(was that the exciting news? -- I never heard!)
I will brag for a moment on Ruby the Egregious -- she went to a professional trainer to be force-fetched (a ticklish business best left to the pros so you don't hurt your dog), she was supposed to stay for 2-3 weeks but went into season and came home after only a week. The trainer was very impressed with her, and I heard through roundabout channels that he wanted her back very badly because she was such a quick learner and so keen -- and I was amazed when she came home because she was already doing some intermediate drills after just one week. I worked her on some bumpers last Saturday and she really was amazing - keen and fast as she could be. Look at her big water entry:
She's going back tomorrow because if she's a contender I want her to have every chance to excel. (And Shelley will rejoice at being Only Dog again!)
Yes, it is my surprise. Just kept it under wraps until the right time. We are very pleased.
I am so glad to hear about Ruby. She is a WINNER. I love that pic. Yes, I agree it is a ticklish business and going to a professional is the best answer. And of course the old seasons always come into play at the most importune times. I am so glad my girls have finally decided to come in together. That saves me from having to deal with it four times a year. LOL
I am not surpirsed the trainer likes her, from what you have told me. She looks like she is going to have a very successful career. Please if you can keep me informed. I really want to follow her. Her entrance into the water in that pic is great.
Of course, Shelley is going to love it. She won’t have to share Mom. LOL
