Elsberry's personal weblog, talking about falconry, science, antievolution, computation, and the broken body he lives in.

She's now CH Snowridge Ritka Baywing OAJ NA TD CGC NA3 FDCHS TDI. The alphabet soup following is various titles for agility, tracking, Canine Good Citizen, NAVHDA natural ability, flyball, and Therapy Dog International. Before Ritka's bout with DIC (Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation), she only had the Canine Good Citizen title. There was at least one judge in conformation who passed over Ritka and cited her scar as the reason. When Diane told her competitors about that, they took up a boycott of the judge, since the Vizsla standard specifically states that honorable scars will not be counted against a Vizsla in conformation. Diane has been working Ritka toward championships in field trials, agility, and tracking. Beka at seven months of age has a performance title in tracking, so she's got the TD like Ritka.
