Oh Yeah, You Blend

Some really nice moments (including crazy fast Zhora) but not our best weekend. Zhora earned two JWW Q’s, and a really nice Premier JWW Q (on a course where she and Denise’s Zealous were the only dogs to qualify, perhaps you needed to have a Z name to qualify?). Nina had some gorgeous runs (including a 5.5 YPS JWW run with one lousy bar down) but between us we couldn’t manage a Q. Judge Laura English gave us some fun but very tricky courses. I feel so lucky that Nina is running the fastest she has ever run at nearly 10!

Nina Sunday Jumpers (one lousy bar, such a nice run, 5.5 YPS):

Zhora Sunday Standard (I didn’t connect with her after the jump after the first tunnel, which is what sent her off course):
