The Ipswich Obedience Club held a sweepstake last night, and mum and I had Ilse and Ruebens entered. Ilse was entered in the CCD class, and Ruebens and mum competed in the Open Class. And although both our dogs didn’t pass we were both pleased with what they did.

Mum told me that Ruebens did some little variations, but was getting through until the drop on recall. As he came when called then dropped on command: then when mum called him again he wasn’t looking. He and mum then went in for the out of sight stays and he stood up during the sit stay and the judge told mum that he didn’t even look like moving in the down.

Ilse got 22 out of 30 for the heeling, and this was the top score for this exercise for a while. But she move too much for the stand for exam so we didn’t pass this exercise, and she did another extremely good recall.

And even though she could have got a possible 78NQ I decided to withdraw her. As mum suggested it and so we didn’t go in for the stays.
