This weekend the infamous Posie earned her PT, making her Erynbrook's  
Double Exposure CGC (8 months), RN (10 months), HT (13 months), PT (17 months). 
 
She was the only GSD entered in this trial and many people complimented us 
on  how beautifully she moved and how calmly she handled the stock. One 
long-time  working dog lady said "I'd have a GSD if I could have one like 
that!" 
I of  course offered her one <g> but she's not quite ready for a 4th dog  
yet.
 
Before I forget, big kudos to Posie's handler Kathy Howse. On Saturday they 
 used trial sheep (instead of test sheep) for the PT runs. Only 4 out of 8  
dogs qualified and I'm not sure any of them would have except for following 
 Kathy's example. The first 2 dogs ahead of us failed to qualify. When 
Kathy  went in she kept Posie at least 30 feet off the stock, using a series of 
 
stops and walk-ups to carefully move the sheep through the course. The 
other  handlers thanked her for showing them how it could be done and those 
whose dogs  could be controlled, passed. Kathy was very proud of Posie and I 
was 
very proud  of them both. Of course yesterday's drama made today's test 
sheep look like a  walk in the park.
 
Posie is by Juie Degen's CH Caisson's Unconditional Surrender TD HSAs MX  
MXJ XF and out of Erynbrook's Cafe Au Lait HIT (who may be joining her 
daughter  in the herding arena soon.)
 
Now on to Started -- and obedience when I am no longer on  crutches!
