:::I just got home from dog shows today. I show in obedience only. But my Border Collie got the 1st leg of his CDX Fri. with a 2nd place and score of 194.5. He got his 2nd leg today with a 1st place and score of 193. Only 1 more to go! Yippee!

::COngrats! WOW. I have a pointer who has her CDX title. I will not reveal her scores on the grounds that I might have you laughing so hard you fall off your chair. HOWEVER, she WAS #1 in Open for the American Pointer CLub that year... hehehe

:Anyone who truly understands what goes into accomplishing these obedience titles would never laugh at your scores!!! I was just so very proud of My Boy (and still wrapped up in the excitement) that I posed them- and I shouldn't have. Someone should keep track of the hours of training, practice and more practice that is put into these accomplishments - nevermind months and years! There's a woman in my dog club who stopped showing her dogs because I had gotten higher scores than she had. Rubbish! What conts is the relatinship you develop with your dog and what the 2 of you accomplish together. That's it, plain & simple!
:Big congratulations on your dog's CDX!

That's so true. The hours are COUNTLESS. I've been training my CDX bitch for Utility now for about 3 years and we're NEARLY ready.... Training a poitner in obedience can be very difficult as they are "somewhat challenged" in abstract concepts. The nice this is that once they LEARN it, they never forget OR disobey....
