It sounds like a lot of fun and we can bring our own drinks and snacks! News from Suzanne On May 31st, Dusty got her PACH. Also Cinnamon got her MACH a few months ago. Dusty received her PACK 3 NACDA NEWS June 22, 2015 Update from Debbie and Rocket Rocket has had a good year in AKC agility so far. At the NACDA trial in late February / early March, Rocket qualified in Novice JWW. At the Vizsla club trial in April, Rocket qualified in both Novice JWW and Novice FAST. He completed his Novice Preferred JWW title at the Vizsla trial. At the Galveston Kennel Club trial over Memorial Day, Rocket qualified in FAST both days that we trialed, and he completed his Novice Preferred Agility FAST title. He is going to move up to Open in both JWW and FAST at the Reliant trial coming up in July. He is still testing my patience with contacts, so he has yet to qualify in an AKC Standard run. I remember having these same issues with Rainey at this age, and she came around eventually! Pictures are from the CPE CMStreek trial in May, taken by Fast Clicks. Debbie and Rocket at CMStreek Jumping is a breeze Now to hit the contact at the bottom! 4 NACDA NEWS June 22, 2015 News from Denise I've got some brags. Maggie finished her rally novice title at the Galveston County Trial and Watson finished his novice jumpers title in ASCA . News from Kathy We have a new addition, Gilbert is a CorgiXBorder collie (the best of both breeds) I saw him on Facebook posted by Jenny Waren( Tucker the corgi's mom). I said he is cute.....and then looked again then went to the rescue sight....then went back and again. I e-maild for an application no response and then again got the app. filled it out lickity split. Got a call as I was mowing the field and the rescue we chatted they said the had 5 apps. on him but she liked mine the best and said come and get him. Then woops we need a home visit. I was in limbo and Diane the rescue person called some friends and I got the OK to go to OK to pick up Jake (Gilbert). Teagan had to approve so off to Oklahoma we go......After an hour in a dog park in the wet and mud we load up and head for home with a new addition. I-45 closed at Dallas so a detour through Frankston. I had not had the you need to be part of my pack sense I first say a photo of Henery as a puppy in Idaho. I had no plans to get a new pup until I stumbled upon Gilbert. He is the best of both breeds a happy guy intense and willing to please. Meet the new addition "Gilbert" Gilbert learning to jump I took him out to the field to get some photos in the rain and he learned to jump....the following day he did figure eights around a jump and lured through 6 weaves..Saturday he did a pin wheel in both directions. He was sleeping in a crate.....but we tried the bed Saturday night he settled down with his head on my ankles and sighed. He got up early to use the dog door and then lined up the toys in the living room in a nice straight line..hmmm. 5 NACDA NEWS June 22, 2015 Saturday he met my vet Richard Henderson who gave him a clean bill of heath and snapped a photo to harass Dan Osborn with. Gilbert and Ping are great buddies he uses her as a pillow and Ping does not object. Lyla likes him too and is showing him how to chase things out of the yard trying to teach him how to climb trees. Clara is playing with him too and Teagan gives him the bounce and bark. Gilbert meet a bunch of new friends at Saturday Agility class. He will be going to an AKC trial in LA next weekend. He will be getting his CPE number and Debut in November or December with luck. We will also apply for his PAL number for the December AKC yikes more weave training. I have a feeling Gilbert will be a great team mate and that this will be a fun ride. Gilbert has fit right in to the pack... I guess it is true sometimes your dog finds you. We have had the best first week ever. Gilbert and Ping are great buddies Clara is 4 years old Happy Birthday Clara June 21 she is now 4 years old and is coming up on her gotcha day in July...hoping to finish her NP FAST title by Gotcha day. Lyla is working towards MACH hoping that the knee will be fixed in August so she has a better team mate. Teagan and Ping are taking the summer off Ping is still working on being a good team mate.
