Last Trial of 2013
Well, this was our last agility trial of 2013. We came away with three Q’s, Jumpers, Time 2 Beat and Standard (which was a squeaker). PLUS there was a fun match and so Zhora had her first time ever running agility somewhere other than at home and where we train. She is entered in her first-ever trial (one day in January), so this was a little test drive to see how she was doing. I was thrilled with how she did – perfect start line stays both times!
Nina Jumpers (15 points):
Nina Standard (24 points) – I didn’t call her to the tunnel (which she couldn’t see from where she was), and so she ran to the weaves, she called off like a champ, but did body slam them, so the judge originally called a wrong course, but then reversed it because Nina didn’t put a paw through the first two poles…what a close one, and THEN I had to get my frantic screech out for the tunnel call-off near the end…everyone was saying “nice try” and then someone said the judge was talking to the scribe, and as it turned out, we Q’d! Our last run of 2013, nice to finish with a Q, even if it was a nailbiter!:
Here is Zhora’s very first time trying agility anywhere other than home or training (we had Lickety Stix to reward with, since they make no mess):
And here is her second (WITH 12 WEAVES!):
2015 Nationals tally: 0/4 double Q’s, 2/20 legs, 39/500 points. Reno here we come!
