Fat Dog Titles


Sarah and Shitani had a great weekend at the ANKC comp in Townsville with a couple of nice judges up from down south, Lisa and Skeeta, and way up north, Roul. This was a marathon double event starting at 2pm and running on until about 3am the next morning. The Fat Dog actually did some of that obedience stuff while he was waiting around for the agility and got his last two CCD quals for his title. Sarah and Shit also ran well in agility, qualling in ADX and GD, giving shitty his GD title and even more letters after his fat name.

Even Tim and Kai had moments where they looked like they knew what they were doing. Kai spent most of his time running around barking and doing whatever he wanted, then buckled down for novice jumpers both times to get two JD quals. Now if only he would have got that one last week that was so close. He also did some nice distance work. Just a pity he doesn't weave. Will have to train him one day.

This was a big competition and a big effort by all. Thanks to the Judges and all the Townsville people for a very successful day, and early morning.
