Flag's official win photo! Taken at 6:30 a.m. after a looooong night!
Flag and I spent New Year's weekend 2005 with a bunch of crazy dog people,
all doing what we love best--dancing with our dogs! The year's first Rally-O
trials were lots of fun and when it was all over, Flag had become THE FIRST
RIDGEBACK IN HISTORY TO EARN A RALLY TITLE!
We qualified in 3 straight trials, with scores of 95 and a third place
in our class, score of 94, and score of 93. The trials were attended by many
of our friends and fellow students from our obedience classes, all cheering each other on. The camaraderie
and support was incredible. Many thanks to our obedience instructor, Dottie
Hamblin, who makes obedience work FUN!
