Ahh.... The green ones are qualifying ribbons for obedience, and the one above them are placement ribbons.

Looks good if I had only entered him five times. He failed to qualify for two whole years. ;~D.... if he didn't mount the dog next to him and get disqualified, he always did well ;~D

He retired one qualifyer short of CDX.... the jumps were injuring him and I quit.

That old dominance thing, huh?

Shelley is a little bit bossy (she was Boss Dog in a litter of 9) but she LOVES agility so much she's too busy to boss (she also is the only dog on the course, except in Pairs. She runs pairs with the cutest little Black Lab who could be her sister - "Torrie" and "Shelley" - the Black Tornado and the Brown Bombshell. They get along great - only problem is that when we're passing the baton THEY want to play!)

. . . and nobody need know how often they were entered before they won something (this was Shelley's third trial, but the first one was just for fun. It was when she came just one point short of qualifying in trial no. 2 that I started to get serious about this business! :-o )
