Obedience That Almost Was

This past weekend was the Greyhound Club of Northern California fall specialty in Pleasanton California.
Conformation results will be posted in a separate blog-pictures not available yet.
The morning started with a nice obedience entry-1 Utility, 2 Open, 1 Graduate Novice and 1 Beginner Novice.
Unfortunately only the Beginner Novice qualified.
Below are the videos of the dog's performance starting with Utility.

This was Whisper's first attempt at Utility and my first time in the Utility ring. Normally the Directed Jumping is her best exercise-but not that day. She was qualifying until that exercise. Big big Bummer.



Next was Open A. Again two good attempts by Darby and Echo. Both dogs NQed on the Drop on Recall. The drop was on the cold wet grass in the shade. Almost a certainty to not perform. In fact all three dogs, both Open A and Graduate Novice would not drop.

Echo and Helen



Darby and Lisa




Next was Graduate Novice with Donna
Again the Drop on Recall was her undoing. The shade, the cold wet grass was too much.



No video for Beginner Novice but Brego and Donna qualified.
