Wally CDX title run.wmv

On December 5, 2010 Wally finished his CDX title in Yuma, AZ under judge David Haddock. It was almost exactly 2 years since he'd finished his CD title at the Yuma trials. (We only show a few times a year.) We had struggled with group stays, but after "fixing" those he nailed them - - but the rest of his performance really went down the tubes. This was his lowest score ever - - but it was a Q and a title and I'll take it and proudly show it off.
He's my very best boy - my dream dog and my heart and soul mate.
Thanks to my special training partners for all their help and encouragement - and husband Ray for tolerance and more, and Doug Smith for the video.

What an awesome video -- loved the added narrative. Now that's competition with grace and humor. I'm preparing for my first ever obedience trial, and you and Wally have inspired me. Thank you!

@carmenbuit Thanks. Wally is my dream dog, altho most people don't understand that. Good luck with your trial. When do you show? And where? What kind of dog? the first time is alway special - and nerve wracking. Ruthie

@RallyJudge Sorry for delay in replying...I never saw the Messages in YouTube before. :- ) My Rally boy is a sweet but very fearful 12-lb. Chi mix, and I'm beginning to think we'll never compete. He's afraid of lots of new stimuli, flooring, even flooring with other dogs' scents can send him skittering out of heel, etc. His Rally behaviors are ready -- but I need a ton of proofing/generalization now in different settings. I'm in Hood River, OR, will compete in OR or WA.
