Today we’ve got some odds and ends from our Faribault weekend. As we mentioned on Tuesday, there was some scent work and then five other things to compete in for titles. The first new thing we tried was ATT, AKC Temperament Test. I gave it a try first and passed my first run and then passed my second run with the other judge, giving me my ATT Title! Olivia failed her first test and then decided not to continue.
The Temperament Test is not easy. It too is a bit like a CGC Test but more difficult with scary obstacles. Mom is super proud of me being so brave and doing things out of my comfort zone. As you can see from the list above, I had to go through a lot of different challenges. This is a photo of one of my two tests. After the weekend, I have two new titles after my fancy name!
Olivia signed up for some Master Container trials to practice for her National in a couple weeks. Master Containers is twenty containers with an unknown number of one to three hides and four minutes to find the hides. The extra trick is there are three distractors which can be food, toys, sounds or people. She aced all three searches with two fourth places and one first place.
There always seems to be something that didn’t go well and that was failing our main goal of the weekend. I needed two Q’s in Detective to earn my title but in the end I only got one Q. I worked super hard with very challenging puzzles and only passed one search, in the others I missed one hide in each. It is super disappointing but I will try again. I’m still very young for competing at the levels I do. All these things go into my mental file and will help me out down the road. On to the next thing. Olivia are thankful for all the sports opportunities we have and when we do well, it is extra fun.
