The most reliable GPS system

We had a good snow fall yesterday.

Despite a bit of overcast, it was a good day to go snowshowing. 

Since I planned to do some exploring and break some trails, I brought Hermione along with Scarlet. 

Hermione ran like a puppy in the snow.

Since the fresh snow covered the old track, there were times that we had to break our trails. At one point I was moving on as Hermione turned right, I ignored her and kept going. She stared at me, marked at the spot and followed me. Then I realized I was getting into steep terrain, I pulled up the GPS and tried to find my way. Sure enough it led me to where Hermione has marked. I followed her and she brought me back on the main trail.

I put my GPS in my pocket and let Hermione led us back to the parking. 

I brought the GPS along just in case we got lost.

I guess what I have to say now is, I brought Hermione along just in case I couldn't work the GPS. 

Maybe I don't even need the GPS as long as she is with me.

Footprints from my girls.

Good start for 2016

It is good because we have plenty of snow.

It is good because the girls have fun.

It is good because the girls have a good recall.

The girls are eager to get going.

Hey! Look at the camera please!

Come on, mom, let's go.

I saw something over there. Do you?

I found something here too.

Let's march on . Girls!

Christmas 2015

All our puppies had a picture with Santa. This is Scarlet's turn.

Happy 13th birthday to Moby!

Moby is 13 years old.

Bright eyes and big smile, he looks just liked the first day I picked him up from the airport, except he is 3 times bigger.

Happy birthday to Moby!

Mama's boy.

My first show dog.

My forever teddy bear.

Enjoy your peanut butter banana pup cake.

Yes, peanut butter is his favourite.

 I joke that the freckles on his face are from him eating peanut butter and didn't wipe his face afterwards.

What a pleasant surprise!

 That is so true!

Moka left the ring during the exercise on the first day and we got DQ. 

Frank was teasing us that " after all, there is something that Moka can't do."

I was so discouraged that I was almost decided to sleep in and not going to the second obedience trial the next day.

Moka proves Frank wrong.

We got a qualification on our second trial.

I was pleased with her performance. 

I was pleased that we qualified.

I did not expect a High in Class.

I thought I heard it wrong when our number was called out.

Surprise! Surprise! 

Tailblazer Fall 2015

This was Moka's second "Q" in Started Jumper which earned her a starter jumper title. She did the whole run in a little over half the course time.

Roxy had a nice jumper run on Saturday. 

Another nice run in Starter Jumper

With her second "Q" in starter Snooker.

That earned her a SGDC - Starter Game Dog of Canada title.

Roxy has finally grown up. 

I used to call her my Ferrari with no brake. She has now not only installed a brake, but with a steering wheel as well.

She has a nice one for her first "Q" in the advanced level in Gambler.

This meant she had to take a sequence of obstacles some distances away from me. The higher the level the further the distance will be and more twisted the line of runs. She needed to be able to do it on verbal command only.

Moka has a nice one in started gambler today. This is her first "Q". She is getting the confident to do the obstacles without me by her side. 

This picture is from Snooker. 

She has a nice attempt at her first Advanced Jumper. She ran her heart out at full speed. In higher level the course has more turns and we need to work on the control of her speed to make nicer turns.
