BUGARI F.C.I. AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG

Va Bene JOYRIDE CD TD -  Roxy - Activities

Roxy passed a Companion Dog exam with a good mark at the age of only 9 months ! She scored 177 points out of 200.

Roxy on the 20th of June 2009- the day she passed the Companion Dog exam

With her intelligence, courage (she is not afraid of fireworks, gun shots nor even a veterinarian), well developed self-confidence, speed, agility, lots of drive passion for movement and the coexistent ability to concentrate, love to jumping and gripping, retrieving ability, 

I see her as an excellent dog for all canine sports!
She is always ready for action

She has great natural skills and passion for tracking. This might have come with the blood from her grand mother Aminya Molly Mudlark TD who   gained a pass at TD4 level.

Roxy passed the exam for 178 points - good note and gained the title of Companion and Tracking Dog when she was only 14 months old!

This made her first ACD in Poland with such a title and one of few of all breeds in Poland (10 in 2007, 7 in 2008 and about 10 in 2009).

I am extremely proud of having such a dog!

Roxy has had her first IPO trainings and we want to develop her abilities in the field of defence.

At the first session she started to bite and as expected was not afraid of the gun shots and whip.

We have started agility training in the summer of 2009 with one of the best Polish clubs Extreme dog http://www.extremedog.pl/

and she enjoys it very much.

The trainer says that as for a beginner dog she finds the obstacles very well and gains a really good speed.

I am not much interested in Frisbee but my friend tried to throw her a disc a few times and she did very well.

During the Polish ACD meeting that took place in 2009 she took her first herding lesson

with the Polish herding Winner Piotr Polewski.

 He said that she needed further training to increase her self confidence towards the sheep to develop her gaming instinct with them

but for sure she was interested in the sheep.

She looks very hypnotised and is completely blind and deaf when ever she sees a bird and then rushes to chase it :)
