Libby & I went to the Salt City Cluster in Syracuse Thur, Fri & Saturday. This is the first time I have ever shown a dog. Libby was the veteran on the team having shown in hand once. She is now Alta-Tollhaus Sweet Liberty CGC, RN. She scored a 96 for second place on her 1st leg, a 92 for 3rd place on her second leg – Mom lost 7 points for handler errors 🙁 , and a 98 for 1st place on her final leg. I also entered 1 novice OB class on Saturday mostly to see if I could really ask her to stay and walk away. She scored a 182 to qualify and second place-she stayed like a good girl til the recall, but anticipated the finish and figured she wouldn’t waste any time waiting for the actual signal. Since our training has been spotty it was an amazing weekend & she was a very good girl.

Congratulations Lisa and Libby!!!!!! Your scores are absolutely super! I think that it is far easier to make human errors in Rally then regular obedience. It looks like you learned from your errors on the second leg with a very nice comeback to a first place finish!
Anticipating the finish would be categorized as showing enthusiasm.
Way to go Girls!!!! Woohooooo!!!
Koda is very proud of his sister!! Lisa, get a real camera already! You need to show off that beautiful girl. Make Libby carry the camera bag for you.. he he
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! What awesome news. I’m so proud of Sweet Libby (and Lisa, Libby’s Mom).
Also, Libby sleeps like I do — mouth hanging open! LOL!
Jennie, I hope you don’t do the other thing Libby does in her sleep with her other end. LOL
Lisa,
What a fantastic weekend you had. Congratulations on Libby’s new Title. You got some great scores & placements.
Super that you got your 1st leg in novice obedience on your first try also.
Libby looks great.
I was very proud of her. She settled into the fairgrounds like a trooper and really turned it on every time she came out of the crate. I think she liked the “girls weekend” with Mom. Too bad Libby does not have her own personal photographer like your guys. She has to live with Mom’s point and shoot (when I remember it).
I only have a point and shoot CannonPowershot camera.
I’m the photographer most of the time but Jack is good at taking the pics and videos when I’m working with the dogs.
Lisa and Libby ROCK!! What an awesome job with great scores. Love the pictures and captions.
Congratulations to both of you.
Very impressive for your first shows, congratulations! Keep up the good work.
Congratulations Libby and Lisa! Zeta says “way to go sis!”
