So, this weekend we had 3 days of Not the Nationals agility ..it was double scored so we got our AAC scores& Qs but we also got Nationals scoring. It was super fun& we had a fabulous weekend competing.
We ended up taking 3rd in the 22" which was super awesome& unexpected. We also placed 3rd out in Steeplechase! Out of 6 runs (not counting steeplechase), we ended with 3 Qs. 1 starters Standard& 2 advanced Gamblers. I will most likely be dead before we ever get our 2nd starters Jumpers to move up.. They were fast, fast runs but with an off-course. Oh well. Can't win 'em all. I have a few runs that I'll post later but they aren't loaded onto youtube yet& I'm exhausted so I'll share the end result with you guys
Briar, showing off his loot for the weekend. Not including steeplechase because I didn't think I made the finals so we left before they handed out the ribbons. The next day, when I realized I was running for money, I'd missed the walkthrough& so it wasn't as pretty as the previous runs& we had a knock so we were 0.6seconds over when they added on my penalty Still, how proud is that brown Border Collie?! Not bad for my fourth trial ever& first time doing steeplechase!
And me& the handsome boy. Ignore the fact that I look ragged. It was a hot, hot, hot two afternoons+ flies ate us alive Friday evening. Even Briar looks like he's embarrassed to be seen with me looking so awful!! Let's just focus on those beautiful ribbons That brings our grand total to 7 Qs in just 4 trials! I am feeling like we may actually end up at Nationals next year if we keep it up.
