Jonesies Obedience Page
March 2006 we went to the VASC to try to get Jonesies CD-Title (Companion Dog) and we did!!!
We even had the highest obedience score of the weekend!!!
He was High In Trial and won this beautiful ribbon...
In September we went to the Versatility Australian
Shepherd Club Event in Germany.
We participated in Agility and Obedience.
Caroline Vroemen took some very nice pictures!

In March we were asked to join the FHN Obedience competition.
We both decided that's not really our thing...
It mainly took a lot of waiting...
