We had two AKC trials this weekend, Rally on Sat and Obedience on Sun. On Sat, Kodi won his Rally Excellent with a score of 95 and was third in his Advanced class with a 97. The double Q gave us our second RAE leg!
Then today, we had our third try in the AKC Obedience ring in Beginner Novice. He won the class with a score of 190 1/2 for his third leg, and his title!
Here's the tired boy showing off his stash. He told me to tell you that the toys are the best part!:biggrin1:
That's fantastic I would stick to that sport. Conformation is just a walk around a ring with a bunch of grooming. Takes so much more discipline and training to do what your doing. You guys are great!
So funny how he knows they are "special" toys, as I think you mentioned in another post. He looks so proud of himself, as he should be. Good work, Kodi and Karen!

That's great news guys. I think you're going to have to add a trophy room to your house for Kodi or move to a bigger house, Karen. He's filling your place up. Congratulations again. You're both very devoted to each other and it's paying off big time. What a team!
Ha! His ribbons will end up with my horse ribbons... in trash bags (not to throw out, but to keep) in the basement! I just love working with animals. The ribbons are fun, but I'd do it if they didn't hand out anything. (Kodi says he'd rather work for toys and goodies, thank-you-very-much!:biggrin1
Karen, I am so happy for you both!!! It is so great that you are showing your path as you achive different levels of success. I see people get so upset with their dogs but they have not given them a good foundation, every dog is different but Kodi is your first dog and you have not missed a step. Congrats! Of course he likes the toys best, it's a parternership after all, he gets the toys, you get the ribbons.
Thanks, Robbie. The funny thing is, he is really fantastic IN SPITE of me, in some ways. I know there are things I'd do differently with my next dog, but I couldn't possibly have a more patient teacher than this little guy!
Terrific Kodi, and Karen! Your hard work pays off!
