2012-03-14 Summary of 2011 and start of 2012
Last year was a really good year for us. We did a lot of training in different disciplines, and made many new friends. Kito has been healthy and happy, and I have tagged along :) There were many unofficial highlights and bright moments, but here I'll only write about the official ones.
Kito was entered in a working trial and promoted to the next level. So proud of my boy, who did excellent search work in the woods, and passed the obedience test.
We started up a new activity, RallyO, and got the novice class diploma and a couple of qualified results in experienced class.
Kito is of course also a stunning beauty (to me :)), and we were happy that in one of the very few shows he was entered in got to second best male in stiff competition, and was awarded CC and CACIB.
By his result in the working trial Kito got to the top of the list, was awarded Best Working Ridgeback of 2011 in the Swedish Rhodesian Ridgeback Club. Yahoo!
2012 has started in a good way, and I look forward to lot's of fun with my boy.
On the 11'th of March Kito was entered in an obedience competition, level 2, and we got a 2:nd prize. I was quite happy with that result. There were misses, but Kito worked well with me. It was our first try at level 2.
