MaryAnne and Chance (the aforementioned TNT) went to Myrtle Beach, SC for this one. The duo joined up with Jamie and Archer, who also added a Rally Advanced leg under his belt.
Rally Excellent is off-lead, of course. The dog zig-zags with the handler through at least 15 stations. The handler can give verbal commands but may not pat his or her leg or clap or give non-oral encouragement.
The course will have two jumps (broad jump, high jump, or bar jump), which is not a challenge but a treat for a Welshie, and the dog has to "honor" another dog that has been placed inside the course for that very purpose. The dog must also serve as an honor dog and stay in the down position while another dog runs the course.
Chance is a happy, smart, and biddable dog and MaryAnne has paid her dues with him as well. MaryAnne said that Chance is a more interested in agility and the field than in Rally, but that being as kind-hearted as he is, he knows that MaryAnne likes Rally and he does his best.
Congratulations to our new RE, TNT Chance.
This is my new ribbon.
So what if it is a rainbow?
Me and MaryAnne got this together and it's ours.
