Brew at Enumclaw 08.21.11
Off to another show to see if we could improve our Rally Advanced scores. While we could move up to Rally Excellent and pursue our next title, I decided we should have a few more rounds of practice at the Advanced level. And today, we did do much better with a score of 94. The course was fun and included a lot of different elements. The ring stewards at the show to my surprise were my instructors and training partners so the pressure was on. I'm sure in Rally class tomorrow, Debbie will be pointing out all my flaws. LOL Helen gave me a great complement and said that Brew's attention on me was wonderful. And after watching the video, I was very proud of Brew's attention.
Brew at Portland - Beagle Specialty and Team Rally
Back in July, Brew and I competed at the Beagle Specialty in Portland. At the Beagle Specialty, we entered in Novice Obedience and got a score of 176/200. Not our best performance but we were the only beagle entered in Obedience so we got 1st. LOL.
In the afternoon, we competed in Rally Advanced. In Rally, we were joined by other beagle competitors, although they weren't in our class at least we had beagle company. We got an 88/100 and our 3rd and final leg towards his Rally Advanced certificate. (So we added some more letters after his name - RA).
On Saturday, our Rally score was 78/100. Brew was just a little distracted - ok he was a lot distracted - he kept looking outside the ring (for you know who...JO!)
On Saturday, we also competed in a new event for us - Team Rally. So our team consisted of a Newfoundland, Papillon, schnauzer, and a beagle. We competed against four other teams. So each team member goes thru the course separately but one right after the other. Our team got 3rd place so not too bad.
On Sunday, we tried again and at least improved our score to an 89. We made Jo go away long before we went into the ring. (Jo would just say that the beagles like her better - sure because she gives them all the good treats and lets them sleep in bed with her.)

Brew gets his Rally Advanced title in Portland
The weekend of July 22-24, 2011, Brew and I competed in a few events at the Portland Expo show. On Friday, it was the Beagle Specialty. We entered in Novice Obedience and Rally Advanced. We were the only beagle entered in Obedience but we did have beagle company in the Rally classes. Our obedience score was 176/200 so not too good. There was some confusion as to whether we were competing or not so we ran into the ring on the la

Brew Howls for Me
Brew was very upset one day when I took Bob to school instead of him. Kevin was walking the beagles and I met him along the road. As I loaded Bob up and drove away, I could see Brew turning to look back where I had gone. When Brew got home, he began to howl and pace.
