Happy New Year, everyone! 🪩 🍸

Agility training…!

Thank you to the Santa Ana Valley Kennel Club for holding their annual show this weekend.

On Friday, Dolly earned her 3rd qualifying score (Q) and a 3rd place finish (91!) in Rally Excellent and finished her AKC Rally Excellent title! She moved up to trial in the Master class. Link earned his 5th Q with a score of 93!

On Saturday, Link earned his 6th Q (out of 10 needed) but Dolly was tired from heat and mugginess and had trouble focusing. No Q for her.

On Sunday, Link had a beautiful run but the lady missed a sign and it was an NQ. 🥲 Dolly earned her first Q toward her Rally Master title!

We had a break from agility the last 2 months and made our return this weekend!

Link earned his Excellent FAST Preferred title with a 1st place finish. We had fun on our other runs (especially the Excellent JWW!!) but didn’t Q. Link is such a Good Boi™️

Looking forward to our next trial!

Link is…

AKC: RE OAP OJP XFP BCAT CGC TKA

Mr Link broke a tooth a few days ago and went in for a dental today to pull out the remaining root. 🥲

He’s now back home and feeling much, much better.

Guess who just passed his AKC CGC (Canine Good Citizen) Test..?? This little homie!

His look kinda says it all. Shooketh.

This was Link’s 3rd CGC attempt, so 3rd time’s the charm! If you’ve ever met Link in person, you know he’s sweet, cuddly, over-the-top, and very extra when it comes to barking and going for pets. So his, ahem, over-exuberance prevented him from passing CGC before. He’s just very, very, very chatty and energetic.

We’ve worked a lot on calm behaviors and it’s finally paid off. Best little rescue boi. 💛

AKC: RE NAP NJP OFP BCAT CGC (pending) TKA

We have been celebrating Mr Link’s birthday since the 13th—his actual birthday. He’s had sniffaris, stinky sardines (yum..??), and lots of belly rubs.
