Being new here and trying to get to know you. I'm wondering what type of events some of you may (or may not) participate in. I can see there's at least one Agility person here which is always exciting. I love to watch bassets do agility and am hoping to get there myself some day when we get a chance.
For us we compete in conformation as I mentioned our girl is a show girl and she loves strutting her stuff in the ring, so we show in AKC and UKC. Roxie is also a therapy dog so we do her therapy visits at the nursing home which she adores since all the attention is on doting on her. She feels any activity which makes her the center of attention is always a good thing (hence her love of the show ring and therapy work). We also just finished our first round of Rally classes and are hoping to get a few rally titles (after a few more rounds of classes of course).
I'm also hoping to try tracking, field trials or hunt test with Roxie as I'd really like to be one of the first of my breeders dogs to get a Versatility Certificate. Her littermate sister just earned her Tracking Dog title this past weekend and we are so happy for them.
So what does anyone else do with their dogs?
