MANDY PASSED THE CGC!!! (pictures)

cindy456 · 11-07-2009, 04:10 PM

Tomorrow is Mandy's big day. She will be tested for Canine Good Citizenship. I am nervous, she is running around exploring the yard after her bath and having a great time. We have had 2 run-throughs so far and she did fine on them. I just hope tomorrow she is the mood to perform. I took her to my class again this week and she did wonderfully. She knows when the bell rings we go into the hall and she gets lots of attention from the students. Even ones I don't teach ask about her when she isn't there and love to pet her when she is there. I am amazed at how well she does on the stairs now (rubber coats them), she even goes slowly for me so I don't get pulled down them by her. Her coat is starting to change some, a little more white here and there is showing through the brown. She is gorgeous.
The trainers have all said she has "soft eyes" and there is never any aggression shown from her, even when other dogs act like fools. She is also a big girl now, weighing in at 62.7 lbs. But there isn't any fat on her. Naturally she is a velcro dog, always waiting outside a door for me, or looking to see where I am. I love being with her and can't wait until spring for therapy testing so she can go to work with me every day.

Wow, congratulations! She is lovely- that picture must be a new one? She sounds like a gentle soul like Beck, I so wish the two could play together sometime- he's about the same size- 65 lbs

Cindy, that is so great! I know that she will do very well...but can't wait to hear the results!

Hi Lynn, The picture of Mandy is pretty recent, she still looks the same. Both of ours are about the same size! She is so sweet, except to her stuffed toys! Most of those are de-stuffed now. Aren't they great dogs!

That's too funny about her toys, Beck is the same way- he goes through them in minutes...but I did find some that last about a month believe it or not, and he's crazy about them too. http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/,...r-Dog-Toy.html We have an outlet here in town so we went and bought him 3 more since they are on clearance. If you order some, there's a way to get free shipping; you submit the answer to a riddle in one of their recent catalogs in the comments section of the order. Here's a link with some of the answers to the riddles and how to enter it, the order will show a charge for shipping but if you get the answer right they will adjust the charge within 24 hours: http://www.freeshipping.org/blog/sie...ipping/#riddle

We are getting ready to leave so she can get her "play" time out before the test. I am half sick over it and she is happy happy happy like it is any other Sunday afternoon. Will let you know in a couple of hours if we pass!!

Good luck! Enjoy...!!

I am so thrilled we just got home and had to report that Mandy passed the CGC. I am so happy for her. Six dogs were tested, Mandy and her Standard Poodle boyfriend passed the test along with 2 other dogs. And 2 failed, one lady was rather unhappy her dog failed so we left quickly after being told we passed. The 2 that didn't pass I kind of figured they wouldn't since they barked and lunged and the trainer's testing dog.
Mandy did great, she did everything she was to do and behaved perfectly, never a peep out of her. I am so relieved and she is exhausted now, since we were there 3 hours. She also graduated Advanced training tonight. I will post pictures in a little while.

Happy dance time, Mandy passed and is a big girl now!!!
