Farmer's Market, Training, Downtown -- Busy Day

Farmer's Market - Observed the ban on dogs, walked the perimeter, we were there early so I didn't get the chance to meet many people.

Training - Graduated Advanced Obedience, today we did some more of the AKC Rally stations, it was only Reese and I.  PS: Reese won a blue ribbon at Ocala Dog Show.  As we were leaving a car pulled over so they could take my picture.

Downtown - Santa arrived at the docks, big crowd.  Meet lots of people, had several photos taken.  Why do they always say "No Way" when Mom or Dad tell them I am only 10-1/2 months old.

Waiting to go to dog park.

Pajama Shopping Day Downtown

Big crowd, I was on my best behavior.  Several people stopped to take my picture, like always I didn't pose very well.

NAWBA 2010 Schutzhund Confidence Practice

While at NAWBA 2010 I had the opportunity to go on the field with a decoy to demonstrate my courage.  I was a little timid and wouldn't bite the sleeve, so Fred had Justin use a burlap rope.  I did a little better, this was more like playing with my rope tug toy at home.

Photo by Akemi, Justin is the Decoy and Carla is supervising.  Location is Dutch East Training Ring, Virginia Beach, Va.

NAWBA 2010 Confirmation Puppy Class

I entered the puppy class confirmation to learn how I stacked up against the bred standards.

That's Dad and me on the right.

Judged by: FCI Judge Jean-Yves Reguer, France


First Place: Michelle Jones & Koda (Casa De Mandingos Kodakracker)


Second Place: Dana Long-Terry & Zander (Zander-Dre Casa de Mandingos)


Well, it was an honorary 3rd, since I have been neutered I am not eligible for placement.

Dad got the truck stuck today

The field where we are parking at Dutch East was wet and slick, Dad stopped when he shouldn't have and couldn't get traction to get going again.  Fortunately there was someone with 4WD.  Dad's advanced planning wasn't quite up to par, the nice tow strap was back in Yulee.  He was able to improvise one out of three of the tie down straps.  We got out without any problem, but we didn't slow down going through that area when we left.

Boardwalk Virginia Beach

Four Bouv's, two with carts walking down the Virginia Beach Boardwalk in the rain, what a sight.  Photos at http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=471928510488&set=a.445240660488.208819.580690488

All day in truck

Spent the day in the truck, Yulee to Virginia Beach.  The reward got reunited with mom (Bunny) and a sister.  It looks like I will be entered in the confirmation event at NAWBA championship.
