Brindi's 1st AKC Q!

Brindi, Darby, and I had a great time this weekend. This was Darby's second trial and she did her best to make it memorable. :) She tried to weave through the jump wings. Not once, but twice. She pulled the wing on her the 2nd time. She ran the rest of the JWW course fine, except she didn't "see" the weaves. Darby did a good job all weekend and I'm having a lot of fun with her right off the bat.

Brindi was very good this weekend. She ran well for me Saturday in Jumpers and did really well in Standard, up until she had to do the teeter. She's not for sure about the new teeter. Sunday was a different story for her. She started off with a great Jumpers run. She was a victim of tunnel suck though, it got her twice in a row. After that though she ran a great course. Her Standard run was absolutely AWESOME!! She did the teeter (still with hesitation) and did great throughout the rest of the course. Well, until her handler did something weird right at the broad jump. So she ended up having to take the broad jump again, this time correctly. (Poor dog, shame about her handler :)). And after all was said and done she had earned a 2nd place and her 1st ever AKC Q!!!! We took 2nd to John & Monet (who also got their first AKC Q!)

Check her out, doesn't she look very proud of herself? What a girl!!

It was a lot of fun this weekend!!!

Um, well except the heat!!!

Darby's Mother's Day gift

Mother's Day was Darby's first agility trial. She did GREAT!! Her first run was the standard agility course. She came very close to qualifying. We got a little tripped up in the weave poles. Those are tricky :)

Her second run was Jumpers with Weaves and she did AWESOME!!! She got a little tripped up in the weave poles, but we got through them. I was truly amazed at how well she did. Ended up she got a 1st place and her first AKC Q (qualifying score)!!! Wow!

Check her out!!




Brindi and Cosmo also ran on Sunday, but didn't have as good a turn out. Both girlz had moments of brilliance and I know they are very close to earning their Q's too. Poor little Cosmo was very distracted during her runs. Her allergies are pretty bad and she's now on steroids in conjunction with her allergy shots. Poor little girl!

Next trial will be our local agility club's AKC trial in Princeton next weekend. Can't hardly wait!!
