Today we went to the American Bullmastiff Association Obedience Trials in Franklin, MA. The club was holding two trials in one day. The Novice B classes were scheduled for the afternoon. By our calculation, if everything went smoothly, Ivan’s first class would begin at about 4:00pm. We got there at about 3:00pm and were told by the club that they were running a LITTLE behind schedule and that Novice B should be starting at about 4:45pm.
Ivan’s first class finally started just after 6:30pm. Ivan qualified with a 4th place and a score of 190. This was his 3rd Leg , in 3 consecutive trials, for his AKC Companion Dog Title (CD).
In his second class Ivan qualified with a 2nd place and a score of 189 for a “Bumper” Leg.
Unfortunately the training center was not conducive for video taping so Jack was unable to tape Ivan and me.

Bumper Leg!
How exciting! Congrats to you and Ivan
Wooooo Wooooo! Congratulations to the B & B team on a great job with Ivan, jut shy of 14 months of age, and still in the testosterone brain-fog. You all rock!!!
Thanks Julie.
Some of that adolescent male testosterone brain-fog was in evidence today!!
Wooo-hooooo! Brain-fog with his lowest score of 190 for his third leg—not too shabby! Congratulations to both of you. Lynda, you and Ivan have done an outstanding job!
Good point Carole, a low score of 190 or a high score of 190 is excellent!
Congrats!
Yay, Ivan and Lynda! Congratulations! I am in California for work (again)….I wish I was home, we would have loved to come watch. You should get my email address from Julie, we can keep each other up to date on trial locations, etc. 🙂
I THINK that Pieka and I will be in Rally Excellent at the Spring Cluster in West Springfield. Will you be there?
Emails being sent shortly!
Once again, Congratulations to both you and Ivan – you are a dedicated, determined team! You must give Ivan a big hug from me.
