New CD Title!


Hello to everyone that visits this blog!
Thanks for stopping by and checking in with our updates and activities!
Hazel and I had a fun and successful weekend
. We competed in an obedience trial at the Albany Obedience Club in upstate NY, hoping to qualify and earn the two passes we needed for the AKC Companion Dog (CD) title.
Saturday was a good day for Hazel. She performed well and surprised even me with a score of 193 out of 200 for a 3rd place finish placement! Whoo hoo!
Sunday was a bit more of what I expected, with some major ADD moments and yet she managed to hold it together enough to get a score of 183.5 earning the third leg for the title!
I'm quite proud of my girl earning her title in three consecutive shows!

Next weekend it's off to Gettysburg, PA for a mini vacation and then the following weekend to Newburgh, NY for a weekend of hunt tests where we'll be working on earning a junior hunter title.

Stay tuned for updates on our progress!

New CGC and TDI


Last Saturday Hazel took her Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog tests at "All Dawgs Training" in Richmondville, NY. She passed both tests with flying colors and made some new friends along the way.
Once we get the paper work filled out and sent into TDI, we'll be a registered working team and will be able to begin visiting nursing homes, hospitals and other similar facilities with the hopes of brightening someone's day!

I'm ready to do some therapy dog work
and bring a smile to someone's face!
