Instinct Test - I destroyed as for what ever reason I somehow went into Novice Class mode trying to get her away
from the "people" who she thinks are her "Fans" I called her to the tunnel, a climb on top of the bales searching for the rat thinking
I only have a minute how can I ... OH NO this is Instinct and there is the tube cradle ... and of course one minute was up!
Trials 1 & 2
We didn't succeed for we either ran out of time or I called the wrong tube as Rat! Oh well it was a great weekend having fun with my poodle pack, learning how to hopefully read their instincts, meeting new people and some great dogs! A road trip much enjoyed!
Sparkle did amazing for a diva!

Trial 2
After a delicious Potluck Lunch it was Trial 2 which I thought well we will give Sparkle a try again! WOW little miss wag a lot turned into a
rat hunter and had her nose driven into that little clump of hay on top of the bale so I called RAT! That indeed it was! I let out a holler that I could not help LOL!!! We earned a Q towards her three required for Rat Novice ... and ... that's not all as she took 2nd in her class of large breed dogs!!! We are allowed 2 minutes and she sniffed it out in 0:35:38 seconds! WOWZA Sparkle!!!

Instinct Test, Trial 1
With one practice run in two weeks prior, I decided it was time to just do it!
Five Standard Poodles BHA Registered and entered, it was a Road Trip to Hillsboro, Oregon the day before the Trials today.
Sparkle tried out in the Rat Instinct Test first followed by the Novice Class where in Trial 1 she only wanted to visit with everyone in the ring! UGH Sparkle your killing me! When I got her attention to come look to where I was pointing she would promptly lay down in the little pile of hay which may or may not have had the Rat Tube there! LOL I was thinking OMG whats the point this is going nowhere! So needless to say we did not qualify! We got a NQ for Not Quite ;)
Where's that rat!!!

Van loaded up with Santos, Sparkle, Shimmer and Kareem off we head for Monroe, Washington

Sparkle placed 4th in Rally Intermediate with a Qualifying Score of 95. Pretty pleased with my 12 year old little waggle butt girl
getting her first leg of three towards her AKC Rally Intermediate Title!

Video of Sparkle wagging her tail around the Rally Course!
Shimmer and Kareem then had their eyes check by the specialist at the Eye Clinic held by the Club. All good!

For the afternoon Sparkle remained her sweet happy self (when isn't she) still making me proud of her Qualifying Score of 93.

We even had snow coming down outside throughout the day.
Thankfully this venue was nice and toasty warm with the Gold Buckle Expresso

Trial #1 Judge Carolyn Wray Rally Novice B Sparkle at 12 years old (video)
See how happy Sparkles is as she goes around the Rally Course (click onto this video link above!)
Sparkle did pretty darn good despite her handler (me)! LOL. I had a handler error on the Figure 8 by losing count
how many times I went through causing us a 10 point deduction giving us a still Qualifying Score of 87.
You should only pass through the center of the Figure 8 three times.
Otherwise she would have accomplished a 97 out of 100 putting us third in her Class (results). ;)

Rally Novice A
I think at her age of 11-1/2 years old Sparkle was feeling a little tired today as was I myself.
It had been very cold in the arena yesterday despite the fact I did have her in a beautifully designed fleece lined winter coat by
Chilly Dogs made in Canada along with extra fluffy blankets in her crate when she wasn't curled up in either mine or Terri's lap LOL.
Today for Trial #3 under Judge Marion Postgate we did not do as well whether it was more myself especially on one station a
big time handler error and or perhaps as well Sparkle was a little tired ... anyhooo we did lose 10 points on the handler error tieing
for a second place by 34 seconds with a qualifying score of 85.
Three Q's under two Judges = an RN - Rally Novice Title.
Sparkle is now MBISS BBE Am.Can.Ch.Violet Sparkle Of My Eye RN CGN HIT

During lunch break Sparkle and I achieved her Canine Good Neighbour Title!
Just another fun achievement showing good temperament with good socializing and behaviour.
We all want a good Poodle to live with!
The afternoon Trial #4 under Marion Postgate with both of us doing better all around we went on to accomplish another
HIC - High In Class with a score of 94 out of 100.
All in all I have to be and am most pleased with my little Sparkle!!!

Thank you to TNT Training Center for the lovely prize for the HQS student for Sparkle and I!
Sparkle and I will have fun keeping tug ball away from the others!

Rally Novice A
I decided it was time for Sparkle to do something else rather than be cute and happy! Let's do Rally!
So I figured at 11-1/2 years it was her time to come out and shine again.
We were able to squeeze in one class of training at TNT along with two drop in classes with a friend before the Trial. Yes not anywhere near enough time to train before a show but Sparkles mom Shiraz is now 15 years, 7-1/2 months old and is requiring a little more of my time. I really like to support the Obedience Trails on their own when they are not held the same weekend of the Conformation Shows.
It supports a different group of people that I thoroughly enjoy. :)
So off we went to have some fun. Trial #1 we scored 91 out of 100 being second in our class.
Not bad for our first Q which is Qualifying Score.
Trial #2 with a better score of 95 out of 100 giving us a High In Class. Two Q's with one more to go.
Thank you Judge Bruce Fraser!
Another extra thank you to TNT Training Center for the lovely prize for the HQS student for Sparkle and I two days in a row!
Sparkle and I will enjoy the "RULES" pillowcases while we sleep LOL :)

Sparkle doing Rally!
This was a very cold building we happened to be in LOL
Please keep in mind Sparkle is 11-1/2 years old and we have only done one training class with two rally dropins doing the courses ;)
This is why we are doing a little extra signals is due to the lack of training however I decided it would be fun for us to go and play and that she did!!!
