Orbit (Alkemi Cosmic Curiosity LT) made his debut in United Kennel Club conformation today at the Ontario ShoresKennel Club show in Canandaigua NY. And what a debut! He WON the group in one show and took a group third in the other. AWESOME job Orbit, Jim and Ruth!
Sue and I had a puppy training morning. It’s a good idea to get the puppies out on their own, away from the big dogs occasionally.
We worked a jump grid and a course Sue picked up at a Theresa Rector seminar. I need to remember to be crisp and clear with my handling. I tend to do things slower than I need to, and muddier than I should. We’re a work in progress!

Tunnel Call Off (this is huge, since switching between handler focus and obstacle focus is most definitely a work in progress, especially if the obstacle is a tunnel!);
