My niece, Sparkle, and my 2nd QC

I know I have been very quiet, but life has been hectic: my sister had puppies, and one of the puppies has come to stay with us. Her name is Sparkle, and she keeps us all busy. She came to live with us when she was 8 weeks old, and she will be 14 weeks old this coming Friday. Of course she idolises me, and I tolerate her. Apparently she looks a lot like me. Here are photo's of us:

I am very pleased to be able to tell you that I won my 2nd Qualification Certificate (QC) in Dog Jumping at a show on the 25th of July. This means that I came first at a Championship show in the top Dog Jumping class, and that I need only one more QC to have the title of Dog Jumping Champion added to my name ... :-) Here is a videoclip of my first round:



Because I went clear, I had to do a jump-off against the other dogs that also had clear rounds - I had the fastest clear round in the jump-off. Here I am showing off my 1st place rosette and QC:



I will try and write more regularly. Till next time, keep the tails wagging.
