Bravo, BH !

Bravo passed his BH this morning!
The judge was impressed with how well he did :-), given that he's a terrier. :-(

He did a faultless stay, good healing and an incredible recall!
On the down in motion, he did decide to sit instead. But, overall he was fantastic.

Thanks! I'm proud of Bravo myself. I thought somebody was there taking pictures, but it turns out it was DVD. So, I will have a DVD but no individual pictures.
Unfortunately, the likelihood of going on into the VPG levels is minuscule as Bravo has a definite noise sensitivity. He will never withstand gunshots unless something miraculously changes.
So, although Bravo enjoys swimming and is fearless about water, I'm afraid that his future career will be limited to obedience, possibly tracking.
Of course, there are titles for these in VPG and/or Working Dog Sport. But, unless things change in WDS, I think Bravo will be limited to obedience trials.
Nonetheless, I already know that Bravo enjoys jumping tremendously, and is a happy retriever. So, next is maybe Open obedience?
That's one of the great things about dealing with a personal breed. Although a dog may be lacking in one area, with an Airedale there's always something the be good at! ;D
