During the critique the judge said “excellent” six times and “by the book” three times. I guess you could say these two did OK. 😉 Oh, and during the traffic portion the judge mentioned that this team was 2nd highest in Obedience. The first highest was a SchH1 dog.
I think this last pictures says it all!
Most *excellent* Congratulations to Barb and Syd BH !
Enjoy the feeling of success in your training…it will stay with you for awhile. 🙂 Once you are off of cloud nine…go get your SchH I 😉
DuKes’ Ma, Terri
Is that last picture the only time Syd wasn’t locked focused on Barb? Excellent and by the book, yeah, I guess they were ready. 😉
Barb,
You must be so thrilled. You and Syd look like such a great team out on the field. Sydney looks absolutely fabulous.
You must have all had a super time doing the BH together.
Carole,
Thanks for sharing all the great photos of all three dogs and handlers.
Wow, super impressive!!! Congratulations, Barb! But really, there was never any doubt.
What, no outfit for the occasion? Syd looks great and her focus is right on da Momma. Congratulations, now you can breathe again. You must have a great trainer, who is it 😉
Congratulations Barb!
Excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent!!!!!!
I am so proud of both of you!
p.s. your hair is sick!
Wow! It looks like Barb and Syd had a great routine! Awesome!
I just noticed looki at these again-Barb has her game face on and Syd has her “come on Mom lighten up I have this covered face”
Lisa, that is exactly right!!!
Huge congrats! Nice pictures!
I don’t envy you all that heeling you had to do, especially since it was hot.
Thanks for all your support! I was sooooo proud of Sydney … she makes me so happy:) I was so focussed on just not forgetting part of the routine and counting steps that I had no idea how we did until the end… apparently that was ok, that’s all I had to do…Sydney did the rest! I love that dog!!!!
Congrats! All that hard work paid off. Ember and I have so far to go, but it will be fun getting there!
Congratulations Barb! I have to agree with Lisa! I think these are the only photographs I have seen where you are not cracking up or at least smiling. The pressure must have been on, but Syd was perfect by the looks of things, so obviously nothing to worry about at all!
