Lily
...unfortunately, the club withdrew the second judge, using the same judge for all trials that weekend, so the third leg didn't count for her title.

On July 3 & 4, 2008, Lily went to her first Rally trials and earned her first two RN legs with 2 second places. On July 11 she earned her 3rd leg with score of 99 out of 100, finishing her RN.

We skipped the trial on July 12, but went back on the lucky 13th for Lily's first Rally Advanced leg, which she earned with a first place!  That speed reading course Lily took has really paid off with those Rally signs!

Lily completed her U-CD (UKC Companion Dog) title on August 16, 2008 with a second place and two third places, plus a "bonus leg" with second place. Not a bad obedience debut!

The following weekend, Aug. 23-24, she earned all 3 legs of her ASCA CD with two fourth places and, for the final leg, a second.

Lily has started agility training, and continues to track. Our focus for the next year, though, will be obedience, and we plan to be out in Spring '09 in AKC, UKC, and ASCA.
Lily earned three UKC Companion Dog legs on June 28 & 29, 2008
with 2 second places and a third. That should have been her U-CD, but....
