Rebel titles
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.

Bacci
Bacci & Erica
Bacci got his French Ring Brevet on Saturday, scoring 99 out of 100 points!
This is our French Ring Brevet. The decoy is Jimmy Vanhove, a French decoy. All of the exercises, except for “heel on leash,” are done without? a leash or collar. The order of exercises are 1) heel on leash, 2) food refusal, 3) heel with muzzle, 4) absence of handler (for 1 minute), 5) defense of handler, and 6) face attack. Dogs must score a total of 80 out of 100 points to pass. In addition, they must acquire a minimum of 80% for the each of the bitework exercises. Bacci’s score was 98.9/100.
The only area where we messed up was in the defense of handler. Bacci was supposed to begin the exercise in the sit position. Instead, he went into the down. He was anticipating the face attack. I thought he might do this. We had been working on it during training, and I knew it was still an issue for us.
