TDAA Results


On December 5th, Cheryl Geer and her two boys, Felix and Jackson attended Teacup Agility Trials with some very good results!

They came home with lots of Q's but no first places. Jackson qualified in all 4 of his runs and got two 2nd places in Games and two 3rd places in Standard. Jackson ran fast though and was very happy. He kept on barking/talking to people he didn't know. I do believe he was introducing himself. :) With all of those Q's, he is now only 1 Q away from finishing his Master Games title--TMAG.

Felix ran really well too and did everything I asked him to do. He qualified in both of his Standard runs and in one of his Games runs. In the other Games run, he missed qualifying by 1 jump/2 points. He was just one jump too slow to make enough points in the allotted time. Felix is now also very close to finishing a title. If he qualifies in both of his Standard runs again tomorrow, he will have his Master Standard title--TAM.

All in all, it was a very good day! Seven out of 8 Q's on Saturday-very good!!


On December 6th, they had another very good day with two new titles! Jackson went 3 for 3 runs and earned his TMAG title. He got 2nd place for all three runs. TMAG title for Jackson and he now has 7 legs towards his TAM. He was a very good boy and put in some of his fastest times ever in TDAA.

Felix had a terrific day also succeeding 3 for 3 today too and earned his TAM title. Way to go! A successful weekend at the TDAA trials, they now are formally Loteki Civil Liberties TSAD TMAG (Jackson) and Loteki Total Windfall TAM TG3 (Felix) in TDAA.

Obedience News

Jeannine Rash (PA) wrote that Jeffrey (OTCh CH Loteki Surprise Party UDX) went HIT at the Dauphin Dog Training trial on November 14th from the Utility B class. He won 20 OTCH points and 16 towards his Obedience Master title putting him at 168 for a total of 200 for this new title.
Nicholas (Loteki Ima Firecracker) won a 2nd place in Open B with a 198. He had a first try at his Utility title, but ran out to the articles so quickly he hit the correct article with his feet. It was a great run and I'm sure he will have this title very quickly.
Mary Gail Holcombe (MS) wrote that Rascal (Loteki Just A Gentleman CDX) had a 4th place in Open B in Ruston, LA. Mary Gail & Rascal are getting ready for Utility A.

Halloween fun

Halloween is a fun holiday. These are a some of the photos memories from this past October 31st! Enjoy!

Judith Klotz and Rusty dressed up as Hermione and Dumbledore. Aren't they cute?


Tracy Hancock and Jillie celebrated at a Howl-loween party. They were Peter Pan and Tinkerbelle, check out the link to their 5 seconds of fame on a local TV channel in Rochester. http://www.13wham.com/mediacenter/local.aspx?videoid=209961@wokr.dayport.com



Trinity, Danielle and Adam went trick or treating. Aren't their costumes great? Who would guess that was Adam????


Sophia dressed as a unicorn went trick or treating with her dad, Clay, to a few of their neighbors. She had a good time looking at all the kids that came trick or treating to the house. Not sure she really understood what was going on, but she sure looks cute in her costume! Sure does look like her mommy, doesn't she?

Obedience news from Rascal & Felix

Mary Gail Holcombe (MS) wrote that Rascal and she attended an obedience trial October 24th & 25th close to home. Rascal qualified in Open B on Saturday. Sunday did not have quite the same results but they did Wild Card Utility both days and placed first! Rascal did not do his sit signal Saturday, but Sunday he did all his signals (that has been our trouble spot - not in training, only in shows) and all the rest of the exercises very nicely. Mary Gail believes that Utility is beginning to come together!!

Cheryl Geer (TN) wrote that she and her 'boys' attended the Louisville rally/obedience trial (October 24 & 25). Felix qualified in both Excellent B and Advanced B to earn his 6th RAE leg. Four more to go! Considering training has been very minimal, he hasn't shown in Rally since May at the National, Felix, once again, is amazingly reliable.
GOOD BOY - FELIX!!

A weekend with the family

After getting through yet another bout of pneunomia, (now I have the 5 year vaccination!) the 2nd week in October, it was great to have Danielle and the kids came over to spend the weekend. We had a wonderful weekend hanging out together. We grilled hamburgers on Friday night. Saturday, we had a great family breakfast of homemade ham, egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches.

Adam and Trinity played outside. The dogs were thrilled to see them! They helped me with outside work, while I did some errands, upon returning, we went to Stephanie and Clay's house and hung out for the rest of the morning and afternoon. Clay took Adam and Trinity to the park for a couple hours while Sophia was taking her nap. They also took Lucy, everyone had a great time. We had a great lunch, and then had pizza altogether for supper. It was so nice!

Sunday we had another breakfast of homemade egg sandwiches, did some work, and then everyone went to the pumpkin farm! The kids crawled on the hay bales, we walked throught he corn maze, and everyone picked out pumpkins to take home! We had a great time!
