Obedience History(I think)

History has been made today(I think)The Obedience bitch CC has been won by John Price & his Rottweiler,Thirtleby Good Looking OW(AKA Ava), there has been a Dobermann that won the ticket(& Crufts Championship)but I think Ava is the first Rottweiler to do so.

A thoroughly deserved win as she is a stunning worker & John is a very nice man

How lovely for the breed and for any that do obedience with a an 'unusual' dog!

yeh what a great thing for the breed, ps Does he come from just outside Glasgow? or have I muddled him up with someone else

Ment to add, there were a few rotties doing well years ago when I was a bit more active in obed, one was Varenka the bold bomber, I know he was working class C, but Im not sure if he won any CC's

John now lives nearish me in East Yorks(bit further up the coast)

I know the chap you are thinking of as I placed his bitch(think it was a bitch0many many years ago for the life of me I cannot remember his name, but it might have been McNeil-he definitely was from Scotland though. I cannot remember a Rottie ever getting to Crufts in the Championships.

John & Ava really deserved this & thank goodness the judge wasn't bias, he's a real gent

wouldnt it be nice to see more rotties in the obed ring

There are a few in the lower classes & one or two working above Novice

I think the chap from Glasgow is Billy McWilliams who worked Bamber Rastus in Working Trials and agility as well.

Well done to John and Ava

yeh thats the chap, think hes in the Moodiesburn area?

That's him I knew it was Mc something !

His heelwork was to die for I remember & his tail(well the stump)wagged all the time
