Puppy Match & Disc Dog

Saturday our club held a keeshond puppy match.  Before the match started, we did a mini disc dog class.  Since I've gone to 2 classes, I was the "trainer".  Everyone worked on how to properly hold and throw the disc, then we brought out the dogs individually to play.  For the dogs that weren't used to catching the disc, we threw rollers (throw on the edge of the disc to the ground, so it rolls quickly across the ground) - very fun chase game for the dogs.  Izzy and Heidi then got to show off their moves.

After the disc dog fun, the puppy match was held.  Heidi was entered in the adult category, and won best of adult.  Tug also participated and received best of opposite adult.  Heidi and Tug got in some good practice time in the ring before the show season begins.  There was also time during the day for a lot of play time with the other dogs - lots of fun.
