COCOA PT!
Cocoa earned her PT title yesterday at the herding trials held at Nutmeg Farm here in Portland CT!! I am so very proud of this little half pint, she not only got her geese around the course and penned in a very controlled manner, she surprised me by doing it in the shortest time of any dog entered in her class!!
Cocoa OAJ!!
Not to be outdone by her big brother, Cocoa Q’d both Friday and Saturday in Open JWW earning the last 2 legs to complete her title! Here is the link to her final Open JWW run on June 2, 2012.

Cocoa NAJ!
Cocoa is proudly displaying the 3 FIRST place ribbons she earned on the way to her very first title, her NAJ!!! I am very proud of my little girl 
She is not even completly trained yet. I only entered her in the trial because I was the Trial Chairperson and had to be there till the end of the day anyway, so I thought we might as well play in Novice Jumpers and see what she could do. Here is the link to her final Novice JWW run.
