class and went on to WD, BOW and Best of Breed!!!! And, in the very tough herding group ring, he was one of 6 dogs who made the cut. We are so proud of this 17 month old guy!!!! As always, he was shown by his wonderful handler Mr. Art Sinclair. Some might accuse Art of grandstanding in the group ring....Strider, who is always full of energy, gave a good leap for joy after he had completed his individual and had gone back to the line, Art's leash snapped and Strider did a few laps around the group ring!!! Definitely on a "loose leash"! I called him and he came right to me and after running and buying a new leash, he was again ready to "show". It gave the ringside a good laugh. Today, I took him to the Temperament Test sponsored by the German Shepherd Dog Club of Sacramento Valley and under evaluator Bob Penny, Strider received his TC with flying colors! (opps, sorry about that bite on the umbrella <G>) Our thanks to the members of the club for putting on a well organized test and special thanks for sharing their yummy lunch with me. It was a very good weekend and we are so thrilled with how Strider is doing. He now has 4 points and a 5 pt. major reserve under Rita Sandel. And most important, he is a very fun dog to live with.
