Today Ivan was entered in his first obedience trial in Novice B held by The Mayflower Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club in Taunton, MA. There were 8 dogs  entered in Ivan’s group. 3 qualified. Ivan was 1st with a score of 192. We are overjoyed – what a good boy!

In lieu of placement trophies, the club is making a donation in Ivan’s name to the AKC Canine Health Foundation.

Lynda, Ivan and judge Jeanne Charest

If you are interested here is a link to the video excluding the sits and downs. If you do watch you will notice in the off leash heeling Ivan slows down and looks towards the other ring. The judge in the other ring had just given the fast command and the handler started to stomp her feet while running and this distracted Ivan…lost a couple of points on that!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I watched the video and then read your comments. When I saw him become distracted, my thought was, he is only 13 months old and that is going to happen. Not only only 13 months old but a 13 month old, in-tact male. You are very good handler, I like the prep work you do before you start each exercise. I liked Ivan’s sits, he is a big boy yet by the time the butt hit the ground he was lined up perfectly, no rock-back sits, good training Lynda. Your stand for exam is also very nice, the heeling is very nice. I didn’t even notice he was on lead until the figure 8 where he went wide on the outside turn. Excellent work!

Thanks Julie.
I just want to let you know that over the two days of this obedience trial we had several people approach us and comment on how good looking a GSD Ivan is and so unlike the American bred dogs. They were also universal in their comments regarding his calm temperament and were astonished to learn he was just 13 months old.

Hi, Lynda–great job, you two, as always! Isa feels proud, she says, of her big (and we do mean BIG!) brother. 🙂 She weighs about 69#. How much does he weigh?

Hi Jil,
We are taking Ivan to the veterinarian on Tuesday evening and will let you know how much he weighs. He is a big boy!

Hi Jil,
Ivan got a clean bill of health this evening at the vets. He weighs 85 lbs. The vet loved his personality and beautiful coat! He had not seen Ivan since Ivan got his last set of puppy vaccines.

@Jil Thanks, Lynda! Nice to hear about his successful vet visit. He is just beautiful. Isa loves everyone who works at her vet’s office. They look forward to seeing her, and the vet says, “I wish all GSDs were like this!”

Congrats on such a nice run. It’s amazing isn’t it when you watch a video back and realize all our dogs have to block out while doing this! He is one big boy!
