 ----

Jenny & Rex got their CD title in Nov 08. Congratulations!

At the Working Dog Show and Obedience Trial held on Nov 1 and 2 at Lancefield, both Gayle & K'Cee and Rosalie & Ithor got Excellent Medallions in the show. Yay!

Joss & Ella got a pass and came second in the ring at the Obedience Trial held at KCC Park on Oct 4. This is Joss & Ella's second pass in CCD.  One more to go! Well done!

At the Melbourne Royal Show Dearne & Barney got their CDX title! Grubby got second place in the Open Bitch Class and K'Cee came fourth in the Open Dog Class.

 

What a smashing team!

Darryl & Jess took out the highest scores back to back (194 & 197 out of the possible 200) at Geelong. A few weeks later Darryl & Jess got their Novice at Moorabbin ODC's Trial with another 190+ score and then went to the Royal Show, at only their fourth trial to win the Novice Bitch class with 191 points.

To have achieved their title in three straight trials all with "Excellent" grade scores is a remarkable achievement. The fairy tale finished with the opportunity to be in the runoff for Best in Trial at the Royal Show. While Darryl & Jess did not win on the day, Malvern is very proud of the fact that they were there in the run-off for Best in Trial.

 

...and here is our new Tracking Champion

Early on the morning of Sat June 28 2008 Ken Mackay & Glenraco Sargeant Barko (Barky) set out from Ballarat to Hickinbotham Winery, Dromana to find the elusive "Tracking Champion" title.

The Working Dog Club was running this trial. 

The tracking champion has a "blind start". This means that Ken & Barky were given the first clue (otherwise known as an article) and then given the command "your start is somewhere between those poles". It was tricky but Ken & Barky were confident all the way. And indeed when they found that sneaky tracklayer there were cheers, hugs and pats.

Congratulations to Joss & Ella on achieving the Endurance Trial Title 

 In order to avoid having the title of "pooey" again, Joss decided to enter Ella for the 20K Endurance Trial held at Cherry Lake, Altona on 21 Jun 2008. A series of fitness preparation is required to build up Ella's endurance before the trial. These included swimming, learning to run beside the bike, familiarising with different road conditions. After months of hard work and committment, Jos & Ella passed and achieved her ET title.

Ch. Glenraco Dreamweaver A Z H-neg ET CD
Medallion, Walter Reimann Memorial Trophy, Best Dual Performance in Show & Trial

Wow! Rosalie & Ithor gained an Excellent Medallion and second place in the ring at the GSDCV 81st Championship Show and Restricted Obedience Trial held at KCC Park on 10-11 May 2008. As this was his third pass in Novice, he now qualifies for the title CD. In the Open Dog Show the following day, he was placed seventh in the Show Ring and was awarded an Excellent Medallion. Of the three dogs that gained a qualifying score in the Obedience and also presented in the Show Ring, Ithor gained the highest placing and was therefore awarded the "Walter Reimann Memorial Trophy" and a sash for Best Dual Performance in Show and Trial! This is the second time Ithor has won the Best Dual Performance at a GSDCV Championship Show. Congratulations!

 

The GSDCV Nationals 2008

The dogs who competed are L to R: K'Cee, Grian, Barney, Ella, Ithor, Ditt (Mascot) and Barky. Gayle is course the handler, breeder of all GSDs shown except for Ditt and when Ken gets his way...the groomer of all! Grian went in Open Bitch and was awarded a Very Good. K'Cee and Ithor both obtained Excellent gradings in the Open Dog class.

Read all about their trip here...we heard that it was a hoot!
