Hate to brag again, but I'm so proud of my kerry boy, Jessie. We tried again for a UDX leg this weekend, but didn't manage that task. But we did get a fourth in Utility on Saturday, and then first place in Open B on Sunday and High In Trial!!!! I was so excited. He had a wonderful woulda coulda shoulda score in utility (only half a point off), but I double commanded the high jump and NQd him when he hestitated. Just the thought he almost got a 199.5 left me amazed (the next highest score was a 195 so it wasn't an easy judge). The judge told me I had a really nice dog that he was sure would get a 200 some day, LOL. I told him I'd faint if that ever happened. It's so nice to hear, though, that someone likes your dog. He said Jessie hit every front and finish -- must have been something in the water there.
It was a really nice show site -- indoors, air-conditioning. They had signs saying no crating indoors, but then let us do it anyway. The trial was South Hills Kennel Club Trial in Washington, PA. The club was really nice, and the judges were nice. There were tons of different breeds -- bull terriers, a great dane who won Novice B, a bulldog, and such. The judges kept commenting on all the "ususual" breeds that weren't just showing, but also winning. Very cool to see. Put this trial on your "must go to" for next year!
