At long last - a new agility title for Harry!!!!

I truly thought it would never happen but after never qualifying over a twenty-one month period (yes, nearly two years :oops: ) in Open Standard he qualified the necessary three times in the last six weeks to earn his title. :twitch:

:excited: :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited:

he is now officially........

Show Me's Harrington CDX RAE OA NAJ OF THD


I have been working very hard to teach him that bars matter - not an easy task after he has been allowed to drop bars for the last four years and still get the joy of running. But he has been such a trooper through this whole journey about giving his best effort even though I keep changing the criteria on him. We should by rights both have quit by now but we have hung in there together (dogs can give up too). So that makes this title all the more valuable to me.

I am proud of my Wild Wooly.

Sometimes the smart ones are the hardest ones to train because they have a thought process & have already figured out a "better" way to do things! Been there done that with my Melody! But oh when it all comes together.....how sweet it is! :cheer: Judi, you have to be really feeling like you are riding on cloud 9 right now!.
Hooray for Harry! Congratulations! That boy is beyond impressive -- as are you. :hearts:

HOORAY for TEAM Judy & Harry!!!
You should be very proud of your efforts.
Sometimes the more difficult they are to attain, the more
the titles mean in the end.

Sounds like you are both a testament to hard work, dedication
and persistence, as well as TALENT.

We're always cheering you on from you here in California, whether you
know it or not. We KNEW you would do it. You are an inspiration
to us (all). I WILL get to see you and Harry running on an
agility course one day.

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm not sure about the last two sets of
initials indicating titles after Harry's name. I am going to guess that
"THD" stands for Therapy Dog. Is that right? What does the "OF"
stand for? And for those who are interested, the CDX (obedience)
and RAE (rally) titles are both upper level titles, not easy to attain,
and also put Judy & Harry into quite the upper stratosphere as far
as any breed of dog competing in performance, not just a rare achievement
for an OES!!!

(I can't figure out how to add the "smiley" icons or there would be a LOT
of them in this message!)

BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH!

Linda Zimmerman & Hudson, Chloe & Kristy
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Woo Hoo!!! :banana: :banana:

Congrats to Harry and Judi :high5: :high5:
Go Harry! :banana: :clappurple:
For Linda Z - yes, that is the new AKC therapy dog title. The OF is his agility Open FAST title. :D :D

I already knew about the new OA...but more congrats are NEVER a waste...;)

Those who improve and persevere WILL succeed!!

Congrats! I know both of you worked hard!
