Been a great but busy day! I've been around way too many awesome dogs, but I hardly think that's a reason to complain.
First the stockdog trial was awesome! I thought it was a couple miles from my house, I was wrong. I decided to drive there, got a few hundred feet from my apartment and I was there! It was at the horse center's arena which if you remember my apartment is right next to the horse center. I should've walked there lol. Unfortunately the lighting sucked majorly and I just don't have the lens for that kind of stuff yet. Hopefully the next trial will be outdoors so I get good pics. I saw Stella but didn't get to meet her. I had to go late because I had to setup responsible owner day then I had to leave early to work there. So I was there a few hours. I can say pretty confidently that my next dog will definitely be a working line border collie. They were awesome! I also saw two kelpies run which was interesting, I'd never seen a kelpie work before.
Responsible dog ownership day was a BLAST. I did meet the breed with papillons and got talked into entering Summer in the AKC match show. We won 1st place! Lol, I know it's not a big deal but still... it's her first AKC ribbon. Summer was SO good. There were dogs everywhere and she only was reactive to one really poorly behaved lab. She's come such a long ways and is doing much better around other dogs. She let them greet her and was just pretty much bombproof.
So onto the pics. I debated posting the SDT pics because they suck, but I figured people would still want to see them. Sorry they suck so much, it was REALLY dark in there.
More, this might take a while LOL
