Annie
and Truffle both finished their World Cynosport (WCR)
Rally ARCH titles on 3/28/15,
Annie with a First and Second (both 210's) and
Truffle with a First and Third (210 and 206).
In
November 2014, Annie and I participated in the ISAA
National
Specialty in West Springfield, MA. Annie didn't
win in the conformation
ring, but she showed very nicely, and we had a good
time.

Lehigh Valley Kennel Club, Pat Fallon, Judge, with
2nd place in the A class.

ProductsforPets CDSP Obedience Trial:
Truffle
got 195 in Open C, First Place, and her 4th Q
towards her Open Championship.
Annie
got 3rd place in both her Novice C classes,
with 198 and 193, for her 4th and 5th Q's
towards her Novice Championship.
In
Truffle's second Open class, I threw the dumbbell
poorly, it bounced way off to the left, and Truff
did not go out over the jump, she went directly to
the dumbbell which was directly in her line of
vision. She did come back over the jump, go
figure. But her work was really good in the other
exercises, and she was happy and engaged, which is
great for her second trial, after being there
almost 8 hours. Very good day with my smart girls,
and lots of good friends and other smart dogs!
Thanks to judges Sara Jacobs and Linda Ferrullo,
both very nice to show under.
Truffle
turned the tables on her daughter Annie, and beat
her in both classes on 7/26/14 at Blue
Ribbon Dog Sports Coaching LLC WCR Rally
Trial in Andover, NJ. They are both working on
their ARCH titles, and both got another double Q. And they got some
placements in large classes, so I was very proud
of them. Truffle got 209 (Fifth Place) in 1B and
207 (Fourth Place) in 2B. Annie got 208 in 1B
and 207 (Fifth Place) in 2B. Perfect score in
World Cynosport Rally is 210 because WCR has an
optional 10-point bonus at the end of each
course. Thanks to Linda
Sperco Blue Ribbon Dog Sports for putting
on the show, Linda and Sara Jacobs for judging.
Annie completed her AKC Rally Novice title at West
Springfield, MA on 7/5/2014. Since it was 4th of
July weekend, they had these nice
red-white-and-blue new title rosettes.
Truffle and Annie and I had fun at Let's Speak Dog's
World Cynosport Rally Trial 6/14/14. They are starting
to work towards their ARCH. In Level 1B Annie got 208
and Fifth, and Truffle got 207. In Level 2B, Annie and
Truffle both got 210, and Annie got First by time, and
Truffle got Second by time.
In Trial 1, Truffle was first in Open C (198),
and Annie won a runoff for 3rd in Novice C. In Trial 2,
Truffle told me again that she doesn't do two trials,
but at least she Q'd in Open C with 185.
In Trial 2, Annie lost a runoff for first in Novice C
with 198.5, and then won the next runoff with the same
dog, for High in Trial, first HIT I ever experienced.
Thanks to Barb Burri for her judging.
Rebbi completed his Rally
Puppy Level title on 4/12/14

Judge S. Jacobs
This was Rebbi's first trial. Mert brought him
down and took him home so he wouldn't have to stay
all day.
His first run I NQ'd him because I misunderstood the
rules about food. It said you could use food
at any time
for the Puppy class, and I didn't realize it had to
be in your pocket and not your hand. But his
2nd run
was even better and he got First. A video of
his run is on his
page.
Truffle also finished her Rally Level 3 title (with
all first places) but I forgot she already had a
leg,
so I didn't get her ribbon. I'll get it
later. So all mistakes were made by the human
part of the team.

I wish it were
clearer, but I guess my phone video isn't that
great. At the end she veered off
crooked on the backup. It was my fault, I took her
too close to the wall, and she felt the
pressure of the wall behind her.

She lost three
points because I gave a second cue to go over the jump,
she looked like she wasn't going over.
