    Honor's Great Rally Weekend

    I just wanted to share how proud I am of Honor.  This weekend, Honor had four APDT rally trials in Level 1B.  She's currently going for her Level 1 Championship title while we prepare for Level 2.  You need 10 qualifying legs in order to receive your RL1X, and Honor had 4/4 Qs this weekend!  I'm so proud of her because she received some of her highest scores to date: a 187, 192, 194, and an all-time high of 200!!!  Hopefully she'll repeat her wonderful performance at Premier next weekend. :)

    This is a video of her 200 run: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNPquLpxRG8

    We lost 5 points on the Halt-Stand at the beginning because she produced an extra sit, and I mistakenly thought that we should retry the exercise then.  And we lost 2 points for tight lead, but she received 7 points for the bonus exercise so it was a wash at 200!  I'm very proud of her.  We've both come a long way from our disasterous first trial where I was a nervous basketcase and ended out NQing by touching her.  I'm so excited because she's shown that she really loves rally, and I'm looking forward to preparing for Level 2 with her!

    Thanks for letting me share!

    Jennie - Thanks for the congrats and the compliments on her coat!  Honor's such a fluffy fluffy girl right now, she feels like a stuffed toy. Smile

    Lani - Thanks for the congrats as well!  I know you remember how nervous I was before her first trial, and we've come a long way as a team.  I'm so very proud of her that she's so willing to keep working, and that she genuinely enjoys herself!  It's very rewarding, and I cannot WAIT to see how she does in Level 2.

    Thanks everyone again!
