Hamburg All Breed Obedience Club AKC Agility Trial

After deciding NOT to go to the trial yesterday because of weather forecasts, I woke up at 4:30 AM and thought I’d just check to see if anything had changed, it had, so I drove to the trial yesterday morning. SO glad I did! Nina ran beautifully and picked up a standard and a jumpers Q (unfortunately not on the same day), with a 50% Q rate, which is great for her. Zhora laid down a GORGEOUS standard run today, one of her best runs yet, AND if she had qualified, she would have placed second (in 12″, that’s a big deal). She knocked a bar after watching the ring crew to see if she wanted to go visit, and by the time she got her eyes back on the course, she was too close to the jump to set herself up properly. Still a GREAT run for her, especially nice after she ran like a wild animal the rest of the weekend (the extreme cold here has meant not enough exercise AT ALL). Other than driving my car into a snowdrift at the Sunset Motel last night and needing a nice gentleman named Just Warren to pull it out, it was a great weekend! Fun with good friends, and playing with my dogs! Judge Dee Crofton’s courses were challenging, Q rates were low, but they were fun.
