Great day for Labs at the Obedience Trial today!
Showed Chloe at an Obedience trial in Verona, NJ today. Large entry - 37 dogs, including some of the top dogs in the country. Open was good, but not special (196, no placement) but in Utility she gave me a beautiful class, earning an outstanding 198.5. She ended up 3rd having narrowly lost a run-off to Linda Brennan and Heart, who is a National Championship winner for second. First place was Petra Ford with her dog Zeal - she has won the NOC twice with his father. Very exalted company to be in and all 3 of them are black labs! :-)
