Rally trial results

Well, out of 6 runs today (2 trials in one day, love it) we came back with 6 Q's, and a finished title.
Ariel, Pam Brown's tri rough collie girl, got her RA today, with a 4th on one run. Joy (CH. Deep River's Comfort and Joy HRDIIIs RLFIIIs HXAds RN), owned by Kathy Moll ( and Frost's littersister) got 2 legs towards her RA, with 2 third places, and Oliver, who I couldn't lay a hand on 6 mo ago, got a 96 and an 85 on his very first two attempts in the ring. His second run there was a GSD or some other big bouncy dog not doing what his handler wanted in the ring adjoining ours, and Oliver went on high alert. I managed to get him back, but it just goes to show, we need more proofing for high energy dogs around us. Oliver was happy, working great, confident and calm at the show site, even though it was 6 times the number of people and dogs he's been around, different footing surface, and actually in the ring.
