Now they’re working on their UD (Utility) training.
Laura and Kodi picking up their CDX medal, next up will be when he earns his
Utility title.
Now it’s my turn to brag. Picture of Amy Smith and Sunny who showed all three days at the Puyallup Shows at which they earned their CD.
Picture is Jeremy Jackson with Maxine (1 year old) who finished her CD the same week end. Altogether the “lab pack” finished CDs on 3 dogs this weekend and only need one more leg (qualifying score) on 2 others.
The next few pictures are of Aubrey Olsen (a junior handler) who qualified all three days at the Puyallup shows ,with her dog Leah winning all those ribbons in Beginner Novice.
When Aubrey and Leah went through one of my classes last year, she was the youngest handler; she and Leah won graduation being the youngest handler and the
youngest dog combination, beating out all the “old” folks.
We need more youngsters out there showing, the rest of us are all getting old, to keep the shows going.
By the way, Alicia (Aubrey’s mom), your camera takes really nice, clear pictures.
