“Crazy Yella” strikes again. 🥊🔥

Absolutely dog walked the APPDA “EL” This dog gave me everything he had.

Last year in Alabama, we came up short twice, no out on the final scenario. A week later, we went to New York and trialed twice. First day, I pulled him in obedience. Second day, I shot our shot again because I wasn’t satisfied with our performance. We made it all the way to the last scenario… but still left knowing there was more in the tank.

We came back home to Alabama, tightened everything up, and got back on deck. This time, when I took his flat collar off and walked him to the start cone… I knew it was his moment to shine. ✨

Congratulations to “Crazy Yella” — APPDA Entry Level ✅

Also thanks to @dogmanjan for hosting another great trial and always for the encouragement and guidance 🫡
Thanks to the APPDA community and all the decoys,
See you all in the 1s

I got the opportunity to show in the 1’s for the first time at the 2025 APPDA nationals this past weekend in VA. She did much better then i thought she was going to do….there was a lot of obvious over arousal but she held off really quite well until the end when i pulled her.
Super proud of this dog, i see where the holes are & i cannot wait to fill them & get back on the field. Thank you to all of the decoys who worked this trial safely and consistently. 🎯
