no longer the evil dark bitch?

Sybil finished her (AKC) excellent standard title today (AX). And picked up her fourth Master Jumpers (MXJ) leg. Standard has been such a bugaboo for us. Always one stinkin' thing going wrong, it seemed. Jumpers, so much more fun. But today jumpers was OK, but it was in standard she really kicked butt. Almost 16 seconds under time, she won the class and made it look easy. Nice course, didn't hurt. Had its challenges, for sure, but designed by a judge who understands big butted dogs - our agility judge for this year's OESCA agility trial! :-)

Macy - usually my steady, dependable one - was in lala land, she appears to think she's pregnant again (not! :-) ) but she managed to get her first MXJ leg. She already has her AX. I will spay her before her next season so we can focus on her agility career - I have my puppy girls from her, and Dawn has her boy.

Today, however, was Sybil's day to shine. I've felt her coming along, the connection that's developing between us. Incredible. So proud of both of them, more so because I BRED them. I know there aren't many of you, but for the breeders among us, you know what I'm talking about. :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:

Congrats :) Our dogs are our art.... but so much more complex than a painting or figurine etc.... living, breathing,loving, thinking (*usually LOL) creatures we've brought into this world often after generations of selections... it's an amazing feeling :)
Congrats to sister Sybil from brother Chewie!!!

Yeah Kristine! Well done and BIG CONGRATULATIONS to you and the girls!
And yes, as wonderful a feeling as having that connection and fun in the ring is, knowing that you played a part in the creation of those amazing creatures just makes those moments all the more precious.

Oh, Simon will do great. Agility is the great equalizer - it's the performance that matters, not where the dog came from ;-)

That said, as Stacey, Marilyn and Linda Z understand, there's still something very special about a dog (or dogs) who owes its existence on this planet to your own blood, sweat and tears (worry, planning, hard work, etc etc) doing well at something you love. It will never diminish anything that Simon and you accomplish, and I will never, ever breed strictly with agility in mind (because the ideal agility dog is far from the ideal OES ;-) ) But you nonetheless have this brief moment of realizing that all of you research, you second-guessing yourself, maybe going out a limb while everyone around you sits back in horror <g> sometimes shows you that going with your "gut" - in part, perhaps ? the artistic element that Stacey refers to, to some extent - standing by what you believe to be important, is...not a bad thing ;-)

Breeding dogs is damn hard. The most difficult thing I've ever done. I was no less proud of Belle or even Mad's accomplishments. But knowing I bred these girls..it just takes it to a different level.

Kristine
You have a right to be very proud of your girls and boys.

I am proud of Butchy too, he's not special in the oes world but he is to me and he's quite smart...........too smart at times/
