This makes them #1 and #2 White Shepherds in obedience in the USA. They are pure joy to live, train and compete with.   

November 5-6, 2011: It was our last weekend of trials in 2011.  We participated in 8 runs in Obedience and 16 runs in Rally RO2 and RO3  over the weekend. It was a real test on endurance for us!

Faith took three First places and one High In Trial with a score of 198 in Obedience! This was Faith’s 13th HIT! In Rally she got a placement in every single trial she participated - one First place and High In Trial, three Second places, three Third places and one Fourth place.

Joy took one First place with a score of 197 and three Second Places in Obedience! In Rally she got two First places (beating Faith to it!), two Second and one Third place. Joy completed her RO3 title.

This was a great way to conclude our 2011’ performance season!
