Pedigree DM Results
Rose won 2nd place and earned her AKC Rally Novice Obedience title.
Think of an AKC Rally® event as any team sport: You and your dog navigate a course, side-by-side, as you steer him through a course of 10-20 different signs. Each of these signs provides instructions regarding the next skill that is to be performed. The dog and handler move continuously throughout the course with the dog under control at the handler’s left side. There is a clear sense of teamwork between the dog and handler both during and between the numbered signs. Although each performance is timed, having a good race time is not the goal; it’s all about working as a team while performing the skills, with the dog under control.

Rose -Tracking
Rose tracking her little master downwind. This was a long track where she was tracking her little master from the driveway to the pasture behind the barn, then came down the side of the barn, around the pond, and then into the goat pen where SK was hiding.
