American/Canadian CH Sonrisas George R Us RA AgXJ AgX CGN

So what do those initials mean besides hours and hours of training? The CH in front of his name means he's a conformation champion in both the U.S. and Canada and he did this by 8 months of age. The RA mean he has a Rally Advanced title and is ready to compete at the excellent level. He is ready, I just haven't had the time to compete him. The AgXJ and AgX means he is competing at the masters level in agility and last weekend showed he's ready for it. He had an average run time of 3.6 yards per second and topped off at 4.3 yards per second in his last run of the weekend down in Erie Pennsylvania where he has very similar titles to his Canadian ones. This dog just loves to be with people and interact with them. To say that I am thrilled with George is simply not enough.

Needless to say, at 73 I can't run 4 yards/second so Liz Rowe (below with George) runs him for me. I am so grateful that she was willing to spend the time to win George over and now he has two moms and for a dog as loving as George that's good news.

Toonie came first and then Penny. Here's Penny with Willard.

Sonrisas Allegro Giocoso BN RE THDA CGC

For those who don't know, the THDA is an advanced therapy title for AKC dogs. It takes a great deal of time and dedication by the owner and a great temperament on the part of the dog, to earn even the first level of this therapy tile.

If I"m ever in need, I know I would love to have a visit from Allie. Thank you, Jan Naigus, for being a phenominal owner and soon to be a Havanese Breeder, as well as a new member of HCA. With all your experience with dogs, running trials and a host of other things you do for dogs, I know you'll be a wonderful asset.

Sonrisas Bubba O'Riley CGN, CD, RN, Ag NJ, AgN - Riley

And like so many fathers, George has been outdone by his son:

CKC Agility Intermediate Jumpers Title
CKC Agility Intermediate Standard Title
CGN, CD, RN, Ag NJ, AgN
All before his 3rd Birthday

Thanks to his owner as always - Joan Reid

Agility this weekend

George earned two intermediate standard qualifiers with first place in both and an Excellent level Jumpers with weaves and another first place. Not as fast with the heat and humidity and a different handler, our instructor, Liz Rowe but he got the job done. As he gets to know Liz better he'll get faster and faster.
