Frost got her first Utility leg today! She got a first place ribbon as well but truth be told she was the only Utility A dog entered However, I am thrilled with getting a leg since Utility is pretty darn hard and Frost (and I) are still so green.
Just had to share my exciting news
This is WAY worth a brag!!! Congratulations to you both!!
!!!!SUPER FANTABULOUS!!!!
The AKC UD title is something many in obedience strive for and few make it. Scent discrimination, directed retrieve, send out and directed jumping.
Obedience that includes heeling, moving stand, down from the stand, sit from the down, recall from the sit and the finish "all" with hand signals only and a stand for exam that is much more thorough (sp) then anything in the novice or open class.
The Utility class is where the dogs and trainers are separated from the wannabees.
The title I'm still working towards with Thunder...when I get off my lazy butt.
Many differences from the SchH OB.
I've often said it can be much harder the the SchH ob titles for a number of reasons even in the Novice class.
Very small ring (40'x40') that is usually surrounded by people and their dogs just feet away from the competitors. That can include ignorant little tykes, eating their ice cream cones and hot dogs. Often indoors in very crowded conditions.
The judges in AKC can be very anal in their scoring. In SchH you may loose points if the dog bumps you. AKC the judge will take points EVERY time the dog touches you. The SchH dog wil often loose points because of it "bordering on a lack of control". They like the perfectly positioned, level heeling dog.
The average AKC OB show may have 1-200 dogs and all of them are in your way getting to the ring. LOL!
