5 months picture of Reko, he weighed 16,4 kg. For comparison a 5 months picture of Riva on right.

We went to our first search trial this year. Unfortunately we didn’t qualify, mostly due to handler mistakes, Riva did his best (and a whole lot of running!). Obedience was not bad, 82/100.

Weather was not favoring us, show blowing horizontally and a smaller handler might have been swept away by the wind.

With Bardi brigsel alert training and a little bit of obedience, bot went quite well. Riva got to goof around as I was trying to demonstrate different ways of controlled play with a dog for rewarding.

We are waking up from winter hibernation and getting back to training. Both dogs were surprisingly good after a loooooong break.

Heeling on leash, hides the biggest fault we currently have which is advancing ahead of me.

Riva learning to back up straight.
