The occasion was the ACT State Obedience Titles which is a two day trial.
On Day 1 she won UD but didn't qualify, on Day 2, she came second to her friend and club-mate Kilian the mini-Schnauzer and qualified - to earn a medal and her very first UD "card".
Our next Obedience trials are Queanbeyan, Shoalhaven and Mudgee - and we are thinking of going to the Group 5 (Working Dog) trial in Sydney later next month. Go, Eepie!
Rally Progress.........
In the background we have been working on our Rally Novice title. After training for and trialling at UD level, it is very odd going back to working on lead and doing the easy exercises required at Novice level.
On Saturday 23 June, Eepie earned her Rally Novice title at BDOC under local judge, John Green. She came second with 98 points. Way to go Eepie!!
She's now, officially, Ch Ieper-Rilla vd Arkiv CDX, RN.
And we're now working through a shoulder injury - nothing serious, but we need to be careful to "heal, stretch, strengthen" before we get back to full UD work.
Get Better Soon, darling Eepie!!!
