RubyStar Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 (edited) Millie says "move over Ruby, it's time for ME to have a brag!!!" I kept it a bit because I didn't want to feel the DOL pressure but today was my Milliemoo's first CCD trial I am pleased to report that she passed AND placed 1st in the ring!! :cheer: She missed a position due to poor handling, and when she got distracted on the recall she flew off and then forgot what she was doing and went straight to heel (Ruby has done this before when something distracts her right before I call her, so I think I know what to work harder on proofing! ) But with those 2 small blunders, we scored 90/100. I am SO SO pleased with her heelwork, she never took her eyes off me once (except to sneeze, I think she's been watching Ptolomy's kids too much because she tends to sneeze without fail when we heel!!) We got to the stays and one by one, the other dogs got up from the down stay. Millie stayed like a good girl So in the end it was a case of "last dog dropping" The most pleasing part of the day were the lovely comments she received from the judge, it made me feel so proud of my little rescue girl!!! :party: Our next trial isn't for a while now, end of July Here is the video from today: Edited June 12, 2010 by RubyStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptolomy Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Yee har Millie - you handled her really well Rubystar - and I still can't believe that you weren't nervous. It was a beautiful round you should be mighty proud and to get such lovely comments from a judge who doesn't give them away lightly is the icing on the cake Well done mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I got a nervous panic come over me when I saw the guy in the ring before me just about finish, but by the time I got to the start post it had gone again I was more excited than nervous to get in the ring with Millie Probably because I have never expected as much from her as I do from Ruby, so I guess it goes to show what happens when you have low expectations and no nerves!
