Since brags have been given the official OK, I would like to announce that I now have my 4th Champion JH, as Solo is now Ch Linamia Papageno's Aria JH, having earned her title in four straight tests. (We did NQ at our first attempt, but it was at least partly my fault, and we won't talk about that!) Rally is next!
Thanks, Diane. This was especially rewarding because Solo was less than perseverent as a young dog. But sometime between age 2 and 4 (don't know exactly, as I didn't do much field work the summer she was 3, and she had a litter), she developed the ability to concentrate. I think that having the litter may have helped her develop the self-confidence and maturity she needed.
