National Shiba Club of America AKC Agility Trial
Some tough, deceptively trappy courses from judge Linda Syner. I was thrilled with how my girls ran, even though the Q’s were few. Zhora earned her highest point total and fastest yards per second in standard to date, including a THIRD PLACE, which is tough to do around here since we trial with some of the fastest 12″ dogs in the country, she is running really well, she has really sped up a lot and is starting to run like she really gets the game. Nina had a 50% Q rate on the weekend, unfortunately not on the same day. As is her usual pattern, the more we trial, the better she gets, the mojo was really working for us.
Nina Saturday Jumpers (first place and 19 points):
Zhora Saturday Jumpers (not a Q but really happy with how she ran, that first bar down seemed to take FOREVER to fall):
Zhora Saturday Standard (third place and 23 points! Best yet!):
Nina Sunday Jumpers (not a Q but I worked distance on the weaves and was very pleased! That off-course yellow tunnel sucked in MANY MANY dogs):
Nina Sunday Standard (first place and 31 points):
Zhora Sunday Standard (not a Q but nice run):
