This menace had her first birthday recently and has grown into everything you want to see in a Kelpie. She works the geese every day, has been on sheep a few times with impressive style, and is well on track to be a superstar in competition obedience. She’s social, friendly, confident, driven and wild, but with an excellent off switch. Absolutely perfect.
We’ve been having such fun in the trials this spring! Lyric just loves Utility and we’re finally getting pretty consistent with the Qs. The best part is she’s obviously having an absolute blast out there.
The UDX title requires qualifying in both Utility (UD) and Open (CDX) at the same trial to get a leg, and 10 legs are required to get the title. It’s a lot, and we failed a whole lot last year. We started the show year in March with 3 legs and she just blasted through the remaining 7 with absolute joy. Along the way we picked up some High in Trial and High Combined ribbons, and all of the required 1sts for our OTCH.
When we got to the club today, our wonderful friends had a celebration for us! There were cupcakes too, by Lyric ate them before I thought to get a photo.
I could not be more proud of my very good dog.
