Thank you! I’m super happy. The dogs got loads of points this weekend, and I had a great time!

Rory's paw pad is all healed up and she is ready for her rally class to start on May 7th! SOOO excited.

Freya is learning to tend chickens for her next adventure. Freya has a blue ribbon from competition, but is not so much a competition dog, she just enjoys life.

Here is a thread for all those who compete with their dogs! Any sort of titling counts.
I'll go first.
I am training my golden retriever, Finn (AKC Pond's Fast Fish TKN), for Rally and Scentwork (maybe some obedience down the road), and then also 'pet' titles in the Canine Good Citizen and trick dog program. He currently has his Trick Dog Novice (TKN) title and we're working on his TKI (Trick Dog Intermediate), competitive heeling, and scent work training.

Here is Finn doing 'sit pretty' which is one of our tricks for his TKI.

I also show dogs in conformation shows (Finn is nowhere near show quality, so not for him). I currently show a corgi named Birki (AKC Reinwood Pause for a Breeze) in breed competition and junior showmanship. Here is da boi:

This is him at our first show. We got second place in a class of 5 open dogs. Not too bad!

I'm super excited that I got asked to show one of my favorite breeds, the clumber spaniel. I'll be showing a clumber spaniel girl in (I believe) 12-18 month bitches. She loves showing so much and I think (with my knowledge of the clumber standard) that she's pretty good.


I'd love to hear about anyone else's competition dogs!

This isn’t my dog but I take care of him

With summer break coming up I am going full speed ahead on titling Rory. We have our Rally novice class coming up on Saturday, then if she likes it we can move on to actually competing in rally trails!

I have contacted Adelhorst Kennels to help me work with Rory in order to title her in her CGC. I need her to be FAR better conditioned to grooming as well as a way stronger "stay". As far as "stay" I have no idea where to start training her...

Poor finnegan is going to lose everything he knows this summer when I go to camp. I need to do more scentwork with him

I'm getting super nervous about the rally class tomorrow. EEK! I know exactly how It's going to go, If I don't run her beforehand she's going to be overstimulated, and not want to focus. And I will be embarrassed. I better wake up early and run that dog. It starts at 9 am and takes 45 minutes to get there! I'm definitely bringing my whole dog sports bag. And lots of liver treats. She loves those. Deep breaths.
