It will be late October or November before I get back into the ring. I just got rid of two dogs in for Gun dog training, so I can concentrate on my dogs!

Let's see, since August I've run 3 hunt tests (3 for 3 both dogs) and did 2 weekends of obedience w/ the same 2 dogs...finished a RN, a RA, a CD and progress toward CDX and another RA.

I'll be starting "puppy boot camp" (serious obedience for field work) w/ the 6 mos old probably this weekend.

In 2 weeks I'll have one back in the agility ring, and a couple weeks after that I'll have 2 running.

And now that my hay is baled and off (as of last night, yea!), my field will be clean so I can get back to some SH handling work w/ a couple.

Darned apple work has put a damper on training so that will improve. Anne

Nothing new here. Our next trial isn't until the beginning of November.

I have acutally given up on Emilu in Open - we had 2 shows in one day 2 weekends ago , she missed her DOR becauses there was a piece of paper right where the judge wanted her to drop, she stopped and looked at it- looked at me, and I think, forgot what she was supposed to do - judge waited quite awhile and I finally gave her a second command. It was the afternoon show that did us in. I actually thought that we had Q'ed, and so did everyone watching us - we didn't Q and I asked the judge why - she said (nicely) that Emilu's heeling was atrocious, and that she wouldn't have even passed her in Novice A. Emilu heeled just like she always does - pretty horribly, but she has never not Q'd because of heeling. I know that I am very embarrassed to be with her in the ring during the heeling, but I keep a smile plastered on my face. - in fact - someone -and I don't even know who it was, mentioned in passing that they didn't know how I could keep smiling in the ring when she heels like that (I don't even think I knew the person -I think it was someone who goes to the same shows that we do) So, I decided (with much boo-hooing during the car ride home) that her showing days were over - she is 7 and her heeling really isn't going to get much better. However - she probably will show in rally again next year because I want to be able to take Baxter to shows and get used to them, so Emilu is going to have to show a little more.
