At  His  first  outing of the  year,  our  wonderful  Billie Bob (Chetcote the Conquerer)  earned  his  first Obedience and Rally CKC titles, adding PCD and RN  to  his name.

 He then moved up  to  Rally  Advanced, and  got  two  qualifying legs  straight off in his  first trials  with no  training at that  level.  He did it in  style  with high 96  scores, placing 2nd and  third amongst  very stiff competition.

Bonnie  will be at limited trials as we are hoping she will have puppies early summer.
