Lilly of Kirschway RAE CGCA, owned by聽 Jill Hubbard of Fairdale, KY, has earned the top title in AKC Rally competition 鈥� the Rally Advanced Excellent (RAE) and also has passed the 蜜桃视频 Canine Good Citizen-Advanced test. It all started with puppy kindergarten!
Lilly is a rescued Great Pyrenees mix that joined Jill鈥檚 pack of two pure-bred rescued Great Pyrenees, Teddy and Pyrcie, 10 years ago.
鈥淲hen she came to us at about 12 weeks old, we went straight into a puppy obedience class because I believe a good dog is a happy dog,鈥� Jill said. 鈥淪he immediately took to the classroom instruction.聽 And, what a great socialization tool!鈥�
From basic obedience they moved into agility and then decided to extend their basic skills through Rally 鈥渂ecause it is fun, easy to practice at home and the competition courses are interesting to maneuver around,鈥� Jill said.
Jill enrolled Lilly in the 蜜桃视频 Canine Partners program for mixed-breeds and rescues and they started competing in AKC competitions.
鈥淚 am so very proud of our happy, full-out wagging tail girl because she worked very hard to earn her Rally Advanced Excellent title.鈥�
Lilly was awarded the top title in AKC Rally during the Central Kentucky Herding Group Club rally trials held Jan. 31 鈥� Feb. 1, 2015 at Agility Cues for You in Louisville, KY.
