Here she is - looking more than a little pleased with herself - at the Whidbey Island show in Monroe where she finished her Advanced B Rally title with such panache....a first place win and a perfect score of 100 to boot! On to Excellent, we say!
A wonderful job -- here we are at the Lynden show in Nov 2008-- Ella earned two Rally Advanced legs, and placed second!!! on the Sunday --- Nice job little girl! Your momma loves you! And she really looks like her Auntie Alley in this shot, at least to me! (and that's a compliment, as Auntie Alley is an incredible working gal!)
Little Miss earning her Rally Novice title at the Lynden show in November 2007
Ella with her loot -- she won at a correction match, taking first place in Rally Novice and winning HIT (yes, they gave a HIT for this Rally match :-)) That's my girl!
such a serious little face...she's all business about her work, ya know!
Of course Miss E had to 'sample' her ribbon...just to make sure it tastes OK!
and of course her momma is very proud of this little monkey....and she makes me grin every single day! Little smarty pants that she is!
Ella Carting... earning her Carting Started title at the Enumclaw Regional Specialty in August 2007....
doing a 360...as part of the course!
in ARC carting - the dog needs to pull the cart with a 40lb weight -- a BIG challenge for Miss Ella was getting past the fact that the 'weight' was 40lbs of dog food....
heading over the 'bridge' good job Ella!!!! She was totally awesome, and was the youngest dog to qualify for her CS, at 17 months old!
Good girl Ella - working on her down stay while attached to her cart!
and here's a couple of shots of J&E with their loot from the Enumclaw Specialty
and my personal favorite...
All the ribbons we took home from the Regional Specialty in Enumclaw--- Ella took home 3 of these babies herself!
And a close up of Ella's loot from the Carting Trial and the Rally Trial ....a qualifiying ribbon in Carting Started and a qualifying ribbon AND a second placement in Rally Novice....Miss E is on her way!!!
She looks wonderful in her working gear-- so happy and confident in her harness and hooked up to her cart
She made me so very happy in the breed ring when she took BOB Puppy at one of the very first shows she ever went to with her momma at the end of the leash...I know, it's a silly grin - but I couldn't help myself - she was adorable!
