Sascha (Oakridge Panache) not only got a pass in her first ever obedience trial, but gained 1st place in the CCD ring, gaining 94/100 points.
She worked quite well in the heel work, recall and stand for examination, but it was during the stays that she completely amazed me. The dog located on one side of her got up and moved off, and the large German Shepherd next to her on the other side moved off in the sit stay and rolled around upside-down on his back in the down stay, before crawling off towards his handler.
Whilst this seemed to concern her a little, Sascha did not move at all in either of her stays.
I was very pleasantly surprised with her performance, especially given that she's never been in an obedience class in her life before!
