My daughter just completed her first year of 4H dog club. It was a bit hectic and stressful considering this was both of our first time in any sort dog show/competition. But now onto the good news:
We made it through
and I am proud to brag that Chloe recieved a Red ribbon in Showmanship (apparently it's frowned upon for your dog to fall asleep standing up and jump when the judge lifts his tail)a Red in OB (it is also frowned upon to wave at Grandma and praise your dog
) and a Blue in Rally (held leash too tight and gave the appearance of tugging) I'm really proud of her Rally score of 84/100. She worked super hard to get there! Though I am extremely glad we are done meeting until next summer, Chloe is already working hard at correcting her "oopses" for next July

Thanks guys! She is very proud of her accomplishment.
Ian, the group is fairly small- about 15 families- 20 or so kids in all.
Betty, we are still doing calves. The show is at the end of the month and things are going great. "Clover" calf developed an abscess and will not be healed before show time, but Willow the spotted one and Honeysuckle are healthy and leading very well. We are very excited to see how the show goes. Chloe has really made a great effort at building a trust based relationship with her girls and it seems to be paying off!

That's awesome Amy. I spent a good portion of my pre-teen years in 4-H as well, all horses but it's a great affiliation with some good values.
Waving at gramma, frowned upon though, really? Well, I’m sure there’s a Stoic 101 course somewhere.
It sounds like she did great, how fun!

Big congrats!
As a granpa here I can definitely say the wave to granma would definitely trump any judge's frown any day of the week.
old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks
