Today was a good day for 3 of our dogs in rally obedience! On the west coast of Canada, Shandy owned by Chrissie and Jens Diron of British Columbia, earned the last leg of her rally advanced title in the CARO organization. CARO stands for Cdn Association of Rally Obedience and was at the forefront at introducing rally-o to Canadians before the Cdn Kennel Club finally approved rally-o as a sanctioned sport. Shandy is now officially known as CH Varazs Artemis Vizsandy AGI CD CGN RA (CARO). Congratulations to Shandy and Chrissie!
And on the other side of the continent in Romulus, NY at the Finger Lakes circuit of dog shows, Shandy's sister Miska and their mother, Nova, each earned a qualifying score (leg) towards their American RAE (Rally Advanced/Excellent) titles. An RAE title requires 10 qualifying scores and Nova is now up to 8 legs with today's pass. This was Miska's first RAE leg so she has 9 more to go. Their scores weren't great - it's an outdoor show and that always has challenges. And I really need to do some serious obedience training with these two dogs as they have been out of the obedience mode for quite a while, concentrating instead on field/hunting recently. It's a challenge to make obedience as interesting as hunting. Albeit rally-o is a heck of a lot more fun than regular obedience.
Anyway, today was a good day in rally for our dogs.
