Justice's Mom, Huge Congratulations on the UDX! I hope to achieve the same with Jinx.

I know what you mean about the training being different than it used to. I started out with a Great Pyr and it was the old crank and yank back then. She hated the work and I only showed her once (173! lol) but then swung the pendulum the other way after attending a Patty Ruzzo seminar and went to only cookies, no leash or collar! Now I've happily swung to the middle (though slightly more to the lure/cookie/marker side) and have a lot more fun training now with better results to boot

I put a UD on my GSD Achielles and had such a fun time but never went back for a UDX, it is SO expensive!
I can't wait to talk to you and everyone, more on our obedience trials and tribulations! lol
Cash & Chris, Thanks for the welcome!
Corbin, Great! Well, as you can see, I went with the membership

I'll probably still like to Photobucket but I wanted Jinx as my avatar! lol
Henry, I liked your introduction and thought it was very cute!

Thanks for relieving me of the new kid status
