Blitz working sheep!

The National would not be easy for me this year I would be 2 months into my chemo treatments, starting to feel more fatigued. I not only had Valor I was bringing, but a 7 month old who through no fault of hers, was missing some lessons in life to date. Thanks to 2 wonderful friends who not only shared the driving, my crate moving and dog moving, Jenny Rizzo and Kris Zielinski, both first time Belgian Malinois owners, still can’t believe I talked them into coming and sharing the experience because I knew we did not want to miss The Belgian Nation Celebration!! – how exciting it would be. I could see how much everyone on the Committee had work so hard to make this the Best it could be – and it was! Purina’s awesome new building was beyond spectacular along with their staff. One minute with a two ring agility trial going on and before you know it ready for obedience and breed.

Highlights of the National

• Valor qualifying in Utility B with a 4th Place (1st time in Utility B after earning UD)
• McFly in the 6-9 month Puppy Sweepstakes class earning 3rd Place, in between her sisters Meg 2nd and Snitch 4th
• Valor in Working Sweepstakes 2 and winning his class
• Valor in BOB, not in the best of coat, but going through his paces under the expert handling of his breeder Kate Eldredge. Poetry in motion…that boy can move!!
• My goal for Valor in 2017 was to earn his UD and become my 3rd CH-UDT. Although it seemed very bleak the last day Valor was entered for the year to earn that 3rd leg, but he did. Therefore allowing – the very best thing for me to happen at the National which was attending the Annual Awards Banquet and receiving in person Valor’s Well Balanced Tervuren – CH-UDT plaque!!

Clipz completed his trick performer title by doing a skit about going to visit grandma as little red riding hood.  He had to carry a basket, then climb a ladder, cross a dog walk bridge,  go thru a tunnel, weave thru the trees, skateboard down the hill,  oops he fell and had to do a roll over.  Finally gets to grandmas  knocks on her door, barks to alert her, and gives her big kisses.
