On Sunday of our busy weekend, we went to Ardmore New Zealand Kennel Club Exhibition Centre to attend two events at the same time!
The coursing of the Hound Racing Club was scheduled to start at 10am. But, when we arrived at 9:30am, the course had already been set up. It seemed everyone had looked forward to the coursing so much!
As the other even we were attending was to start at 10:30am, Mum asked the club president if Mint and I could run in the first race. I got so excited that it was really hard not to bark!!!
After having one race, we quickly moved to the inside of a building where we were going to do a demonstration of dog dancing for the Labrador Club.
As you may know, I am a little reactive to other dogs. So, Mum was very worried that I might bark at the audience of the demo. But, as I always say, she always worries too much!
Five dogs, including Mint and me, performed their dance routines in front of many Labrador Retrievers and their owners.

Everyone did very well and were well received by the audience. In the audience there were dogs and their owners who trained in a CGC preparation class with me two and a half years ago. As they knew how naughty and reactive I had used to be, they were very impressed with my improvement.
After the dog dancing demonstration, we went back to the Hound Racing Club and had another two races.
It was a really busy weekend, but we had so much fun!!
That looks like fun!

Nola, yes, it was a lot of fun!
DeleteI think the hound racing must have been wild. All those big ears flapping in the wind. Congratulations on keeping your cool around the other doggies. I am sure your mom was very proud of you.

Dexter, you will know how exciting the hound racing is, if you try it! I hope we made Mum proud of us!
