Brags from the February 2010 Newsletter
Lynn
Uram tells us that...At the Olean Kennel Club's agility
trial on February 5th & 6th in Edinboro, PA, Zelda earned her 7th MX leg,
her 6th QQ, and 20 MACH points. At the same trial, Geraldo and I shaved
another 10 points off the points he needs for his MACH. We just need 15
additional points for his MACH, and I can't wait to take that victory lap
with my baby boy!!
My blue merle girl- Annika- has completed her Therapy dog observations and
now has her therapy dog certification through Therapy Dogs Incorporated. She
has her CGC and TDInc. She is doing very well and loves it. I'm so proud of
her. She is busy now doing visits, obedience, Rally and agility.

Brags from the January 2010 Newsletter
Lynn Uram tells us that...After five weeks off from trialing and training classes, I was expecting our first agility trial of 2010 to be a free for all. Geraldo and Zelda were raring to go, and we had a fantastic weekend both in and out of the agility ring at the Erie Kennel Club's trial in snowy Edinboro, PA. Zelda earned 2 QQ's, 2 MX legs, and 65 MACH points this weekend. She was fast and focused on every run, and she Q'ed on five of her six runs. My Baby Girl now has 4 QQ's and 200 MACH points. Geraldo earned 28 MACH points, one QQ, his second Excellent Fast leg and his first ever Triple Q at that trial!! He just needs 59 more points for his MACH. <G>
AND...At the BCSA agility trial in Edinboro, PA on January 15-17, Geraldo and Zelda had another nice weekend! Zelda earned 29 MACH points, her 5th QQ, and her second Excellent FAST leg (with a first placement). Geraldo picked up 24 MACH points and his 31st QQ. We're in the homestretch for Geraldo's MACH!! He just needs 35 more MACH points now!!
AND...At the APOTC Agility Trial in Edinboro, PA on January 22-24, Zelda finished her Excellent FAST (XF) title, earned her 6th MX leg, and picked up 17 additional MACH points. Although Geraldo and I weren't running in sync that weekend, we did still manage to shave an additional 10 points off of what he needs to finish his MACH---25 more points to go! <G>
Peter
& Yvette Grandillo Jr. are VERY proud to announce: (Picture to right)
Suntera Bryce Grandillo, call name Bryce, made his debut at the Altoona Area
Kennel Association agility trial on January 23rd and 24th at the Penn State
Ag Center. This was an especially difficult debut because Bryce had only
run on grass or rubber matting whereas the Ag Center was packed dirt and saw
dust. Plus, the Ag Center offered all new sites and smells. While waiting
in line for Bryce’s first run, Bryce watched each dog intently before him
like he always does as a spectator. Then, to Bryce’s surprise, it was show
time. You could tell, that despite the warm-ups, Bryce thought it was only
training time and/or spectator time. Little did he know that he was going
to compete. Bryce, with all the enthusiasm of a 21 month old puppy roared
off the start line and around the course in under 26 seconds. All the
stress of an agility first run was over in fewer than 26 resulting in a
score of 90 and a 2nd place finish. Bryce went on to finish the trial with
4 qualifying runs out of 4. Bryce earned two 1st place finishes and two 2nd
place finishes. What a great first weekend for the little guy. You better
believe Bryce is letting Cammi and Dawson (his older siblings) know that he
started off better than they did! Bryce even made sure he got a bigger piece
of ice cream than his siblings during treat time at the PSU Creamery. Then
again, I don’t think anyone expected Bryce to try to take such a big chunk.
(The sight of seeing him get chilled by the ice cream was hilarious!
Whiskers shivered and all). Thanks for reading…
And… Suntera Cammi Grandillo, call name Cammi, also competed at the same trial as Bryce above. Cammi earned four 1st place finishes in Open P Std, Exc A P Std, Exc A P Jww, and Exc B P Jww. Cammi also earned title in Open P Standard and Exc A P titles.
And… Suntera Dawson Grandillo, call name Dawson, also competed at the same trial as Bryce and Cammi above. Dawson did extremely well earning two 1st place finishes, one in Exc B Standard and one in Exc B Jww. Dawson also earned a 2nd place finish in Exc B Jww. For the entire weekend, the Cammi, Dawson, and Bryce went 11 for 12, placing in each round that they ran. Thanks for reading…
Marlana Tice reports that...Emprise Just Three Wishes, AXJ, OA, CD, "Justi" earned her Open Standard Agility Title on 1/9/10 at the Erie Kennel Club Trial in Edinboro with a Clean 1st Place run and 20 Seconds under time. Then on 1/23/10, in Edinboro, Justi earned her 4th MXJ leg with a 2nd Place finish and 19 more MACH points.
Julie Iverson tells us that...Homespun has been busy the last 2 months. In December at the Cleveland Specialty Calvin took the breed and then went on to take a Group 2. His new title is BISS Am/Can Ch Homespun Casual Blues. He then went to Hamburg Jan 15, 16 and 17th and was BOB all three days. His mother Christy was WB and BOB on Jan 17 to bring her up to 11 points and both majors. This past weekend, at West Friendship, MD, Christy was WB/BOS and BOB over specials to earn 2 more points with Calvin going BOS. The next day Christy again was WB/BOW and BOB over specials to finish and then went on to win a Group 1 for 4 points! Calvin was BOS again. Sunday the roles were reversed and Calvin was BOB and Christy was BOS. It was a clean sweep weekend for the mother and son team. Christy and Calvin were beautifully presented by Katie Grohowalski. Christy won her first 5 point specialty major with Lindsay Spitznogle. You girls are just awesome. Thank you for everything you've done. Christy is now Ch Homespun Allspice Silverlicious NAJ.
