Another ribbon haul for Milo

Hamburg, NY - 11th day of 2009 - Milo the Magnificent Earns his 11th Title

After logging 650 miles and 14½ hours in the car over 3 days between Toronto Ontario and Hamburg, New York, Corrine Sellars and Milo returned home with their AKC Companion Dog (CD) title PLUS two legs towards their AKC Rally Advanced title!!! Corrine emailed to say they also got 3rd place in Novice obedience with a 189-1/2. They had a run-off for 2nd but the judge said R turn but she did an about turn and when he repeated R turn, she went left. She jokingly wrote, "Great Dog - Shame about the Handler". Now Milo is known as Varazs Mokany Ficko FDJ, RN (AKC), RN (CARO), SSGDC, SADC, AG.N.J., CL1-R, AG.N., RACL, CD (AKC), CGN

This was a great accomplishment for this team. In the past year or more, Corrine had some real struggles with Milo 'zoning out' or freezing in agility and also being stressed at rally trials. On Friday, he was a HIT outside of the ring, impressing everyone with his repertoire of tricks. (Playing tricks with your dog is a great way to relax and de-stress.) Milo recovered quickly when something concerned him and he entered and exited both runs with enthusiasm (stays and stand were perfect, good figure eight, improved set-ups. Congratulations Corrine and Milo on a great performance!
