This is part of an email sent by Jetty's dad, Maynard. We are so proud of Jetty's debut we wanted to shout it from the rooftops!
Jetty is from the Vacation litter, CH Dakota's Magic Hell'ucination OS, SDHF x Pawnee's All That 'N' More born in Aug. 2005.
So not only is he handsome, he's also smart!
Today we went to Wilmington for a show "n" go, which means it is not scored and there can be some encouragement in the ring. I had NO idea what to expect, Jetty being such a friendly fella and all.
We entered pre-novice, novice, and open YES, I said OPEN. He did great! His heeling was a little better each time. We could have qualified in OPEN and that is fantastic being his first time ever in a ring with a crowd. I offered a little verbal encouragement, but he did not NQ anything. Retrieve over the high no problem. I put one foot forward for emphasis when giving him my hand signal for drop on recall and he dropped. The inside the ring Novice stays were expected to be OK, but amazingly he held the 3 minute out of sight sit stay and 5 minute out of sight down stay in Open. I am thoroughly pleased.
