The Spaniel Annals

We recently received the happy news that Brian finished his Musical Freestyle Championship!

I have to confess the certificate is bit misleading; the rules changed recently to allow scores above 90 to count towards a championship. Brian’s scores were 93 and 91, with a bumper leg of 92 at a recent live show. I’m thrilled with that; he did his very best for this title and we had a lot of fun inventing and preparing it. The song is “Let’s Hear It for the Boy” by Deneice Williams, a song from the movie Footloose that certainly conveys how I feel about this dog.

Here’s his recent live performance at the No Frills at the Emerald Wall:

Brian is now semi-retired from showing in freestyle while he focuses on Utility obedience and scentwork. This also allows me to focus solely on Kerrie in freestyle, as she is showing a lot of potential. I hope you enjoy the performance as much as we did!
