Dog shows

Sketcher was shown in conformation for the first time last weekend, to help make the major that finished his mom's Ch.  He enjoyed it quite a bit, me not so much!

 

Fortunately, he won't be shown again for several months, long enough for me to get more training into him, and for him to mature a little mentally ... <G>

Land and water amok time

We went out to Boulder City NV to do three obedience trials, so Sketch got to run amok at Lake Mead and in the desert.  He approves ... ;-)

First match

Now that he is in one piece again, we did a match to get ready for the Turkey circuit.  I was really happy with how well he did considering we really don't do that much work on this stuff - his biggest issue was wanting to grab the leash while moving (wonder why? <G>)

 

But we worked on it and by the end he would gait without the leash pretty much the whole time.  Here is a crappy screen grab from the video.
