Guarding the sleepover gang.......
Well, we started the year off right in agility! Retro and I entered our first trial together and came home with High in Trial Novice! 8 qualifying scores out of 10 runs with 6 firsts and 2 seconds - a dream. My first time trialing in 10 years so I was proud that I remembered the courses and survived the runs. Great foundation work with Noriko Aso - onward!
At the end of working with Kirsten, Retro often gets to bring stock out so they can have lunch and mingle. This was the first time for ALL the stock and it seems to blow his mind (which do I gather first? Wait, there are cows over there!). But good boy staying calm!
No rain, thunder, lightning, mud, hail, Lake Dan or girl dogs in season could stop Retro’s success in March at the Hedgehog Hustle in Queen Creek, Arizona! With the expert training and handling from Kirsten Cole, Retro received 16 of 18 Qualifying scores and earned 3 new titles. His attention, enthusiasm and biddability was great for a young dog.
Thank you Kirsten for your expertise in helping Retro be successful and your care with him in the arena. Also huge thanks to Arizona Working Aussies for a welcoming first-class event.
And most of all, thank you Retro - for all your abilities but mostly for just being our best buddy.
