    I am delighted to announce that Davina earned her OTCh title this past weekend at a Regional Qualifier in MD. We celebrated her 4th birthday on Tuesday and that Saturday she opted to make my OTCh dreams come true. I was truly taken by surprise when the judge called our number for 2nd place in UB. The competition was unbelievably well trained but the trialing conditions were insurmountable for others. Davina rose to the challenge right behind a longtime Judge who competed that day with his Golden.

    Davina and I celebrated by playing on the beach until dusk and then we had a big steak dinner and some ice cream!

    Congratulations Dani, WTG Davina! WA-WA-WAHOO! This is me doing my happy dance. That must have been a really great celebration, I'm just wondering what Davina enjoyed more, the steak or the ice cream? Oops, almost forgot, HAPPY BIRTHDAY sweet baby, you did your momma proud! :cool: :biggrin2:

    Thanks, everyone, for the wonderful comments. The journey took 2 years and about 2 weeks from the time Davina entered the Novice B ring for the 1st time to earning her OTCh. We took about 8 months off due to family health issues and of course our training time suffered as well. So, considering that, the journey was rather quick, especially in my area. I competed against teams with multiple scores of 200 from the OB or UB classes.

    EJHUNTL -- about posting pictures....I'm waiting on the delivery from the the official photographer. I hope to have them sometime later this week. I can't wait to post a picture of her AKC certificate.

    Sullivan -- Know that I did the happy dance like no one was watching out on the beach with my Davina. The Birthday Girl would much rather play than to eat so I concentrated on play. She actually had a blast with each crashing wave.

    Callismom -- The trial chapter of your journey has to begin somewhere, so if it's Beginner Novice, that's absolutely wonderful. Good luck and keep us posted!
