Juliet’s first competition obedience Q!

No Comments Juliet, Obedience, Trial

Mumsy is SO slow I had to do this for her! We took part in the obedience trials yonks ago and she still hadn’t posted anything on that!

Yea wasn’t that back in November last year?

Yes, 19 November 2011 on a Saturday morning to be exact! It was held at a pavilion at Hougang. Mumsy and I entered the Pre-novice trial together.

And you qualified. Yea whatever.

I did! And the judge was Judge Kate McCartney from Ireland! She’s awesome and judged at Crufts Obedience World Cup Competition 2010!

That’s scary. I saw that she uses 2 decimal points when she scores the exercises!

Yea she does. Oh well, I got 89.5/100, but whatever – I Q’d! I’ll try to do better at the next one which is coming up on 4 March 2012!
