Hounds for the Holidays

Sunday, December 12th, 2010

My favorite Agility event is the “Hounds for the Holidays” four day trial in Milwaukee at Uihlien Soccer ParK the second week of December. The whole building is taken over by dogs with all three Soccer fields being used as Agility rings. It is very well organized by Sue Fregien and her Cream City Canine Crew (the Budnys and McNamaras especially). It takes a lot to get 1000 dogs scheduled and run in a reasonable time frame. The trial really operates like clockwork. I like it so much that its the only trial I officially volunteer - all four days.

Klara and I ran all four days, too. We’ve been doing really well in training lately so I was expecting to get at least 6 out of 8 Qs. But, no such luck - we managed only 3 Qualifying scores. Oh, well, it was fun trying!

Orchid - CHAMPION!

Sunday, November 7th, 2010

Orchid earned her championship last weekend at the Sioux Empire Kennel Club shows in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She went Winners Bitch both days each of which was a three point major. Thank you Terri Meyers for handling Orchid. Terri was assisted by Kris Gerdesmeier and Lori Logli. I’m thrilled to have Orchid back home to continue her Agility career.

Orchid’s AKC registered name is CH Gladystar Obsidian Flower.
