FLASH! ORION GAINS 6 more MACH PTS in 1 RUN!
ORION GAINS TWO USDAA ADVANCED AND AN AKC OPEN AGILITY TITLE JUST BEFORE
HIS 6TH BIRTHDAY--STILL RUNNING STRONG! Carrie writes of him:
"Orion managed to squeeze in three more open titles before he turned six. He had a nice jumpers run to get
his 3rd USDAA Advanced Jumpers leg and title. He also "saved my bacon" in true Orion style on a tough
gamble to finish his USDAA Advanced Gamblers Title. So now he'll be competing in masters jumpers and gamblers.
Finally, on a tricky Dan Dege course, he nailed the send to finish his Open Fast title. The Q rate for this course
was around 15%."
ORION ACHIEVES ANOTHER, HIS THIRD BREED RARITY! HIC (Herding Instinct Certified) by the American Herding Breed
Association) TITLE, given with many compliments from a surprised judge (who acted as his handler to boot!). Need
your Dane to be gentle to your livestock? Here's a way to be sure they can round up the horses or bring in the
cows. We pride ourselves on our biddable & versatile dogs! See his "brother"
here herding sheep.

Then next time they finished Open Regular and Open Jumpers titles, and started in Elite with a 1st in Jumpers!

Orion added a title & legs
towards two more at the wonderful charity event "Wags For Wishes" in SoCal. Orion finished his NA with
clean runs & great times (as much as 24 sec. under SCT), started his hunt for his OAJ & picked up two legs
towards his ASCA-CD while visiting Califorina with his family. He also got a lesson in dock-diving, watched carting
& lure-coursing (popular events that were sold out early), met Greg Louganis & got his picture in the paper,
while owner-handler Carrie Burns was interviewed. This is a wonderful event with everything a dog might want to
do, & it's for a good cause, so check it out: <WAGS FOR WISHES WEBSITE>
ORION: FIRST EVER BREED RALLY ADVANCED
TITLE, #ally Excellent Dane & TOP TEN for OBEDIENCE & AgilityToO!
Rally is a brand new AKC sport as of 2005. Orion went out in January & got his Rally Novice title. Then in February he went out again to get his Rally Advanced title, which he finished in a downpour in Phoenix Saturday the 19th of February. He finished his Rally Excellent title in three tries. Now onto to the RAE hunt! ORION is the first Dane ever to finish an Advanced title in Rally. He's got 9 titles to date & legs on several more--and he's just now three, and he's his owner's "A" dog to boot! Congrats to Carrie & the Big O.
