Good Weekend!!!

Story by Iris Bergen. Bobby, my 9 yr old Briard x OES, was in an agility trial last weekend. I am very pleased with how he ran. Fast (for his standard), clean and with enthusiasm. He had a qualifying run in Masters standard and jumpers. Most impressively also a steeplechase run! So far it has always been a time issue. In the standard, he was the only one in the veteran class to Q! This is a qualifying run in Masters Jumper (click on link below). It looks easy, but it had it's own challenges. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU7F0_aSEgY

We also brought Felix out Saturday and Sunday afternoon. He behaved very well and waited very quietly in his crate even when other dogs came right by his crate. Felix is too young to be trialed, but I thought better to get him used to the atmosphere. Helen Moulden came out Saturday and I showed her my boy. She seemed quite pleased with how he is turning out. Felix came from Veronique Mauroux of Briards de Guerande, Quebec. His parents are Vraiment Belle de Guerande x Grinzing's Aurore Boreale. Felix' registered name is Deux Felix de Guerande.
