Tina is on the right of the photo.(Oscy is on the left)

She has successfully been around the show ring and  successfully completed advanced obedience training.

Tina was always the alpha bitch and would keep the rest of the Bouviers in line.  When I played chase and catch with the younger Bouviers, Jovi and Dena. and she thought they were getting too rough with me when they caught me, she would come running and growl at them.  Or if I wanted to run and get away from them, I would run behind where she was and they would not dare follow!

She used to do a recall at a super fast speed and was a joy to watch.  One day after she had her CD title and she appeared to be lying in the front yard enjoying the sunshine, I called her and she didn't move.  Puzzled, I tried again, no response.  So then I yelled "Tina, COME!"  Up she got, in slow motion, with her head down and a sleepish expression on her face and very, very, slowly came.  She had taken a small pot with an oncidium orchid from its table in the patio to play with and  when she heard me coming, she lay down over it as she knew that was not allowed. She looked so embarrassed at being caught!
