I just wanted to follow up with some great news about out old gal. At the ripe age of 11 years 3 months she passed her JH in two weekends of trialing! To top it all off she did her final run without me around at all (anniversary trumped the trial...) and had a handler she had never worked with - huge thanks to our friend Derek :-)
Now to finish her Rally Excellent title so she can retire LOL Just goes to show you can teach an old dog new tricks - all of her titles except her CGN were obtained at the age of 10 1/2 years or older.
She is the much loved "Maddie" Stormar's Poet Laureate CD,CGN,JH,RA,WC
(Am Ch Willcare's Master of the Hunt CD,JH x Can Ch Stormar's Not Quite Sure)
Congratulations. My first JH was 8 when she earned the title, so I agree that the veterans can do it. However, like your girl, she had had lots of training in obedience before we got serious about field work.
