Dog Obedience - State Fair Style

Both kids qualified for competition at the State Fair level this year.

Mikayla/Josie qualified to compete in Agility, Showmanship and Obedience.



Alexia/Katrina qualified to compete in Showmanship and Obedience.



Mikayla earned a Reserve Champion in Agility, Reserve Champion in Showmanship and Champion in Obedience.



Here is a video of her Champion performance in Obedience, filmed by our good friend Kelli since apparently there is some kind of restraining order against me by Mikayla / Josie; they keep insisting that I'm not allowed to be anywhere near the ring during their competition. Probably it's because I'm so lovable that I'm distracting.



Alexia earned a White Ribbon in Obedience and a Blue Ribbon in Showmanship. I was allowed to be in the audience for this Obedience performance, but it sounds as though that may not be the case next year.



Here is a picture of Alexia and Katrina during the Showmanship competition.



We are very proud of all the hard work the kids have invested in training their dogs this year and we're thrilled they were both able to enjoy competing at State Fair.

Thank you to everyone who came down to the fair and stopped by to see us.

Now that fair is over we can return to 'normal' life. Oh, wait a minute... this IS our normal life.
