HABOC AKC Agility Trial
Another wonderful trial put on by HABOC! Judge Pam Sturtz, my first time trialing under her, designed some really tricky courses, but really fun to run, she was really nice to show to. Some tough challenges and some low Q rates, but you really felt your skills were getting a workout, and you need that once in a while! Zhora put up QQ # 25, and earned her second Open FAST leg and another 10 points toward her Time to Beat 2 title. Nina had a NQ weekend, although her jumpers NQ today was one I was very glad I videoed (thanks Sue!) because I could see clearly that I caused her to knock the ONE AND ONLY BAR. Zhora was 5/6 on the weekend, just a weird and uncharacteristic R at the weaves yesterday. There were almost no 8″ dogs, so I only had four or so dogs between them, so I was TIRED.
Zhora Saturday Jumpers (NQ, weird weave R, but even Zhora can’t be perfect I guess):
Nina Saturday Jumpers (NQ, obvs, but nice run):
Zhora Saturday Standard (Q, first place, 30 points, love to see her really digging in and running):
Nina Saturday Standard (NQ but such a nice run, good job of getting ahead of her in the weaves and supporting it properly):
Zhora Open FAST (Q, 71 points):
Zhora Sunday Jumpers (part 1 of QQ #25, second place, 14 points, and she saves the Q in the weaves when she keeps going after a bad entry!):
Nina Sunday Jumpers (I drop my arm and turn my shoulder as she jumps the blue non-wing and cause the bar down, but look at that front cross after the weaves!):
Zhora Sunday Time 2 Beat (Q, 10 points, first place, some experimenting, her distance work is really coming along, getting ahead of her in the weaves is not ready for prime time, although I didn’t support as I should):
Zhora Sunday Standard (part 2 of QQ #25, first place, only dog to Q in her height, 27 points):
