In Memory of Glady

Sadly, Team Beagle lost a friend last week. Glady came into our lives in 2006. She stayed with us for a month and stole our hearts. We were so excited when our friends Libby and Herbie adopted her because we knew that we would get to see her often. With Libby and Herbie she got to experience the good life. Libby and Glady would go on long walks and Libby often took Glady to work with her. With Herbie, Glady enjoyed every evening on the couch with him until it was bedtime. She had a wonderful personality, friendly to all. She will be sorely missed. Glady is playing with Browny at the Rainbow Bridge.

Brew at 2nd Rally Competition

Sunday, Brew and I competed in our 2nd Rally trial. We got a 91 out of 100 and our 2nd leg towards Rally Novice A title. We did pretty well until the last sign and then I guess Brew was uncertain of what I wanted so we had to redo the sign but still lost 5 points (ouch!)

Here are the scores for our group:
And here is Brew and my individual score

Brew at his 1st Rally Competition

Today, Brew and I competed in our 1st Rally competition. We got 91 out of 100 and our 1st leg of 3 towards a Rally Novice Title. As you can see Brew was a little distracted at the beginning as he was looking for Jo who had the treat bag. Next time, I won't let him see her and the treat bag. We placed 5th just missing 4th place ribbon by one point. Below is the video from today.


Here are the scores for my group, we were number 2116.

These were the Judge's marks for us.

Congratulations Jack A Roo! You're A CHAMPION

Another Abba puppy becomes a Champion! Jack joins Bella and Bob in the championship halls.

Brew & Bob at the Renton Fun Match!

Today, Jo and I got up early for the Renton Fun Match. Below are videos of their Rally runs. I learned outdoor rings are a huge distraction for the beagles. Brew held it together until the 8th sign and then he was all beagle - smelling and sniffing the ground. Bob also smelled everything as well as jumping all over the place. Overall, they both did pretty well after all they are beagles and so they should get extra credit. I've entered Brew in Rally at the June Puyallup show so I can see we need to do some extensive training in the next two weeks without treats.

Team Beagle in Training

Brew and Bob in the Riverdog Outdoor Excursion class. Here we are at Tiger Mountain a few weeks ago, lots of off leash dogs and smells in abundance which meant BIG challenges for beagles to remain calm. And yes, that is Brew in the background barking.

Congratulations Jack!

Jack A Roo won a 5 point major yesterday (Friday) at the Lewiston, Id dog show. Go Jack - just heard that he won another 5 point major on Sunday.

Happy Birthday, Abba!

Brew visits Hiltz Beagles

Brew and I drove south to visit with David and Lesley. And Brew got his teeth cleaned and ended up having to have four teeth pulled - OUCH! Maybe now he'll stop chewing on those rocks. LOL
