Good morning, Ramona.
Just wanted to send you an update on Lizzy. We are doing well and training hard. She just passed her temperament test with the Clackamas county sheriffs office. She got a perfect score!! The temperament test is more like a CGC test, pretty much all the same elements. She had to heel off leash within a crowd (right turn, left turn, and about face). We had to do a figure 8 around two other officers and their dogs and then sit and have the same dogs turn round her. She had to pass the non-reactivity test to an officer in a bite suit (the SAR team does not allow dogs with bite experience to be on the team). And she had to be left alone on lead with me leaving the room and then be handled with an officer. She was amazing and quite the charmer. Everyone loved her sweet demeanor and small frame.

We are getting quite close to our certification test. I am hoping to get her certified by the end of the summer. She is great, I just need to work out some of my own kinks with line management and working blind trails. Being able to read and trust your dog on a blind trail the hardest part, in my opinion.

I hope all is well with you and your family. Thank you, as always, for giving me such an amazing dog. She is beloved by everyone she meets.
