After the trial we took Aiden for a nice walk in the woods behind the trial site.

Bravo team Aiden, you look wonderful.
Congrats! I loved watching the videos. Aiden looks SO wonderful.
It is so exciting to see him grow and progress thru his titles.
Thanks for letting us share this with you.
Woot-woot-woot! Way to go, Team Aiden!
Very nice! I think the beginner novice stay is harder then the Novice sit stay. I love how happy he is and how light on his feet he is. Congratulations Jack and Lynda! Excellent work!
I agree Julie. Leaving a dog and standing in front of him/her is easier for the dog than leaving and walking behind them that’s for sure.
Way to go, everyone! 🙂 Congratulations!
He looks great! Very impressive and so handsome. Some of his expressions seem identical to Ruki. I love seeing the A litter grow.
Were you the only GSD?
There was one other GSD, an elderly boy. Unfortunately he got up just as the owner was finishing her walk around the ring and he came towards her. On the recall he got up when she called him but instead of going to her he headed out of the ring. He had qualified in the last trial she had entered him in.
From Aslan: Great Job Bro!
Yay Aiden! Baby dog is making it look easy! Congrats!
Yeah well Ava will make up for her brother’s over-achievements. Like on the recall….uhhh no don’t think we will do that right now…
Looking good! Those are nice scores from Celeste Meade, who is known to have a sharp pencil.
I was wondering if that was Celeste Mead…but I didn’t see any feathers in her hair so I figured it wasn’t her, plus I don’t see any cheese in Lynda’s hair ……
Yes, the judge for the Beginner Novice class was Celeste Meade-Maurer. I have trialed under her before and she was very strict.
On Sunday she was very nice and encouraging with all the beginner handlers.
I learned from you, Julie, to make sure that the cheese in my hair does not show….!! LOL.
Lynda, glad you learned from my mistake!
Congratulations, he is growing up to be even more handsome than he was as a puppy! I can’t believe how much you have done with him already! Keep it up!
I just saw the pictures you added, Aiden is looking like a big dog!
Way to go team Aiden! Was brother Dylan there encouraging him? It is amazing he is not ever a year old yet.
Congratulations to you and Aiden! Nice job making it look easy.
Now, I’d love to hear about cheese hiding in your hair. Is this some new training technique? LOL
DuKes’ Ma, Terri
You will have to ask Julie about that…..!!!
Wow super job you are doing with Aiden. He looks wonderful and what nice focus for such a youngster! Are you doing any of the March trials at Masterpeace in Franklin Ma?
Thanks.
Aiden is entered in the Great Dane ClubTrial at Silver City Canine Training Center in Taunton, MA on March 9th. I did not enter him in the LRCGB Trial the weekend before at Masterpeace. Are you going to any of the trials?
Darn I was hoping to meet you and your wonderful new boy Aiden. I’m doing Masterpeace March 3rd Excellent Rally and then Masterpeace again March 16 Nov B Obedience.
