Welcome Back! We are in the homestretch for the new Rally signs and we should be finished with all of them in a couple more weeks. I hope everyone has been enjoying learning about the new stations and getting in some practice before July 1.
The dog that is being used in the videos is: UNJCH UAGI UCD GRCH URX2 UWP UROG AMCH BTr MR2 ROM1 Stonefox Private Investigator SPOT-ON BN PCD CD RE CGCA TKA AD DP-NND, lovingly known as Magnum.
Magnum is a 9-year-old Belgian Malinois that was bred at StoneFox Kennels. He learned the new signs each week while doing the videos. Really, it was more that I had to learn them correctly he just did what I asked him. He only had a little misunderstanding with one of them, the send to cone exercises. Magnum is Mondioring (Ringsport) titled and thought for sure he had been lifted from retirement and was back to doing the object guard exercise. He promptly went to the cone, put his foot on it and barked at me just like he should have done in the other discipline to guard the object. A couple of steps back to show him what I wanted and as usual, he got the new routine. We had a lot of fun with those exercises after he learned the new way. He is such a great dog and an awesome partner. I am sure you will see more of him in the upcoming Rally and Obedience videos. Very exciting things to come. Okay, now back to Rally. Thanks for asking about my wonderful boy.
