Jean's Third OTCH!
On July 15, 2006, Jean
Rodowski earned her third OTCH title in Deland, Florida,
with her German Shepard Dog (GSD), Spice.
An OTCH is a very
difficult obedience achievement that requires many
placements in Utility B and Open B with points assigned
based upon the number of dogs beaten in each class. The
number of points depends upon the placement and the
number of dogs that competed in the class. They must win
several blue ribbon first places with at least one in
Open B and one in Utility B. In addition, they must beat
other OTCH level dogs that are competing in the very
same classes. While many dogs can achieve a UD or UDX,
it is the rare combination of talent by both dog and
handler that leads down the road to OTCH. Not only did
Jean accomplish this feat with her GSD, Spice, she is
the breeder which makes their OTCH even more special!
