Mint finally made a debut in an obedience competition at Manukau Dog Training Club's Championship Obedience Tests. When we entered a competition in April, Mum took advantage of the opportunity and 'practised' with us using a toy and food, instead of competing. But, this time we actually competed!!
This time again I went first and Mint next. I think I did well enough to make Mum happy. But, apparently Mint did even better, so Mum chose him to do the Stays with, and he got placed the 3rd in the Elementary class!!
According to Mum, Mint got two points deducted in the Heelwork, because he stopped and turned back to see a dog that was practising in an unused ring next to our ring. She says that Mint did very well otherwise. Also, it turned out that my point deduction was only two pints and a half, which means that I might have been placed as well if I had done the Stays.
Sorry, this time we have no videos to show you because our cameraman, our dad, didn't go to the competition. But instead he took a photo of Mint with his ribbon and prize at home.
The next competition is two weeks away. I will do my best so that Mum chooses me to do the Stays with next time!
Before I go, I would like to remind my blog friends that I am not ignoring them. I still can't comment on my friends' Blogger blogs. I hope the problem will be solved soon!!
Yay Mint! *Applause*

ps. hey - I found a way to solve the Blogger problem...when it redirects you to the "Sign In" page, just type your name & password again but UNTICK the box for "Keep me signed in" - this way, it should let you through no problem. IT just means that you have to sign in everytime when you turn on the computer again and want to visit friensd again but that's OK! Hope this helps!
Good Work Mint, you show them what Beagles can do
ReplyDeleteCongrats! You both did great!
