YAYA GOT A NEW TITLE AND IT'S HER BEST ONE SO FAR
LP1- Obediencediploma 1
Her third 1st prize in 10 days aswell as Classwinner
She was also 3rd Best Bitch at the Speciality Show in Stäket



LP1 SEUCH FIUCH SEVCH SEV-10 Tarujen Uyaya Kadamo

Yesterday was a fabolous day for me and Yaya and it will go down in history for me! We had our third obediencecompetition in the morning before the Speciality Show in Stäket. It was 7 dogs in our class and I was quite pleased with Yaya. She was one of three that acctually stayed laying down when the rest of the dogs sat up. She also got very nice scores on everything except the healwork... (Never works as it should on our competitions...) I was so nervous and afraid that our total score would put us just below the limit for a 1st prize. Not sure how I did that math in my head because it all ended up with Yaya and me winning the class with 171,5 points! Our third straight first prize from three competitions in 10 days! Now I know what true happiness feels like!
I never in my wildest dreams thought we could finnish this title so fast, so I am walking on clouds and will stay up here for a while!
See her full scores HERE and check out the Top 10 Obediencelist were Yaya currenlty holds the number 3 spot HERE.

Yaya was also shown and ended up 3rd Best Bitch! If I am not mistaken she has been placed in Best Bitch at all shows but two or three this year! Not a bad record!

YAYA'S KICK ASS OBEDIENCE DEBUTE!
2x 1st PRIZE in 2 DAYS and 2 CHANCES!


Yaya and me practising Obedience

Yesterday evening Yaya and I had our first obediencecompetition. I wasn't sure how it would go because I have a cold and it was of course raining... But wit a bit of luck the rain stopped in time for us to step out on the field and the rainbow appeared on the sky! So I made a silent wish in my head for success and it worked!
Yaya did quite well except for the healwork and laying down during heal that she was a bit out of focused and slow in. Otherwise I was very pleased with her! I was guessing a 2nd prize so I was thrilled when they called us up on the 8th place of 19 dogs with 163 points and a 1st prize! Best possible start of our obedience career together!

Tonight we had our second competition! When I entered us a few weeks ago I thought I might as well go all in! So second evening in a row and our second competition. Tonight she had her full attention on me the whole time and was great to compete with! She didn't get that great score for healwork tonight either because her position is to far ahead! (For you who have ever competed with your ridgeback you know that this is not the most common problem we have... our dogs are usually behind us!)
She was slow laying down aswell today other than that everything went great! So with some quick math in my head I guessed for a total score quite similar as yesterday.
So time for the results and sweet "kick-ass-Yaya" that I now call her, got the same score again today, 163 points, her second 1st prize and a 5th place out of 13 dogs!
Check out her complete scores on her Obediencepage. Tonight we are celebrating with meatballs! Yaya is a ONE OF A KIND dog, no doubts about it!

THE BEATLES HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!

Blue, Yellow, Green, Pink, Orange, Black and Red

The B-litter has turned 8 weeks old and all but one has now moved to their new home. Mr Yellow is staying an extra week before he moves to his new family. All the puppies seems to have done very well their first day at home settling in with their new families, other dogs and cats. I am so proud of them all and also very grateful for all the updates I am getting from their owners on their progress!
Makes me feel better about giving them up! It is amazing how attached you get to these little once after living with them for two months!
On Saturday we made our last attempt on stacking them. Unfortunately it was a cold and rainy day which the puppies were not huge fans of so the results are based on that...
Check out the individual pictures HERE.

Foodtime in the garden

The puppies and I are enjoying our days now outdoors in my parents garden. It is great for the puppies with all the new sounds and new experiences. And I am loving to spend a little time in the sun and so does the big dogs so we are all happy!
The big dogs and I take two good walks a day, one in the morning and one in the evening when it is cooler outside. Moa comes along and it is nice to see her out moving again even though she still is very skinny and has lost a lot of muscles.
But she will be back in shape eventually!
