<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Only one week ago, Savi finished her NAJ (Novice Agility Jumpers with Weaves title) with a 1st place, and was bumped up the next day to compete in Open and won the class. Well this past weekend at the Scottish Terrier Club of New England trial, Savi did it again and qualified in Open Jumpers for her 2nd OAJ (Open Agility Jumpers) leg with a 2nd place! It takes three qualifying legs to earn the title.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On Saturday, it took Savi time to acclimate to the new venue and she just got better and better with each run. On Sunday, Savi had a terrific Open Standard run but her handler, me, accidentally sent her to an off course jump, and since we are working on keeping her attitude up and trying to build speed, I just went on, not letting her know a mistake was made, and she did a super job which is more important than qualifying and possibly taking a backward step in our training. Her Open Jumpers run, shown below, was smooth and she handled beautifully. She isn't running as fast as I would like but she is not experienced and the confidence and speed will come. Very proud of how well she did and look forward to our next trial in a few weeks.</span><br />

Spring finally arrived and we had a fantastic weekend at the Hudson Valley Golden Retriever agility trial in beautiful Goshen, NY. Savi earned her NAJ (Novice Agility Jumpers) title with a 1st place! This makes Savi, CH Grayhart's Shear Genius, CD, SH, NA, NAJ, NSD, NRD, VX! She then made her debut in Open JWW and won the class for her 2nd 1st place of the weekend!!! <br />
<br />
Sister Jam ran well but with some handler errors (oops) but managed to Q (qualify) in Masters Jumpers for her 2nd MXJ leg with a 4th place! It takes ten qualifying runs to earn the AKC MX (Master Standard) or MXJ (Master Jumpers) title. Masters is the highest level of AKC agility and the course are the most complex and to earn a Q, you must have a perfect run (no faults) with a score of 100.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Last weekend, Savi made us super proud at the SOJAC Agility Trial at Dream Park in New Jersey. Savi had not been in the agility ring in two years, as she made her agility debut in North Carolina in 2012, earning two 1st places and NA and NAJ legs, but then we focused on other pursuits like hunting, obedience and motherhood. Her return to the ring, really only her second time trialing, was a solid one with Savi qualifying 3 out of 4 runs, all with 1st places and she earned her NA or Novice Agility title. She only needs one more qualifying leg to finish her NAJ or Novice Agility Jumpers with Weaves title. She was close to qualifying day one in JWW but for some odd reason she kept missing the same weave pole. In her three other runs, she nailed her weaves and did them independently, something we've been training. Savi has solid, running contacts and a nice jumping style. She is a thoughtful dog, so not super speedy at this point but with more experience, the confidence and speed will come. </span><br />

The earn a CD, a dog must get three qualifying legs and a minimum score of 50% in the exercises, which are on lead heeling, off lead heeling, figure eight, stand for exam, recall and group sit and down stays. Getting this title also gives Savi the points needed to earn her WCA Versatile Excellent or VX title! To earn versatility titles, dogs must title in multiple venues. Savi is a talented girl and now we will concentrate on agility and she will also take time off to have pups this year.<br /><br /><br />Savi is now....CH Grayhart's Shear Genius, CD, SH, NSD, NRD, VX!!!Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01949013889319586242noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109735947448688628.post-41662085401864032152014-01-01T13:11:00.000-08:002014-04-26T14:23:45.207-07:002013 Year in Review for Savi<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Last Sunday,Savi, CH Grayhart's Shear Genius, SH, NSD, NRD,V, and I underwent and passed with flying colors, the evaluation for the Pet Partners, formerly Delta Society, Therapy Dog Program. The test was given in New York City by Anita Sacks, a certified Pet Partner Evaluator.<br />
<br />
What is unique about this program is that both the dog and handler are tested on their skills and aptitude as relating to what it takes to being a successful and safe team able to visit various environments. I was so proud of Savi, who did an awesome job, and received wonderful feedback from our evaluator on her terrific, outgoing temperament. <br />
<br />
From the <a href="http://www.petpartners.org/">Pet Partners</a> Website:<br />
<br />
Pet Partners® program trains volunteers and screens volunteers and their pets for visiting animal programs in hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, schools and other facilities. <br />
The Pet Partners program was established in 1990 to ensure that "both ends of the leash," people as well as animals, were well-prepared to participate in animal-assisted activity and animal-assisted therapy programs. Pet Partners is the only national registry that requires volunteer training and screening of animal-handler teams.<br />
<br />
Pet Partners national network links volunteers with facilities in their own communities that request visiting pets and helps Pet Partners contact facilities to begin visits in new locations.<br />
<br />

The evaluation consists of two parts, Skills and Aptitude. Above shows the dog at the beginning of an overall exam and then the tester will move on to clumsy petting and a restraining hug. Savi gave Anita lots of kisses whenever she could and was allowed.<br />
<br />

The dog must have basic obedience skills and do these with distractions, ranging from yelling, staggering individuals, getting bumped from behind and being crowded and petted by a group of people. Above, shows a stay. The dog is kept on a long lead for safety purposes.<br />

The last exercise was accepting a treat. The dog must do this in a polite manner and the evaluator must not feel teeth. It is also important that the handler show or tell the person how they are to give the dog a treat.<br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Hot off the presses, in the March issue of The Weimaraner Magazine, is Savi's Dual Weimaraner Award page. To earn this award, a dog must have both a show championship and a Senior Hunter title.<br /><br />Thanks to the Dual Weimaraner Program for this award sponsored by Debbie Moody & photo design by KellyAnn Kwiatek. <br /><br />We cannot thank Denny Keeton enough for his expert training, handling and care of Savi to earn her Senior Hunter title! Savi was owner/breeder handled to her Junior Hunter title in 4 straight tests, along with her NSD and NRD. In the show ring, Savi finished her championship easily with a 5-pt major from the Bred-By-Exhibitor class earned during the Southern Futurity/Maturity weekend.<br /><br />Savi is CH Grayhart's Shear Genius, SH, NSD, NRD, V CGC<br /><br />She has two legs towards her CD (Companion Dog) title and one Novice Agility leg and one Novice Jumpers with Weaves leg. We hope to complete these titles after Savi takes time off for motherhood.</span></h3>

Parker is a gorgeous male, with elegant type, correct movement and a stable, friendly temperament. In addition to being a top winning show dog, Parker is a proven producer of multiple champions and versatile excellent offspring, with correct conformation and good health and temperaments. Our Trixie x Parker breeding produced champions, performance dogs and therapy dogs.<br />
<br />
<br />
Parker attained 3 majors from the puppy classes and finished his Championship at 15 months of age with a 5-pt major Specialty win at the Yankee Weimaraner Club in conjunction with the WCA National Specialty where he also won an Award of Merit. Parker was Top Ten for two years, a Specialty and multiple Breed and Group winner.<br />

What a fabulous birthday present - Savi whelped 7 beautiful healthy pups, 4 girls and 3 boys! Savi was amazing, especially for a first time mother, whelping all seven in three hours and remained calm and relaxed throughout the entire process. The litter theme is based on Cameron Crowe movies and Fast Times at Ridgemont High is a classic.<br />
<br />
The proud papa is Parker, Multiple Group Winning, Best in Specialty Show, GCH HiBourne's It's All About Me, BROM and the mother, Savi is officially known as CH Grayhart's Shear Genius, SH, NSD, NRD, CGC, V.</div>

The final stacks of the Fast Times litter (Parker x Savi), done at 8 weeks of age, the day before we are to evaluate the pups on their conformation and movement. A very consistent litter with good breed type...we are extremely happy with how our pups are developing. A big weekend of parties to post about!<br />

Thirteen weeks after whelping a litter of seven pups, Savi was back in action, making her debut in the Rally ring. Honestly, we have never trained for rally and even though I winged it over 5 years ago and put a Rally Novice title on Trixie, in a weekend with 3 2nd placements, Rally is alien to me and a lot has changed since we last did it. I've been practicing obedience with Savi, hoping to finish her CD title and thought the since we were going to the Harrisburg cluster of shows, entering her in rally would be a fun way to get her back into a show ring. The other competitors and the judge were terrific and very helpful in explaining the meaning of some of the signs that I had questions about. I knew she would qualify as she has the skills to do well in Rally Novice (the lowest level) but what a pleasant surprise to hear that she was in 2nd place with a terrific score of 98 (out of 100). Very proud of my girl! She just needs two more qualifying legs to earn her Rally Novice (RN) title.</div>

We are beyond excited that not only did Savi start and finish her Senior Hunter this fall, under the expert training and handling by Denny, but she is our first Senior Hunter. Savi is now home and next on her agenda is to finish her CD or Companion Dog obedience title and possibly her novice agility titles before she is bred in the Spring to Parker, GCH HiBourne's It's All About Me, BROM.<br />

Savi was quite sad to see her brother Memphis go home yesterday. What she didn't know was that we had a big trip planned and she was going to bird heaven. Off we went for a long, nine hour drive to Ohio, where Savi will be going for field training to work on Senior and Master Hunter. Savi will learn to steady, hold until released for the retrieve, retrieve to hand and honor her bracemate on point.<br /><br />Savi showed her new trainer what she's made of and impressed him with her intense points and drive, finding every bird he planted with style and attitude. It is a wonderful opportunity for Savi to be able to fulfill her potential and spend days doing what she loves - running in the field and hunting and retrieving birds. We'll be busy at home with pups, so the perfect time for Savi to be at bird camp.<br /><br />We'll be posting pictures and videos as we get updates from her trainer<br /><div style="text-align: center;">

We were thrilled that on our Grayhart Southern Adventure (GSA), at the Tarheel Weimaraner Club Agility Trial, Savi made her agility debut and qualified for her Novice Standard and Novice Jumper with Weaves legs with 1st and 2nd placements! The TWC requested agility pictures of all the Weims who were entered for their newsletter and since it was Savi's first trial, we didn't have any agility shots to send in beforehand. Thanks to our pupparazzi, KellyAnn, we did an impromptu photoshoot at Debbie's house. The shot above is my favorite, showing off Savi's perfect jumping form and focus.<br /><div style="text-align: center;">

Summer vacation is in full swing and we love to enjoy the outdoors. Today, we met a friend with her two Vizslas and went for a lovely hike and then the dogs practiced water retrieves. Savi is a natural retriever and I think, part fish! She gets super excited and absolutely loves to swim and retrieve. In fact, she enjoyed her role as the cleanup dog when the other dogs couldn't bring the bumpers back. Savi also screams like a banshee when she impatiently waits for her turn. Watching her swim is pure joy and she will retrieve over and over. I took a short video with my Iphone of her doing a water retrieve. Managed to get the whole thing without dropping the phone!<br />

At obedience class Thursday night, we took a field trip to the local train station. What better way to incorporate real life distractions into our training regimen. Above, group stays and below, Savi, practicing her stand for exam, waiting to be examined. We also did off lead recall and Savi nailed them as well held her stays.

Savi, demonstrating her agility skills at the Annual TSWR Picnic. Like her Momma and sisters, she knows how to fly over the jumps. Savi still needs work on her weave poles but loves the contact equipment and is very responsive on course. We hope for her to make her agility debut this summer.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

A fun day was had by all at the Tri-State Weimaraner Rescue's 6th Annual Picnic held at the Ironwood Outdoor Center in Lumberton, NJ. The forecast was for a sunny day in the 80's but that never happened and the temps stayed cool in the high 60's and the day was overcast. The drab weather did not ruin the day and it was amazing to see dozens of Weims run loose together, playing and socializing, while their owners enjoyed good food and a terrific raffle.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 4px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Savi, CH Grayhart's Shear Genius,JH,NSD,NRD,CGC,V, with her favorite accessory!</div>
<br /><br />We are in high gear training for the Spring hunt tests. Jam is entered this weekend in Senior Hunter and we are still working on steadying her on the bird. She is a very smart cookie and an opportunist, taking advantage of any opportunity to take the bird out if she can. She had a beautiful point in the back course and did a great job backing the other dog before we entered the bird field. That's when things went downhill. The wind disappeared and she was very close to the bird when she went on point. Although she didn't catch it, she broke point, which is very bad. We had to correct this behavior as it is an automatic fail in the tests and unfortunately, she has learned that she can get away with it. She spent some time in her crate, not happily, while we then worked Savi. When we brought Jam back out, she was raring to go and we were very careful to keep her close and bring her into the wind to get a nice point, far from the planted bird. The wind was blowing lightly and bam, she went on a beautiful point. I went to the planted bird, reinforced Jam's "whoa" command, setup the gunner and flushed the bird. Jam held steady, even after the bird did not fly, but ran and then finally flew. She was not only steady to shot, but stayed until I release her for the retrieve. She flew out and did a nice retrieve. Success! We ended her session on a very positive note.<br /><br /><br />Savi had a stellar day and was truly impressive. With little experience backing other dogs, Savi acknowledged the other dog on point, getting her back in. She also found the pigeon on the back course and pointed it from 20' away! She held while I flushed the bird, shot the blank gun and then heeled her away. In the bird field, again, she had a terrific, staunch point from a nice distance and no only held through the shot, but until I sent her for the retrieve. She ran out and got her bird and retrieved to hand. This girl is already showing Master hunter potential. We were so happy with Savi's performance that I entered her in an upcoming hunt test for her first time in Senior Hunter. <br /><br /><br />A big weekend ahead and we'll report the results.Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01949013889319586242noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109735947448688628.post-90480514845294676392012-03-27T13:44:00.000-07:002012-03-27T13:44:02.910-07:00Our Girls<div style="text-align: center;"><img height="258" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=ad58593647&view=att&th=13651fc5234b505c&attid=0.1.1&disp=emb&zw&atsh=1" width="400" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;">A bevy of beauties...our champions...l-r: Savi, Jam & Momma Trixie!</div>Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01949013889319586242noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109735947448688628.post-64667242231499050722012-03-25T17:43:00.000-07:002012-03-25T17:43:16.389-07:00New CHAMPION Savi!!!<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/530637_3518911693341_1288474576_33481443_1701246509_n.jpg" /> </div>Proud to announce our newest AKC Champion, Savi, who is now CH Grayhart's Shear Genius, JH, NSD, NRD,V, who finished today at the Bronx County Kennel Club show in Edison, NJ, from the Bred-By-Exhibitor class, under judge Bud DiDonato. Savi is her momma Trixie's 8th champion!<br />
<br />
Savi's show career has been an exciting one with fun wins including Best Puppy in Show at the AKC Canine Learning Experience Match show, 5-pt Supported entry major during the Southern Fut/Mat weekend from the BBE class and a 2nd place Futurity placement.<br />
<br />
It was wonderful to have some of our friends there to celebrate her win with a fabulous bottle of champagne, thanks to Savi's personal pupparazzi and godmother, Kellyann.<br />
<br />
