Topgun's There Can Be Only One, RE, HIC (pointed) - Duncan
We are so sad to have just lost this lovely boy to hemangiosarcoma. We will miss him SO much. It is too quiet here now. Good-bye my Duncan Dog. |
Rally Dog!
At long last we found the dog sport Duncan enjoys! Duncan likes Rally Obedience! Regular obedience was boring for him, but in Rally-O, mom can talk the whole time, and that's something he likes - a lot! His first trial was in Bremerton on March 25 & 26, 2006 where he scored a 96 both days for his first two legs. (He was tied for 4th place on Sun., but lost out by .07 seconds, to finish in 5th out of about 30 dogs!) His Rally Novice (RN title) was earned at the Mt. Baker KC trial in Lynden on May 21, 2006 with a score of 98 under judge Judi James. (See the great picture from his RN title on the main Glen Ey page!)

Pointed!
Here is Duncan taking his first AKC point! He is shown by Jennifer Petlig, one of his great friends! Jennifer
shows in Juniors, 4-H, obedience and conformation. She has started taking Duncan with her to shows when I can't go.
She did a lovely job showing him (and grooming him!), and had the honor of putting his first point on at the Hurricane Ridge Show on July 29, 2001, under judge Kenneth Buxton. He went RWD the day before, too!
Thanks also to Jennifer Gerber for helping Jennifer P. when she had conflicts.

Duncan Herding!
On Sat. Aug. 11, 2001, Duncan went to Ewe-topia for his herding instinct test. He passed with flying colors! The tester said he had lots of natural instinct, and that he did really well, especially for a 5 year old, intact male who hasn't done this before! He encouraged us to continue herding. Duncan had a blast, AND his first title!!! HIC (Herding Instinct Certified) He has since gone herding at Ewe-topia two more times, and requalified for his HIC each time. |
Duncan and Andrew at the 1999 ASCA Nationals
We had a wonderful time at the 1999 Nationals! Both boys
were silly, and refused to sit in their individual obedience
classes. But they managed to redeem themselves by placing
1st in BRACE! We camped out in the van for the week of Nationals, and really had fun. (It was at this Nationals that I saw Yogi in person, and decided I wanted a pup from him - who turned out to be our Merlin.)
