September 2024

In addition to the state championship tournaments – LVM and NRW-ROC
there is also the next higher category, the Federal Champion Test and D-ROC.
We had qualified for both and were there too.
At the D-ROC we could say, you have qualified, that is an achievement.
At the BSP we achieved our dream goal with an excellent score of 97 points.
The D-ROC was in Lippstadt, 60 starters started in each class (except FCI class).
It was judged in three rings and we were the second to last starter in three groups.
We had been at the field since 8 a.m. and didn’t get our turn until 3.30 p.m. and that was in pure sunshine.
Jade, at the age of 10, has qualified for the 2024 Federal Champion Test in Rally Obedience.
We got a starting place together with Kristin and Smilla, as well as Christiane and Sally.
This time the qualification was very high, 298 points out of a possible 300 was a requirement.
Jade had a guaranteed starting place with 5 x 100 points from previous tournaments.
Taking part is everything. Jade brought home a wonderful 97 points (excellent).
I am proud of our senior.
This is Jade’s second to last tournament.
She will end her tournament career at the end of the year
and will still work on one or two sequences on our dog training ground.

Our great senior alone

I would like to show her run here.
She always has a smile before the start,
that is her preparation.
This time on the artificial turf, it took significantly longer than usual.
