OK.

I will go first.

My name is Kailey. I am 5 years old. At the moment, I am being trained in Rally. And let me tell you this. I LOVE Rally.

I am hoping to get some titles in Rally soon.

Hi! I'm Royce, a 1 1/2 year old cocker spaniel. I have a 2 1/2 year old brother, Bentley who takes care of me. My momma dog and poppa dog are champions along with my older brother, but I focus mostly on rally. I show mom and Bentley shows dad. We're taking a training break for the holidays, but hope to get back in a real rally class toward the end of January.

I got my CGC at just 7 months old, which mom says is good. I finished my RN at the Cocker Spaniel National Show in Indianapolis which was very cool. I got to see my Breeder Momma and Bentley got to see his Breeder Momma all the way from Minnesota!

It took me 4 trys to get mom's RA title. She forgot to show me a sold jump, and she seemed to refuse that jump the first time. Dig Bat!

Glad to meet some other Rally Fans!

I'm Gromit. I got all three of my rally titles -- RN, RA, and RE in only 10 trials (Mom messed up the very first one by missing a sign). We haven't decided yet whether to go for our RAE...right now we're working on getting our CD and polishing up our agility. But we'd be happy to offer some pointers to other rally-o-ers. We learned a lot of good tricks along the way...

Hi,
I just competed in my second AKC Rally trial and did well. I placed 3rd in the Novice A class on the first day, and 4th on the second day. I just have one leg to go for my first title.

I'm Mallory's housemate and also do Rally. I entered the same trial Mallory did but finished with slightly lower scores. I did qualify both days so I also have 2 legs towards my rally novice title.

Hi, I'm Kim and I have 2 Rally dogs, Asher and Demon.

We do APDT Rally and train under a Level I, II, and III judge.

Ash got his RLI the first weekend in September and his RLII over Thanksgiving weekend. We are working on his IX, is IIX and his ARCH and start Rally III classes in January.

At this point, he already has a box full of placement ribbons, all blue and red.

So far, Demon has just done some fun matches, but we are hoping to trial him in the spring.

Training under a judge helps on several fronts. She has a pole barn and hosts fun matches every other weekend in warm weather. For 5 dollars, you can treat, train or trial and she will critique your run just as if it was a real trial if you choose.

It is also helpful stratigically. She uses real trial course and can show you helpful tips if you encounter certain exercise combiations on the course, like how to handle married signs.

She plans on olding a trial at her facility in May with Laure Williams as the second judge and I will be trialing Ash, Demon and also working the trial in some capacity (timekeeper, ring stewert ect).

Rally on!

My name is Sheena and Pebbles and I are newbies to the world of Rally.

We are in the midst of figuring out how to get started and are waiting for the local Rally class to become available (instructor is on medical leave).

I am really looking forward to doing Rally through the APDT with Pebbles. I think she would have a blast doing it! big grin
