Obedience practice went very well with all dogs reaching their intended goals for the day. Barrel-racing will be a great hit at Pet Expo for sure. We had dogs so excited to race that they were barking and whining to be next. And scent hurdle was amazing. We set the jumps to 12 inches and the dogs really had to adjust their strides but they ran clean every run except 2 out of the dozen we did and Mesa Sue actually ran for the heck of it and never made a mistake. What a girl!
We played loud, obnoxious music and got everyone to make mega-noise while the dogs were racing and they really didn't care. It was very encouraging. We are sending out a generic jacket model & having five made, but if you have an original light green coat for your dog, please use that one. I will collect ALL coats and keep them in the Due South bag so they are there when we need them and can be
used with any dog. The numbers slide in and out of the pockets, so it's easy to use any coat.
Practice on the 22nd will be for all dogs. Bring jackets and bells. We will have a few extra bells for those that need them. Please measure the bar width so we can match. We presently have eight dogs on our Due South Team with two height-setters.
The afternoon of January 22nd will be reserved for those people who would like to incorporate a short freestyle routine incorporating five rally moves. Donna McLaughlin will be on hand to help us with this program. Should be fun for all: something for everyone.
Wow!!! The power is back on. I can actually post this. Yayyyy!
