Return to AKC

It's been ages and ages since Rumble and I did an AKC show. We did a lot of USDAA last summer and into the fall. I signed up for an AKC show in Salem when penichops was here, but it was hotter than a F*(&%$ so we didn't go. Agility in 107 temps just isn't our cup o' tea ( Read more... )

You and Rumble are looking great together. He looks happy . The 16 inch height looks perfect for him.

Jump heights are a funny thing. So much goes into what is "comfortable" for any dog. I jumped Razor higher than his measured height for quite a few years as 22 was too low for him and he just skimmed and couldn't collect (which never really got solved). For Rumble, the 20 AKC is totally do-able. But he feels like he's "working" to do them (especially triples) so P16 really was the best for both of us.

Shasta was like that. Jumped her at 26 because it made her think. I’m working out Colt’s jump height. He looks great at 22” but he will measure to 24”. We haven’t done much at 24 yet but it remains to be seen even if we will ever compete.

You guys look like you were having a great time! I've always thought 16" was a great height for Rumble.

It fits him - like an old pair of sweat pants. ;)

He's sort of a perma-puppy. People always think he's a young dog. He's fun to play w/ too. :)

There's a gal named Mary who has a new merle shelty and he and Rums have almost the EXACT same coat. Not sure if that's a good thing or not! LOL
