Rusty got his S.T.A.R. Puppy Certificate
Rusty's last night of puppy obedience was last night and he PASSED!! We filled out the paperwork for him to get his AKC S.T.A.R puppy certificate. Evidently, once I send in the paperwork he'll get an official certificate, a medallion and a magazine. Pretty cool! I've listed the things from the AKC site that we had to do in order to pass. Rusty LOVES obedience class so we've already signed up for the next class. YEAH RUSTY!
