Brando BH
Brando (Bogan x Joujou) earned his BH the weekend before Thanksgiving. This is a pass/fail combination obedience & temperament test for those that don’t play in Schutzhund. We had a great time. I was very happy with Brando’s happy attitude and focus.

Fever Jumper’s Run
Here is a super jumpers run from last weekend. I am so happy with this run since it has been very hard for us to Q in this class. Usually one dropped bar (which is a failure) or a handling mistake. Over the summer we have been working on Susan Salo’s jumping program since it was apparent we were missing something. I have seen great improvement on Fever’s take off points and striding in practice and it is evident in this video as well. She looks very balanced and smooth, not launching herself early toward the jumps as in the past. I love the squeaking she does when she wants to GO FASTER!! And right before the tunnel look at her dig in and accelerate! Ground speed is her forte.
She won this large and competitive class with a time of 22.51 seconds on a course time of 42 seconds and 157 yards. That is 6.97 yards per second! It was a super fun course that was flowing and allowed different handling options. I almost chickened out on the long lead out push, but glad I didn’t. This run made my whole weekend and we were one missed Aframe contact away from a QQ.

Here are the titles Rebel has so far: SchH3, MR1, CGC. We are still training and competing so I hope to add to those titles yet. Rebel was 2nd in the 2009 USA Western Regional Championships at the SchH1 level, 2nd at the DVG Western Regional Championships at the SchH2. He was 2nd at the 2011 USMRA National Championships at the MR1. He has also been high in trial numerous times in schutzhund club trials, as well all 1st place MR1 at least 3 club trials. We are now waiting to hear if he made the USMRA World Team which will travel to Switzerland this fall. We should know later next week.
