I just could not be prouder of my little man!!! His first dog show at a year and a half old, and he won the blue! I showed him in an advanced obedience course called Rally-o, where dog and handler go through an obstacle course with approximately twenty obedience signs to follow. We got a ribbon for a qualifying score in the first round, and a blue ribbon for a higher qualifying score in the second round. As many know, Ziggy was a rescue from a pit-bull shelter. Many of the dogs there endured obstacles of their own before they found shelter, and many are deserving of a blue ribbon in their own right. Ziggys ribbon now hangs at Animal Farm Foundation, with the dogs still waiting for their forver homes. Way to go, Ziggy!!!!!!!!
Well done to you both, there is nothing more worthwhile than rehoming an animal, I've got quite a few, chickens, rabbits, a dog, guinea pigs etc and when they perform well for you and give you all their love, it's definitely worth it all.
ReplyDeleteWell you know have of it is genetics and the other half is the training and ownership. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteHaving a rescued dog (Zoe) ourselves, I have a high level of respect or what you do. BTW, the portrait at the top of you blog is awesome!
