We had a busy long weekend holiday - Borrasca is settling in great and is such a confident and open little puppy. Along with some puppy playdates, she also had her first beach visit at Montrose Dog Beach and a day spent in the Sunday open markets at Maxwell Street in Chicago. As you can see she had a blast...
In other news, our Blu also graduated beginner's competitive obedience this week. Morrow is also doing pretty well in her tracking classes and using some handy GPS apps, it's easy to map our tracks and see her progress. This week was week 10 since we started weekly tracking classes and she's up to 300-400 meters with 4 turns, no food on the track. Agility set 4 is quickly coming to an end too, with just 1 more weekly class left in this set. I can't say we are doing amazing, but we are doing at least OK and Morrow seems to enjoy it so.... I think that at this point we've worked on all the standard agility elements except for weaves, and that will be taught as a separate workshop.
Lastly, Morrow went to a set of UKC conformation shows hosted by the APBT SoCal Club in Claremont on Monday. She did much better than before in terms of handling and gaiting so I'm happy about that. She doesn't think too much of conformation shows and much prefers her classes where she's allowed to jump and run or smell things, but she put up with me well enough ..
Our results this weekend:
Show 1 - Junior Class 1, best female, best of breed, Group 2 under Judge Jerry Brown and
Show 2 - Junior Class 1, best female, best of breed, Group 3 under Judge Janet Fink.
We were in a bit of a rush to get packed up and home before agility class, so we didn't stay for photos. So we'll end on some miscellaneous fun photos from the weekend; Ghost in the baby pool & Borrasca meeting Rōnin 🙂
