OFA hip prelims "good" at one year. 

Chaos' hips at 24 months were borderline so we'll redo in 6 months.  He began leaping my 5' perimeter fence in August 2007, to go play with the neighbor's dog.  Then he began leaping the cross fences breaking my two acres into four large areas.  It took me until May 2008 to get the fence raised two feet on both the perimeter AND cross fences, so I could keep him where I put him.  I'm hopeful that the repeat x-rays in September will appear normal now that I have eliminated the impact from those high jumps.  He is just too athletic for his own good! 

   In December, 2007, Chaos passed his Therapy Dog certification with flying colors!

In March, Chaos competed in his first NADAC agility trial.  It took him most of the first day to figure out what it was about, but he finally qualified in one class:  Novice Weavers, 3rd place.  The next day he Q'd four out of five times (the fifth (Tunnelers) was a clean round but over the allowed time).  He received 1 1/2 legs in Novice Regular with a 1st and a 2nd place.  He qualified in Novice Chances Skilled (that class is just pass/fail) and got a 2nd place in Novice Jumpers.

In April, at a games trial (only TouchNGo, Tunnelers & Weavers classes offered), he Q'd in all four Novice Weavers classes (taking 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th places), thus completing his Novice Weavers title and beginning working towards his Outstanding rating.  He also got 2 Novice Tunnelers legs with a 1st and 2nd place, and his first Novice TouchNGo leg (4th place). 

In May, he attended 5 of 8 days of NADAC fundraiser trials in Gillette.  He picked up a second Novice Jumpers leg, three Novice Chances legs, two Novice Hoopers legs, six Novice Regular legs (one was a 5-point Q; rest were 10 point- Q's, with two 2nd and four 3rd places), a TouchNGo leg (2nd place), two Tunnelers (a 3rd & a 2nd place), and one Weavers.   He thus finished his Novice Chances, Regular and Tunnelers titles.   He also got his Outstanding Novice Weavers Rating!

He's still not particularly graceful.
