Jazz earned her Rally Excellent title today at the Westmoreland County Obedience Training Club trial!! 
Not only did Jazz earn her title today, but she did it with a first placement. All three of her Excellent legs were first place runs, so I'm really proud of my little brown girl. She did a nice job even though we once again had a very difficult honor (the dog running the course thought that perhaps he ought to come and check Jazz out), but Jazz held her stay.
There was a photographer at the trial who took pictures of Jazz with her title ribbon, so I'll have to share those pics when I get them. In the meantime, thanks to my friend Mellissa for snapping these for me to post.
Jazz really seems to enjoy Rally, so we'll probably continue on for our RAE. That requires that the dog and handler qualify in both Excellent and Advanced on the same day and you need 10 legs to earn the RAE title. It's a big investment of time and money, but I really enjoy being out there with Jazz, and I think she likes it, too. I'm also hoping to start Tess in Rally in the fall and eventually want to do Rally Pairs with both Tess and Jazz, so that should be an adventure!
WOW! How many ways can I say how proud you two make me? Way to go Lisa and Jazz. You two are awesome! Congratulations on one more title.

Can't wait to see the photos.
Lisa...you are every breeders dream as a puppy owner! I have to tell you how much fun it is following Jazz's career. I couldn't be prouder of my double grand-dog Jazz. Thanks!
