She has every reason to be proud! Congrats to them!

Your training crew must be so proud of her, too.

That's an understatement! Betsy, Linda and a couple of others all went to England with Petra. The rest of us were glued to our computers this weekend, most of us jumping between the live feed on the Eukanuba site and Top Dog's Yahoo forum for updates from one of them.

Unfortunately, the Obedience World Cup Awards were the only awards not shown on the website this weekend. Tongue Tied They showed the awards for individual obedience yesterday in the main areana, even tho the event was in another areana. The Parade of Obedience World Cup Teams was scheduled for the main areana this afternoon, my time, and it never happened.

That's awesome. Looking at those pics it was dominated by herding breeds, so even cooler that a Lab tied for second. What I can't figure out is what WS stands for as the breed? W(something) shepherd, I assume, but what's the W? They all look like Aussies and BCs to me, lol "Aussie Collie Cross", eh??

WS is Working Sheepdog. From what Betsy said, they aren't registerd. Sounds like they're a mix. One of the agility dogs was listed as a WS- the commentators even said it, then said he looked like a JRT/Corgi cross (which he did).
