I have some happy news to share. Today (Sat. 23-10-10) at an Obedience Trial at the Werribbee Obedience Dog Club my No-Nickers-Nellie (Aust Ch. Rondaglen Parti fashion C.D.X.) achieved her first pass in the Utility Ring. She scored 190/200. She was the only successful dog from the two Utility rings in the morning trial. She came home with beautiful blue sashes, a most attractive artistic platter and a generous collection of food treats. Nellie won her ring. The judge was Ross Carlson. Nell now needs two more passes of 170+/200 to qualify for a U.D. title. We have been working in the hope that this day would could. I am delighted for my lovely little Lowchen lady and so grateful for the generous, gentle guidance of Glenys for both of us. Irene Bilney.
Hi all,
Must congratulate Irene Bilney and No Nickers Nellie (Ch Rondaglen Parti Fashion CDX) on Nellie's second pass in UD last night, once again winning the ring. The weather was appalling, the advertised judge didn't turn up and dogs and handlers had to wait around for almost an hour for a replacement judge. KCC Park in Melbourne is renowned for its windy
conditions and Irene was afraid poor Nellie would be blown away. However, dog and handler behaved in an examplary fashion. Nellie is now only one pass away from UD and will then start the uphill grind towards OC.
Congratulations again Nellie and Irene from Mum Ch Paceaway Satine and your sisters, nephew and niece here at Rondaglen.
Australia's first Obedience Lowchen - Aust. Ch. Rondaglen Parti Fashion U.D
She is known around the trials as my "No Nickers Nellie".
Nellie is the first Lowchen for Australia to attempt or achieve this.
I am so grateful to Glenys Biggs for training both of us and for her friendship.
