Bravo showed in Novice B this morning. Bravo never got the luxury
and opportunity to attend any matches before his shows due to being
involved with service dog training.
So, he's had a lot a learning to do at his first few shows. The
show today was huge (in an Expo Center). There were a lot of
noises, big crowds and an echoing hall.
Bravo is in a nearly ready show coat. Unfortunately, most dog
exhibitors or the general public can't appreciate the effort that
has been put into his coat.
This was Bravo's third all breed show. He is getting the hang of it
and his tail was wagging quite a bit. Between exercises he seemed
to have a lot of fun as his tail was wagging hard.
Bravo seemed distracted at the beginning of the on lead heeling, and
needed a couple of double commands. That seemed to do the job and
he did an excellent job of off lead heeling.
He was rocksolid on the stand for examination. Then, he came on a
full run on the recall. He did the best finish he has d she one in his life, flipping to position as the command was out and sitting
perfectly.
The sit and down stays were as rocksolid as his stand.
He qualified and got his first leg! :-)
