Kessy got her HGH today!!!

phgsd · 10-15-2011, 06:07 PM

I am super proud of Kessy - we had our HGH trial today. Our judge was Gerd Janke who came in from Germany. He was fabulous - super nice but also very precise with his scoring. He wanted to see correct work but also the temperament of the dog so I was very proud to have had him as my first HGH judge!

Kessy was the second run of the day and she did wonderfully. She ended up with and 88, pronounced in protection, and High in Trial. I am really proud especially because the judge made us earn every point! And Kessy just was super, he liked her structure, her color, and commented about what a self-confident and powerful dog she is in the critique. Yep - that's her!!

Our trainer Geary ran his two beaucerons, but the flock owner does not figure into the placements. He ended up with a 90 and an 87.
Another club member Bill ran his dog Aiko - he came back with an 81 and reserve HIT.
And last but not least, Ellie, another club member's dog was handled by Geary, and came home with a 78. She did a nice job working for someone else while her momma was nearby!

It was a great day...wonderful trial, nice weather, great people, great dogs.
I have lots of pictures...I will try to go through them soon and post them but here are a few of Kessy for now...

And a group shot with the judge and translator...

I will post more info soon!

Congratulations. I know someone who told me I had to see the GSD herd to truly appreciate what a great breed they are.

Woohoo! Congrats. Look at those ribbons.

Congrats! This must have been the weekend of HGH's! White Clover had their trial this weekend too. A woman I train with was going for her's too. I was at a SAR thing all day, so I have no idea how she did. Good hopefully!

Thank you!!
Our trial was originally planned for October 1st, but our original judge had health issues and was unable to make it out. So we had a bit of a hard time finding a new judge on short notice and we had to switch it to this weekend. It worked out well though because the weather was great today!! A little cold for us...but perfect for the dogs and sheep.
