I just saw on the Great Dane Club of America's website that Falkor was ranked as the #14 Great Dane in Rally Novice in 2009 with a average score of 92 for our RN title. :) Woo-Hoo we were in the top 20!
We are going to try for the first leg of our Rally Advanced title here pretty soon. We are going to go to a trial in Waterloo with some of Falkor's family at the end of April. It will be such a blast!
We are currently in a session of advance obedience right now and it has been really fantastic. We have a very small class and we've been able to do a lot of work off leash which is awesome! Falkor especially loves the class because it is allll girl dogs and he is a total ladies man. He is SUCH a huge flirt. We've been working on his zoomie issue and I think we are making some great progress. We are also taking an Utility for Beginners class and an attention class during members night and they have been a lot of fun as well. I just LOVE how Falkor is such a willing, happy worker and he loves to learn. He is so enthusiastic and we have so much fun together.
His knee has been doing very well (knock on wood) and we continue with all our rehab. I am so happy that the weather is slowly starting to warm up so we can get out and exercise more.
And the reallly exciting news is that Falkor has a new baby sister. Hehe like how I snuck that in there?? And she is not a Dane!! We welcomed a sweet lil 15 week old Field Spaniel named Famke into our home and hearts this weekend. This has been in the works for a little while but I was afraid to post anything about it until it was for sure because I was afraid I would jinx it. I absolutely adore Danes and I will always have at least one (maybe two) but I wouldn't want two Danes so close in age. We will no doubt add another Dane to the family once Falkor is a bit older. We'll also need to have a bigger vehicle by then. :) I am working on Famke's blog and I will post a link once I get it up and running. Falkor is head over heels in love with her and is just DYING to play. She is a bit overwhelmed by his exuberance but I'm sure they will be ripping it up in no time.
