We should be ready for Utility in the spring. She finished her CDX last December and had a 6 month break to have a litter of puppies! We kept Dusty from the litter. We have also done agility and hunting work. Dixie's full title is Glenbrook's Dixieland Dancer CDX NA JH CGC WC

The letters stand for Companion Dog Excellent, Novice Agility, Junior Hunter, Canine Good Citizen, and Working Certificate. The WC is not recognized by the AKC. It is a Golden Retriever title which is equivelent to Junior Hunter but you only have to pass once instead of 4 times. You have to have 4 legs for a hunt title instead of the 3 legs you need in obedience.

I actually teach obedience but am not certified by the AKC. I am working on that and hope to be certified as a judge also someday! I have been active in obedience for over 25 years. My goal with Dixie is to have an OTCH on her (Obedience Trial Champion). We have a long way to go but she is only 3 1/2 so we might be able to do it!
