My short term goals is to somehow find the 2000 dollars for all the testing that Petie needs. I don't want his life shorten by one day if I can help it and I want him to have a long quality of life. Hard especially since I haven't been working because of my health issues 
Then, just continue to have fun running him while he wants to and is able to. Titles or no titles it doesn't really matter in the long run. If he can't do agility, then we'll start competing in Rally which he also loves.
My pup is 8 months old, continue training and socializing her, take her hunting for the first time this summer, and then hopefully have her ready for agility fun matches and open trials by the fall (she can't start competing until she is 18 months in agility and only if she is ready), will probably do some Rally with her as well this year.

1: Basic obedience. I want her to be good and listen to me before taking any further steps.
2: Start her in flyball
I think that's going to be it for this year. She needs to be more obedient and has some growing up to do before we can start anything like therapy dog work. <i>Although</i> I'm going to look into seeing if there is a way Nya can become a therapy cat

Gunnar- continue his protection training and advance as far as we can with that. Begin RallyO or competitive agility training, and if we go the RO route, title him there. Continue to work on obedience.
Daisy- start RO, get her CGC and TDI and begin therapy work. She could probably pass CGC right now with a little tweaking on her training.
Bruzer- we'll just let him continue being himself.

This is subject to change depending on where the pups actually take us due to their young age!
Krosha: Train for obedience; get her critqued by a non bias judge for conformation; get a CD, venture into rally o and get a title or well started on a title there.
Cracker: basica obedience training; get her critqued by a non bias judge for confromation; get or be well prepared to get a CD

Well it all depends on $$$ As I have my internship this summer (I get to pay the college a whole semester's worth of tuition to work for 600 hours for some company..for free)
But I would like to get Kaiden's Rally Titles (all of them..he knows his stuff) Finish his CDX (needs one leg) Maybe some agility stuff, not sure..maybe some masters games titles.
I would like to breed Dekka next winter so I would like to finish her CD, I don't think there are enough trials to get her CDX (we can't do CKC so we do rare breed or NAMBR..same judges, same rules, diff venue) I would like to get a rally title or 2 on her, and finish her SGDC and ADC (need one leg in each)
Bounce and Dash are hitting their first conformation show this March. I will start Bounce in agility this spring.
Now NEXT year I have big plans (if I have a job..)
