so this past weekend we had a Nadac agility trial.
I have started all four shelties on learning 2o2o for the dogwalk- so nobody got entered in any contact classes this weekend.
on Friday, the brown dogs just did jumpers- and unfortunately for me, there weren't a lot of open jumpers dogs. so after Cranberry ran (a good run for him even if he didn't qualify), I had to put him in his crate and get Dixie out. her warmup was jogging to the ring to go straight in as she was the last dog in their class. I was having issues without a break between the dogs but she did not have any and had a beautiful run.
on Sat, I entered only Cran in Jumpers, then they were both in Weavers and Tunnelers. Cran had a great Tunnelers run and got his Elite Tunnelers title so they are both in Elite there until we stop running... Dixie also Qd in Tunnelers on Sat. Cran had some issues in Weavers on Sat but Dixie Qd. Then on Sunday, Cran Qd in Weavers and Dixie popped out at the very last pole. she took three tries to get her weaves and she's usually not that off with them- could have been me though. with only four dogs in open weavers and two handlers, we alternated running so very little time between dogs for that class. I had to get someone to hold Dixie because I would not have had enough time to get her out of the crate and to the ring. In Tunnelers, Dix was over time because she came out of the yellow tunnel and I had to send her back in. All three dogs had issues with that yellow tunnel. Three dogs- yes, this weekend was Jocu's agility debut. He ran in Novice Jumpers on Sat and did really well for not having been in an agility class, for never jumping a whole course and for not getting much practice in the last 6 months or so. He was over time in Tunnelers on Sunday because he did exactly what Dixie did. Cran actually did not go into that tunnel at first but when he did he was still fast enough to make time and qualify.
Dixie was the only one to run in Jumpers on Sun and she had a little tunnel suck issue in that run
ribbon pix to come....
