Results of Weekend Dog Show and Obedience Trials

Fancy (of France Pena) gave another dazzling performance in the conformation ring winning "best opposite" and winner's Bitch. France said 2 points' but she still is trying for the last major point for her championship. Hope I got that right, I don't know much about the conformation ring.

Bruce and Rosco, my Border Collie, were in the obedience trials Friday evening and back to back trials on Saturday. Bruce was in the Graduate Open class using his newly acquired utility skills. This class uses those skills in a modified format inorder to be a stepping stone to the highest level of obedience competition----utility. Bruce did not qualify either time, but he did very well considering it was his first time to use these skills away from his home training arena. Only minor errors at that!!

Rosco, my rescue, and challenge dog was in the Obedience Novice ring. The firs trial he squeaked out a qualifying round with a 179.5, then Saturday he was settling in to the routine and improved such that he took 2nd place both trials and improved his score each time. We titled with the CD (Companion Dog), but he will stay in the novice level competition for awhile polishing his heeling skills.

Holly went to give the boys advise and cheerlead.

Congratulations!
