Chana is somebody finally ;).

News flash! Chana obtained "le CSAU (certificat de sociabilité et d'aptitude à l'utilisation)" and she can participate in dog sports in France!

The CSAU exam is the first thing doggies have to pass to do any dog sports in France, and dogs should be able to 1) show no fear to strangers, 2) loose leash walk or heel, 3) show no fear to noises, 4) stay 30 seconds when the handler is absent, and 5) come when called.

Chana passed it with remark "excellent" and we are excited to get a license to do agility competitions. Thank you Dr. Vet for confirming Chana's ID (microchip) and special thanks goes to Noëlle from CCDU for helping us take the CSAU exam.

As she does not have the paper (registration), she cannot do all of the exams. It is better than nothing though. The Canadian Kennel Club rejected our application to obtain the Performance Event Number (PEN) as Chana came from a backyard breeder. She was nobody in Canada but at least somebody in France.
