Lance New TDX Today!!!
Mr. Lance and I went to Chicago and entered the Lincolnwood Training Club Inc., for GSDs (they had a combined TD and TDX test).
Mr. Lance wants to let you know that he is now a “TDX” boy. Here’s our picture for you viewing pleasure – I’m smiling still.
Judges were Pam German and Donna Kircher, and track layer Kirsten. Our maps show the “boy” booked this track and did it in 14 minutes – whew, he was a gooooood boy (no wonder my legs were tired).
Wanted to share.

Canadian Title
Attached is a pictures of the pretty ribbons Lance earned in Canada. We did 4 classes and earned our Canada Novice Rally title and then moved up to Advance and earned one leg there. All legs were earned with 1st placements – as the picture shows. He was a good boy especially since it was hot, hot, hot, and in a fairground building with no a/c. And, it’s our first Canada title…yeah!

Lance New Title
I’ve attached a picture Bill took today of Lance and I (he’s not as good as you all are with photographs). But, the picture is of us with our groups of ribbons (4 first and 4 qualifying) that we’ve earned at our last 2 rally shows. Two from the Kalamazoo Kennel Club a while back and two this weekend at the Kalamazoo Cluster at the fairgrounds. Three of them represents our latest title RA (Rally Advance) and the fourth is his first leg in Excellent. All legs earned with first placements – he’s a good boy.
You also wanted to know his latest “name” string with all his titles. So, here it is – this latest title puts us at 41 titles. Whew! Busy, but what fun.
