Charlene’s gang of three each completed the requirements for new AKC Rally Obedience titles!

O’ Stara - German Shepherd, new Rally Novice obedience title in three straight shows. Charlene also finished Rally Obedience titles on Jolene - Portuguese Podengo, and Isis- Bassett Hound.

WAY TO GO Charlene!!!!

Charlene took three of her pack to the Sportsmans AKC Rally obedience Trial,  Friday Feb 22 and came home with three qualifying legs.

Isis, Bassett Hound  - Rally Advance
O’Stara, German Shepherd Dog  - Rally Novice
Jolene, Portuguese Podengo - Rally Novice

Maika earned her Schutzhund One title this past weekend in Germany! YEAH! The only details I have so far is she did very well. Maika is a Funny (Faye von Kirschental) daughter sired by Vice Sieger Quenn.

Below is Andrea, the talented young handler who has trained and titled Maika for me. Next up for Andrea and Maika is the Körung and schH 2!

I had the pleasure of watching Laura show her young male, Lance (Vando x Chopper),  this past Saturday at the UKC show in Kalamazoo.  Lance won the Champion class the first show and was Reserve Champion the second show.  It was thrilling for me was to see how well Laura and Lance performed together in an area that is completely out of Laura’s comfort zone. Many kudos to you Laura!  Lance is a beautiful moving dog. 

Now I just have to work on to get past feeling “out of control” when Lance moves out on the leash! Then they will be an almost flawless team!

Uno is co-owned by our friend Eddie Dziuk of Columbia MO. Congratulations Eddie!  Uno is not only the judge’s pick but also the  popular choice of those that watched the show.

O’Stara made her ring debut today in the AKC Rally Novice ring at the Toledo Kennel Club.  Handled, trained, and owned by Charlene Wiglesworth.  Stara performed beautifully on some of the exercises and startled once when she noticed a door in the wall that made up one side of the ring.  That door clearly was not suppose to be in the ring!

Stara  Nov ‘07 at 1 year of age.

Charlene, somewhere in there:

Julie, we trialed last weekend, her 4th run was a spare, fun run, in novice
standard.  I handler errored and blew past the dogwalk so fast, she just beat
feet to catch up with me.  She is a blast to run, responsive and quick, awesome
in the weave poles.  She’s had an issue with the teeter, couldn’t even tell this
past weekend.  I’ve taught her to paw one set low and praised her for making it
bang with good treats- so now its a game, too.  We show next mid March near Des
Moines.  Margie
