I'm new here, thought this would be a good way to get to know many of you and what you do with your dogs! I've looked through a lot of the posts but this will be a way to have things more concise for me.
These are the things my dogs and I have dabbled in over the years:
Obedience (German Shepherds: Dawson and Trick, Chows: Kylee, Dora and Khana, and Australian Shepherd: Lady .. total of 17 titles so far)
Herding (Dawson, Trick, Lady and Kylee .. one actual title, others all certified on sheep)
Agility (Trick, Kylee, Dora and Tori .. total of eight titles so far)
Tracking (Dawson and Kylee .. AKC style tracking, but no titling as of yet)
Schutzhund (Trick and Kylee .. schutzhund BH on Kylee)
Rally (Trick and Khana .. one title so far)
Freestyle (Trick, Dora and Khana .. just for fun and demo)
Conformation (Khana primarily .. Dora is pointed too, but is spayed now)
Flyball (Trick and Khana .. just for fun)
I like variety, can you tell? *L* When I was young (high school) I was a charter member of the Peninsula Junior Sled Dog Association, we ran races in the winter and my dog pulled a flatbed trailer in the summer (parades and just for fun). But that's a LONG time in the past now.
By the way, Dawson and Lady have passed on, Kylee is retired and Dora is close to that, and Tori is just a "live at home" dog now. The list above covers some 17 years of training and playing. Trick and Khana are the two that do the most at this point. My heart is in obedience, rally and freestyle although the others were all fun too.
So what things do you do with your dogs?
