En vill ide ble fremsatt og med motto - den som gir seg er en dritt- ble Glen meldt på sitt første Rally stevne i Skien 27/8.

Med minimalt med trening var det ikke tatt for gitt at dette skulle gå veien. 

Men Glen er god som gull han, og han lot seg villig føre gjennom banen av Kathrine.

Det ble en 1 premie og nr 5 i klassen av 21 stk på gutten i sin debut.

Dermed er første nappet til mellomtittel i boks :-)

Once again Glen shows us that he is made of something special.

Never to have been trained in Rally Obedience he and Kathrine enterd the ring and he just kicked it right in!

First price and number 5 in his class out of 21 strating dogs!!

Desverre viste ultralyden ingen valper hos Deena og dermed blir det ingen vårvalper hos oss i år.

Men vi svelger skuffelsen og legger nye planer.
