Tip Tail

I am so proud of my smooth collie girl! Tatum got her very first title ever this weekend. I’ll upload the videos in a bit. Here is a picture of her with all her ribbons. She Qualified every day in Rally. On Friday she got a 91, on Saturday she got an 89, and today [...]

I’m so proud of my Tatum girl! She is doing so well. I’m not convinced she really knows we are doing a thing in the ring, but she sits when I tell her, she downs when I tell her, and she follows me around just fine! That is two Qs for her in a row, [...]

Chase got his CDX!!!! I am thrilled!  I almost thought it would never happen. He started laying down on his sit stays back in March.  After the pigeon incidence and he got to do a 9.5 minute down stay in the ring. After that, I thought we were pretty much screwed.  But with lots of [...]

Well, work is over and I’m heading up to Idaho Falls this weekend for AKC obedience. Hopefully Chase will get that CDX, but I’m worried about it. Bleh. I hate worrying about obedience. I also have to repost a couple of posts her on Tip Tail but that will happen probably tomorrow or the next [...]

Tatum did it! She qualified in ASCA Rally-O today! It’s her first Q ever! I’m so proud of her. And I do think she was a little bit more connected to me today than she was yesterday. She held her sit stay too, the honor sit, even though I talked to her the whole time. [...]

Well, I took Levi and Tatum to Utah’s first ASCA Rally trial today. We had a lot of fun! And I have to say I’m so very impressed with Tatum! She did such a good job! Here is the video of her: My collie girl, coming from a hoarder’s back yard, horribly bred, very little [...]

Well Chase now has Three CDs behind his name. Though the UKC CD might actually be a prefix title I’m not sure. Today we went to a UKC trial and he picked up the last leg for his UCD. We don’t have many UKC trials here in Utah and so we do them when we [...]

Well it’s April… but it sure didn’t feel like it on Friday when my husband and I took three of our dogs up the canyon for a hike. We went 4 miles round trip and had fun. But there was too much snow! I needed a hot shower after this walk, or some walk in [...]

Yay! Tatum did agility! I’m so excited! She did great! She exceeded all my expectations. I kept saying I didn’t really think she was ready, but I was wrong! She’s ready! Well, she’s still pretty darn slow, LOL, but I hope speed will come with time and confidence. I entered her in ASCA agility, prenovice, [...]

Well we are gearing up for a three day ASCA trial this weekend. I hope to get some video. I MUST get video of Tatum! She’s in Pre-Novice and I’m now nervous about running her! It’ll be just for fun, I don’t think she’s ready really, but pre-novice will be pretty darn easy and it’ll [...]
