W. Springfield, MA shows


April 18th and 19th we were in West Springfield, MA
. to compete in two "breed confirmation" dog shows.
We had a successful weekend and won both days earning 3 more points towards our championship title! Woohoo!

This is nice Mom, but I want to go swimming!



After the drive back home, it was still early enough that we were able to go down to the river for some REAL fun!

I love the splash!



Yikes - water up my nose!



I just can't get there fast enough!



I got it Mom!
Can we do it again?

Rally Novice Title!


On Friday, March 27th we attended a show in Syracuse, NY at the NYS fairgrounds.

Hazel was entered in the "bred by exhibitor" confirmation class and although Dad wasn't there to take any pictures (he was in the obedience building making sure we wouldn't be missing our turn over there), she won her class and went on to win WB (winners bitch) and BOW (best of winners). Earning another point towards her championship title.

Then we high-tailed it over to the opposite side of the fairgrounds, to compete in the Rally Obedience Novice B class.
Hazel still needs to work on paying better attention to me (although she doesn't seem to think so) yet, even with her moments of distraction, she completed the course and scored a 92 out of 100. Earning her third (and final) "leg" for her RN (rally novice) title!


I see you taking my picture Dad!


Last sign on the course.... guess I'll pay attention now!


What a pretty "New Title" Ribbon
Now that I have a RN title, does that mean I can fix sick people?



After leaving the show on Friday, we went to spend the rest of the weekend at my Mom's home in Pulaski, NY.
It wasn't long after arriving that Hazel and I promptly got into a much more comfortable environment for both of us! We both love being outdoors getting dirty!

I love water and MUD!


WooooHoooooooooo - I'm flying!
My feet aren't touching the ground!


Found it!


Got bird, now back to Mom!


I'm coming Mom!
This is SO much more fun than a dog show!


Hazel will now have a couple of weekends of fun (outdoor training) and then it's back to another dog show in Springfield, MA on April 18th and 19th.
