Festival Appenzellers

On Monday Brandy and I went to an Agility Fun Run at Dog Training Club of Chester County.  Barbara DeMascio set up a nested course and we tried the intermediate level.  Brandy was very excited to be at a venue where she doesn’t normally train.  Lots of good moments.  <Click title “DTCCC Fun Run” to continue>.

There was a tunnel/dog walk discrimination, like the picture.  The dog walk legs were prevented from slipping with tennis balls.   Brandy noticed the captive tennis ball on the second go-around.  Whoa, is that a tennis ball in distress?  She tried to pull it free and got a little fixated on it.  Very funny!

Brandy’s first agility title just came in the mail!  Apparently the October performance qualified us for Enthusiast Level 1 Handler.

On Oct 6-7, Brandy and I participated in the CPE Agility trials at Honeybrook.   She qualified in her Level 1 Standard and Wildcard runs; what a thrill!  Very nice people at the trial.

Steve built this whelping box. Isn’t it nice? (Click on post title to see photo). It has a hinged panel in front. The panel can be raised so the box is the same height all around.

Here it is with the panel down, after I applied stain.

We washed the dogs yesterday.  Coulomb stood still and enjoyed his bath.  Not Brandy!
