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!!

Way to go! I could have done without the heat too. Hope it's not going to be a hot hot summer.
