Excellent JOB!! I was so nervous doing Rex's BH. I made sure it was taped so I could watch it to see what we need to work. Biggest thing I noticed was I needed to diet LMAO. So do share on the crazy temperment test you had to do. These judges some time make up crazy ones. We had the 13 people group crowding in and out than had to fuss around them 3 times. Think that was our wild one. Floyd Wilson comes up with some scaries you never now what he wants done. I drove my car and he wanted me to scream at the people to get out of the way when I went by. Just to name one. BH temperment test are a hoot to watch I think and nice to know what to expect from some judges.

As for the temperament test, Thibaut had us walk the dogs under a tent, and then a group of people crowded in on us. This was during a total downpour of rain, so everyone was carrying umbrellas, or wearing hooded raingear. It was interesting, and all dogs entered did fine with this. He also had us backtie the dogs, one at a time, and asked us to go out of sight, he would approach the dog and stand nearby. He was carrying an umbrella of course. This part worried me, as Amber and I were "assaulted' by a CGC evaluator with an umbrella during her CGC test earlier this year. However, she just ignored him... Also, a "neutral" dog was walked by. For the traffic portion, a jogger, a biker, and a car were driven by, and he asked that the car driver honk the horn. So it was a pretty thorough exam for temperament. I was proud of Amber, she passed easily, and this was after a 12 hour drive the night before, away from her home field, with strangers in the group, during a monsoon. And yes, we had to do obedience with the gunfire. This apparently is being eliminated from the BH routine after January 1.

Well done!
Geez, wasn't it just yesterday our girls were in the 6-9 puppy class in Vegas?! How time flies.
So, are you going on to her SchH1 now?

Yep, gonna try for a SchH1, however, we only have access to helper work once a week if I'm lucky. A one hour drive one~way to club, on icy roads, is not fun over the winter. Tracking in Idaho sucks right now too So maybe I'll squeak out a 1 sometime in the next 2 years. I'm in no hurry...
