And Three is a CD!

I am so thrilled! Levi got his CD today in Obedience! Three for three, he qualified all three days. He got a 180 and would have gotten a 189 had he sat on his halts in the heeling. Well, we will work on that for sure!

Here he is on YouTube. I fought with the video software for about three hours tonight. And since I have no sound on my laptop, thanks to Vista, there is probably no sound on this video. But once I get Vista reinstalled I’ll redo the video.

My obedience instructor tells me that the average times it takes someone to get a CDX (that’s open obedience) is 21 times in the ring. And getting a CD in three for three times is amazing! So I’m very proud of my boy. I hope it doesn’t take us 21 runs to get 3 legs for our CDX, but we’ll be working on the dumbbell and broadjump and hopefully Levi can go into open in August.

I can’t tell you how thrilled I am! To Q and do such a great job at it… it’s just so nice to Q again after struggling with Levi’s weaves in agility for so many years. I’m so excited for this CD!!!!

Levi is now:
CH Pembroke Faded Glory CD HT RE AXP AJP
And those are only his AKC titles, lol. He has many more in other venues! And maybe we can have a party this fall, get some Halloween invitations, and celebrate all Levi’s titles! ;) I figure I’m not going to get titles after my name… so I get them after my dogs’ names. And really, the titles themselves are not the important part. The titles are just a representation to me all of the things I’ve done with Levi, and all my dogs. All the accomplishments we’ve done and all the amazing fun we have together. :)

Bring on the fun and challenges!

    Congratulations! Levi is an absolute star, and gorgeous to boot.

    You just summed up why I love getting titles for my dogs too. Those few letters represent an awful lot sometimes!
