BC Crazy Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) LOL haven't got here yet Tassie. My brag is that Ness at the "tender" age of 12 years 10 months completed her Track 3 today and thus finished her TD title and is now officially retired. Very much the case of great dog shame about the handler as I seemed to do everything in my power to have her fail and she still passed despite me . That included standing over the first article for about 30 seconds before I recognised she had found an article and then me pulling her off the final t-shirt less then 3m from the end. She has been my first dog who has dabbled in almost every dog sport over the years and has a nice string of letters after her name. Has been thoroughly spoiled rotten tonight and had the obligatory drive through maccas mcbites on the way home from the trial. A very long day but very well worth it and so pleased with my girl. Congrats Ness, well done Hope she enjoyed her Maccas treat LOL . Beautiful pic of her. She certainly doesn't look her age. Just lovely :) Edited July 22, 2013 by BC Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canine Coach Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I am so frozen & exhausted, having been out in the freezing high winds, rain & icy cold, at day 1 of The Dogs Victoria State Obedience Trials today, that I MAY have already, posted this, elsewhere, by mistake. If so, hope you will forgive my shameless bragging My 4 year old silver Standard Poodle, "ROXY", formally know as Dual CH. (O.CH.)

Tassie Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 So very well deserved, Linda - you're such a great team. Your dogs are a credit to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 And we have a brag. Mr Rory managed to keep his boy brain concentration going for 1200 metres in gusty windy conditions (and a steep hill) to pass his Tracking Test 7 with a Good grade - lovely article indications on all three articles - lovely start - a few wobbles during the track - but he did enough. So subject to Dogs Tas approval, he will now be known as Dual Ch (T) Winpara Soul Dreamer CDX RAE DWDF.S HTM.S ET. Love my lil big man. Now he can join his 'sister' playing Track & Search. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so very much to you & Jodie for helping tie down the OZ Trail gazebo with about 100 meters of rope to keep it from blowing away in the winds. It helped so much to have you both there. Especially as I had to go into Top Dog 1st & then return straight back in for 2nd. Very stressful! Also much appreciation to Jodie, for handling Violet for me.

ness Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Only a relatively small brag but I decided to enter Kenz in the final tracking trial for the year and this morning she passed her Track 1 with a "Good" rating. Given everything she has had to overcome just to get out there and do something it was lovely to see her having a bit of fun. The degree of excitement when she finally reached her tracklayer was priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ness Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Thanks Ptolomy and kathq. Its certainly a huge achievement for miss Kenz given all she is continuing to battle with. I am eternally grateful for a tracking judge today who took account of her limitations regarding the need to be on as early as possible. The weather was unfortunately not as cold as I might have liked so I was a little stressed as to whether she would cope but also under instruction on what to do to maximize her chance of success (no fluffing around when we set her out) and we managed it. I think I was more stressed then I might have been handling Ness but Kenz was happy to be doing stuff and that is what is most important. Its about finding things that allow her to still use all that drive but in a way her body can cope. Tracking is one activity that has been ok'd by her medical team (and it truely is a team effort this one :laugh:), at least for the moment. My little girl has climbed many mountains and continues to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
