GOODLUCK for the show/comp/trial, sure you will both do just fine
you guys have alot of different classes to what we have here.we have.
Encouragement, which is all heel on lead, stand free, sit stay 1 min, down stay 3 min. stand for examination. once you get one pass in that class you go onto novice (clover and i are doing novice at the moment)
Novice: heel pattern on lead then off lead, recall, same stays as encouragement, stand free,stand for examination. you need three passes in novice with atleast 2 different judges to get the CD title (companion dog)
Open: heel pattern off lead, retrieve dumbell on flat and directed jumping,drop on recall, and out of sight stays ~shudders~ we will never get through open as clover HATES the dumbell. three passes with atleat two different judges (CDX title)
then the higest level is Utility: all hand signals no voice for a part of it, seek back(find a scented object in the ring), go out to the box (dog is sent out to a box) (4 peices of dowel laid on the ground in the form of a box) the dog must turn around in the box and sit. directed jumping. all of the fun stuff that clove and i will never get to do because of her phobia of the dumbell
well i hope everything goes well for you and once again GOODLUCK
oh and have you got any photos of Annieim sure everyone would love to see them.
