Competition Dogs Thread

[black_cat]

Here is a thread for all those who compete with their dogs! Any sort of titling counts.
I'll go first.
I am training my golden retriever, Finn (AKC Pond's Fast Fish TKN), for Rally and Scentwork (maybe some obedience down the road), and then also 'pet' titles in the Canine Good Citizen and trick dog program. He currently has his Trick Dog Novice (TKN) title and we're working on his TKI (Trick Dog Intermediate), competitive heeling, and scent work training.

Here is Finn doing 'sit pretty' which is one of our tricks for his TKI.

I also show dogs in conformation shows (Finn is nowhere near show quality, so not for him). I currently show a corgi named Birki (AKC Reinwood Pause for a Breeze) in breed competition and junior showmanship. Here is da boi:

This is him at our first show. We got second place in a class of 5 open dogs. Not too bad!

I'm super excited that I got asked to show one of my favorite breeds, the clumber spaniel. I'll be showing a clumber spaniel girl in (I believe) 12-18 month bitches. She loves showing so much and I think (with my knowledge of the clumber standard) that she's pretty good.


I'd love to hear about anyone else's competition dogs!

(Sorry, I don't do any of this. Maybe in the future I might, but not with my current dog. Just, totally random, @black_cat. I thought Finn was your ONLY dog, or am I missing something. )

Deacon (AKC Beacon Of Light) Canine partners registered, is a trick dog advanced. I've also been working on rally (online titles, whoo)

Truman (AKC pending), hopeful to have a future in FCAT, Disc, Agility, and rally. He will be my first true competition dog.

She doesn't own the corgi. You can handle other peoples dogs. I handle my friends golden in conformation and rally.

I love corgis! Yours looks adorable!

Oh, ok. I was starting to think she had a bunch of dogs.

BC, I'm handling my friends Border collie in a disc comp this Friday

Because my dog isn't suited for competition, I borrow other peoples dogs quite often.

BC does the same, since her dog isn't show quality. She borrows other peoples dogs.

Oh whoops! Birki isn't mine, and neither is the clumber.

@sourland you run beagles in field trials, right?

I also seem to recall that @Overo Mare was involved in dogs?
