Apprentice Water Dog!!!!!

I can't believe it has been a year since I posted. We've been doing lots of water work - this summer we signed up for practice slots with the PWDCNC at Shadow cliffs regional park. It was fun to have a group of people (and a boat) to work with - and it paid off! Mark and Dessie got their Apprentice Water Dog title at the PWDCNC water trials on Saturday, July 31, 2010.

They were smooth and fast - and made it look easy! Mark is very happy not to have to do that swim again! he says when we get another dog I have to do the swimming ;-)

Videos aren't great - I was trying to stay out of the way. They are in two parts.

First - Underwater retrieve, dummy retrieve, and carry dummy/board boat/call from shore.



Then - Line retrieve & 2 minute swim.



It was so fun - and Dessie looks great with a yellow ribbon.
