January turned out to be a great month for me and my Ravishing Nila :) We competed in the yearly tournament held by my dog club, Follo Brukshundklubb [Follo Working Dogs Club] on the 23rd and 24th of the month. On Saturday we competed in agility, both standard and jumping. In standard we took 3rd with 5 faults (that is one mistake, each mistake gives you 5 points). In jumpers (level 2) we took 1st!!!!! and beat 25 others. Super happy about that!!! Nila was just awesome! :P On Sunday we did Obedience and won!! this time we beat 22 others :P Very proud!! We've been competing for a while and now we finally have good enough results at level 2 to go on to level 3 =) (there are 4 levels total ;)
We also won best all around and to other titles on the basis of having the best results in our club :) Soo much fun!
I've uploaded a video showing the jumpers run were we won, and the first part of the Obedience run, heeling. Here Nila and I got 10 out of 10 points, and that was just amazing for us!! :D Very happy with her focus and attitude!!
Had to have some pictures of the big win. We got three ribbons, 4 glass bowls, a large bag of dog food, and to gift certificates!! So now we'll shop some more doggy stuff :P
This gold medallion is awarded to level 2 finisher with 5 or more points in all events in the program. Nila and I haven't been able to complete a full program (in level 2) before so this was very big for us!!!! Look how shiny it is!! :D
This winter we've had soo much snow and on top of that we've had wonderful weather and sunshine!! Been cross country skiing with the girls and this picture to the left was taken last weekend when me and Mr. A took the ladies out for 3 hours!! Such a good day!!!!!
