Bulldogs in Rally

[paw7004]

Tebow has retired from conformation showing at present and we are entering the world of Rally. He got his 2nd green ribbon, 2 legs out of 3 met for Rally Novice title. One more to go. We're new at this and Tebow still suffers from anxiety when in show environments. (He witnessed a dog fight several months ago and it left a bad memory for him.) Yet he's getting better. Fortunately there are some really good instructors around my area and their classes are a godsend. My boys won't be couch potatoes. They have skills and talents yet to be discovered.
So I congratulate my boy GCH CH Vaughan's Cruz CGCA STR TKI ATT VHMA FITS (lovingly called "Tebow")

Yay Tebow Wonderful news!

You’re so right, EB aren’t lazy like people think. They need to move or they do become lazy and their joints will start seizing at a young age.

Good on you to keep your pooches busy

Can I ask what conformation and rally is please. I’ve never heard of them is it a British, American or nationwide thing? I love to see all bull breeds included in various things too often they are considered none pedigree or whatever they call it such as at crufts.

Conformation shows in the UK would be like Crufts (though it's the creme de la creme of shows). The purebred dogs are judged on how they meet their breed standards. Rally is an obedience-type event and in the US, for mixed breed dogs (All-American dogs). There are signs set up on a course where the dog and handler have to do turns, jumps, sits and downs and other things. Faults like a tight leash or improperly performing the task will deduct points. In the US, if you score 70 or above, you "qualify". With 3 'quals', your dog earns the AKC Rally Novice title. From there, you move up to more difficult levels and without a leash.
