Ripley earned her WAC today!!! 
She had consistent behavior and scores as last time, so it was nice to see her react and score the same on two different days, different locations, different people etc. She investigated the umbrella this time. If people remember, this is what she failed last time for not specifically investigating the center of the umbrella. That specific part was fixed and updated this time to the correct "investigate within 12" of the front of the umbrella" rule.
Her aggressor response was very appropriate, he wasn't *as* good and scary or noisy as her other WAE aggressor so she did not bark on first appearance (@Ravenbird)
. She did stand front and center at the end of her leash, ears erect, and silently watched him until he turned around and pushed on her. I'm happy to see her adjust and tone down her response for a less threatening person.
I know not everyone views the WAE as much but it is what we got to evaluate our breed. Other option is a lot of time and money for IGP. With the time and money conformation requires too, it would be an incredible challenge to tackle both. For what information the WAE does provide, I'm very happy with what I see. Now to finish her CH to earn her ROM!
She decided she wanted to lay down for her picture
Strawberry kids frosty to celebrate for being a good girl
