Tina entered Crickett, Kelby and Anna entered Arya and I entered Vullo and Spanky in the upcoming Herding Instinct Test in Shamong, NJ.
After all the rain, I was a bit worried we would all be covered in mud but, the place was pretty dry. Crickett was up first and caught on quickly showing off her stuff. With some nice words from those present, Crickett and Tina walked away with a new certificate...Herding Instinct Test passed!
Now she is PrideNJoyz Up All Night CGC, HIC!
Tina and Crickett won over the crowd (as usual) and showed them a Cane Corso is not an aggressive breed and can excel at many things beside guarding. She is really helping open people's eyes to our breed and I couldn't be more proud of all my puppy families for putting a positive spin on the Cane Corso.
Next up was Spanky...she is a momma's girl through and through. She smelled the sheep said "Hi" to all the people but, she decided herding sheep was not something she was interested in doing. After some coaxing the encouraging, nothing. LOL. We will find what she enjoys but, it is not herding. :)
Roby Giannuli, Vullo's breeder, is here for a few days and took Vullo in for his herding test. No surprise, he did fantastic. To quote the evaluator, he has "a lot of prey drive but, will only herd for someone he respects." He passed his HIC!
Now he is Ch Poseidon dell'Antiqua Apulia, TT, HIC!
After a little wait, Kelby and Anna showed up with Arya (Fuoco della Nevaia x PrideNJoyz Afterglow)after being stuck in Philly traffic (no surprise there!). Arya was a little hesitant at first and tried to play with the sheep, which was cute. Then with some running around a a few "good girl's" she was ready to go and did good. Another HIC pass!
Now she is PrideNJoyz Stark Lady of Swords, HIC!
What's next? Maybe CGC or RN...who knows...

A lot has been happening her at the PrideNJoyz family!
Only a few months since the last post and there is so much to tell.
After Wally finished his AKC Championship he has been hanging at home relaxing. He loves been Greg's buddy.
Nationals was hectic! Had Jolayne here visiting from Canada, without Brinks, and Roby Giannuli from Antiqua Apulia kennel in Bari, Italy. The few dogs entered performed well despite training.
Now that busy season is over, we have ramped up dog season! I entered Glow in her final Rally Novice test and hoped we would pass. Of course, Glow performed fantastic and we walked away with a 3rd place ribbon and a toy! A big thank you to the Allentown Dog Training Club for putting on a well organized event! The judge even complimented Glow and we finished her Rally Novice title! Not too shabby for being away from rally for a few years. :)
After Glow finished her RN title, I entered Inky in the Coursing Ability Test in Freehold, NJ. I had a good feeling she would excel. She loves to run, is fast as a greyhound and has good drive. Tina and Crickett (Mar E Sol's Saggio x PrideNJoyz Aria) met us at the test. At first Crickett preferred staying with mom, after a few minutes of working with her, she got the idea and even caught the lure! Oops! The club let her rerun and she ran the course to get her first leg of three for the Coursing Ability title! Go Tina and Crickett! Inky was incredible and after two easy runs on Saturday and one on Sunday, she completed her Coursing Ability title! It was a super hot day and the dogs performed great and set very good examples for the breed. I had a lot of fun hanging out with Tina and Crickett and look forward to the next time.
