As I made that tough decision to allow Opal to go to a home, I saw an opportunity to have a little fun with her in Rally with a few days to spare!!!
Although I have not been working with my dogs much due to recovering from a concussion and she was not ready to Trial nor was I for that matter,
we did it anyways!!! LOL

Trial # 4 under Judge Mrs.Norma Schaffer. Qualifying Score of 94 timed at 2:20:56 (I had forgotten to count how many times I passed through the center line in the figure eight, so I asked to redo that station which added on 3 points for the repeat of station along with more time. Talk about a handlers error for as when I looked at the video I had completed it correctly the first time but
just got lost!!! LOL )

Canadian Champion Marechal Opal Violet TP (Imp Aus)
I love this little Australian Gem . . .
. . . as she is very full of herself
hence her name
OPAL
as she is as colourful and bright as an one!
She also comes from Australia
** OPAL IS THE TRADITIONAL BIRTHSTONE OF OCTOBER **
Its pearly colour and delicate tints make it a truly exquisite gem.

Group Six Specialty Show
Opal places
Winners Female &
Best of Winners again over an Am.Champion/Canadian Best In Specialty Show winner and places
Best of Breed over a
Best in Show Special bitch
from the 12 to 18 month class under Judge Roberto Del Puerto!!!
I wanted to wear the special scarf Erica gave me from Australia at PCA 2006 when Skyler and Santos showed in Maryland but I didn`t have a outfit to do it justice so I wrapped it around my PCA grooming bag at ringside for good luck!!! Opal and I made the cut in Group and we were placed 5th in line behind the Group 4th placement.
I was so very happy to be where we were!! We were behind some very nice Group placing Specials plus one puppy.
Comments: Judge Roberto Del Puerto said she was a very exquisite girl with beautiful reach and drive! :)
. . . . . she is full of herself and
loves to please as well.

American Championship ...
At this time we are not pursuing
the American Championship as I feel it is too unrealistic these days
regardless of Opals worthiness as she is very
worthy and deserving with lovely body, structure & movement!!!
We want to go and PLAY using
our brains with her enthusiastic
athletic ability!!!
I look forward to starting some obedience with her.
You may view her accomplishments here on Opal's American BLOG

I am looking forward to some Performance ...
. . . . activities with Opal.
Starting at Rally Obedience and then some Agility. Opal is all that and more. Perhaps some Sheep Herding as well.
She has a lot to offer the breed. I may pair her up with Santos once more in the future as I was very pleased with the offspring.
With this successful litter of the first breeding of Opal paired to my silver dog Santos, she became a Top Producer with three Canadian Champions.
