Jazz’s and Banjo’s Exciting Summer
Tom and Jan’s Grangefield boys have had an exciting summer:
Grangefield Tin Pan Alley ( Jazz) earned his novice lure coursing title (CAT) in two shows on May 10 and June 21. He showed no hesitation in chasing the plastic “bunny” over the three hundred yard course. His best time was thirty-eight seconds.
His nephew Grangefield Bluegrass Balladeer (Banjo) passed his Herding Instinct test at our club meeting on June 14. After a hesitant start he figured out that he was SUPPOSED to chase the sheep. In July at the Shawnee Kennel Club show in Virginia he earned his Rally Excellent title and his Beginner Novice Obedience title on the same day.
Both dogs and their handler are “on vacation” for the rest of the summer.
