June 07 - Danesford Obedience Show
Dora worked very well was placed
4th in beginners. Once again we just missed out on a higher place,
maybe even that elusive first win. This time I made the mistake. When
doing heelwork I hadn't noticed that there was a cord hanging down on
my jacket which flapped in Dora's face. Everytime it flapped she
understandably went wide.She did the stays perfectly today.
