There&#8217;s a creek to swim in and tons of crating space, plus awesome fun hanging out with peeps!<\/p>\n<p>Nina didn&#8217;t Q but I finally felt like we were connecting again, and Zhora! Got double Q #4 yesterday (on two tricky courses that she didn&#8217;t really enjoy) AND got jumpers today for a 75% Q rate! Good girl. (also Nina pooped in the ring today&#8230;I took her out just before she ran, but when you&#8217;ve gotta go&#8230;I was actually glad it was poop and not injury, since she slammed on the brakes before the second last jump and I thought she was hurt, but no&#8230;it was poop, I have included this video for your viewing pleasure).<\/p>\n<p>Zhora at this point is a moderate-speed dog, not the slowest in her height, but nowhere near the fastest (plus 12&#8243; has tighter times and is a more competitive height), I hope she will build speed as she gets more experience (I can see in the videos that she is having to think about things as she is running). It&#8217;s a nice change to run a dog where I actually have time to do some handling instead of just holding on by my fingernails, but nothing beats Nina&#8217;s balls to the wall style for sheer exhilarating fun! It&#8217;s nice to qualify once in a while though.
