Today Blu ran two Barn Hunt trials and qualified for one leg of her Novice title! She even managed to place 2nd place in trial.  She's been going to practice for it and today was time to put her training to the test.  It's Blu's first experience in a titling/competitive ring, so that was a bit of pressure and stress for her with the other dogs working the other rings and the spectators, new environment.  But she managed to do alright.  Congratulations to Blu and great job to our co-owner, Jade.  Looks like everyone had a good time at the 2016 Rat-Tastic Con!

Now Blu is headed off to her appointment for OFA hip and elbow radiography evaluations.  Cross our fingers everything turns out fine.. we'll get results back in about three weeks.  Blu's trial specs can be found on her page here.

Little Borrasca also is getting so big!  Time is flying by - I can't believe it's already been one month since she came.  She's largely settled into her daily routine now and is starting her basic training in detection/Nosework and Rally-Obedience for some trials coming up.  So here are a few photos her growing up with Rōnin..
