North East Ohio English Cocker Spaniel Fanciers AKC Trial
(isn’t that a mouthful?).
After arriving on Friday morning with just two dogs to run before my walkthrough (Jenn and I went to see Adam Ant on the Thursday night, well worth it!), we ended up with just one Q (in Jumpers) for the weekend (one Q is better than no Q’s!). And this run was a nailbiter at the end, when I ended up out of position and nearly cost us the Q, thank goodness Nina knows to drive to an obstacle! We did get a stay almost every time, a stay with LOTS of sass, but a stay! She was starting to knock the first bar with the “drop and run”, so we’re back to trying for at least enough of a stay to get combobulated.
Nationals tally hasn’t changed much: 8/20 legs, 163/500 points, 0/4 double Q’s. So 12 more legs to go, 337 points, and 4 double Q’s.
