Alaskan Malamute Club AKC Trial
Saturday we got double Q #5! Two first places but the points were rather stingy: 14 in jumpers (which was OK) but just 23 in Standard (I know, I know “just” is relative, since in the bigger heights many handlers would love to get that many, but having a fast little dog we usually get 30+, our lowest before yesterday was 29, so…). Today two stupid handler errors cost us another double Q – Nina was perfect and I was an idiot. Tough courses all weekend.
Jumpers QQ #5 (14 points):
Standard QQ #5 (23 points):
Nationals tally: 22/20 legs, 438/500 points, 5/4 double Q’s. So 62 points to go and just 3 trial days to do it in! Still mathematically possible but down to the wire now.
