| August 13 | Internationell dog show Izzie was entered in the intermediate class. It was 44 beardies entered to the show, because of a change of judge the dogs were judged by a Candian woman and the bitches was judge by August de Wilde from Begium. Izzie got excellent and won her class with CK. In the best bitch class I thought we never would be placed since there were so many bitches that had won a lot before. I was really surprised, also happy of course!, that Izzie was one of the four left in the end. Izzie was placed as #4 best bitch and got Reserve-CC. Very close to the CC, but I hope we will get more chances in the competition of the CC. :))

| October 3 | Rally obedience Today it was time to do some rally. I had entered Millie and Penny in level novice and then I was buying some book at the dog working club they didn't have change on my bill. So I got the opportunity to enter Izzie in the too, which I did... As number two in this level it was Izzie's turn. Although she is not trained for trials and is very young, 10 months and 10 days, she did a great job. Millie was numer twelve and she did a great job as well, I did a misstake and forgot to stop in one exercise... Penny was the last dog in this level. Now I was prepared after had done this course two times and had all my focus on Penny, whom thought it was a strange foot work that we did for less than two minutes. But she loved it!! It turned out that Penny got 100 points of 100!!! Unbelievable! She won the class. Izzie become #5 with 89 points and Millie #10 with 86 points. Millie got her second leg (of three) and Izzie her first. Since Penny got 100 points she was qualfied for the next level, intermediate. Of course I couldn't resist to enter her today then I got the opportunity... We weren't prepared at all for this level but we did our best. I did (again...) some mistakes, it is obviously very hard to count to three..., but Penny was a happy and focused beardie. :)
|
| October 2 | Obedience trial Today was another trial for me and Penny. Penny did a great job, but I did some misstake in one exercise. So because of me we didn't get a first prize (CC)... Oh well, I guess it is better that I do the mistakes than Penny. Now we have some time to train to next trail... |
