Youngsville Agility Club trial results

This past weekend was the AKC Youngsville agility club trial at Teamworks. It was a 3 day trial but Clover and I only competed on Saturday and Sunday. I also served as one of the chief course builders. Mike T. was the other one. We originally thought we would have a lot of entries so we set it up as a 2 judge, 2 ring trial. Once we realized that we were not going to have that many entries, it was to late to cancel one of the judges. With 2 judges, we finished early both days.

On Saturday, I was happy that clover hit her contacts and ran a good run in regular, but I had to restart her in weaves a couple of times so we didn't Q. The same happened in Jumpers with weaves. We did Q in fast class though. It was a novice class and we got our novice fast title.

On Sunday, in regular class she went in the wrong end of a unidirectional tunnel and I had to restart her in the weaves, so I got a refusal and off course. We did Q in the jumpers with weaves course even though I had to restart her in the weaves. We also Q'ed in the fast class. We didn't have to try the weaves there.

Overall, I was satisfied with the weekend. We had a 50% Q rate, I wish I could give her more confidence in the weaves.

Clover taking Canine Musical Freestyle

My wife has decided to take clover to Canine Musical Freestyle class at Teamworks.
I also attended the first class because I had to pick my wife up at the airport and take her directly to class. It looks like it will be interesting. It gives you an opportunity to train any trick that you would like.

A sad sad day.. We will meet Kira at the rainbow bridge...

Kira passed on october 15th. She was 12 years old and had been in declining health. She lost muscle mass in her hind end and after dislocated her hip and being unable to walk, a decision had to be made. It was time... She had a good life and we miss her....

Agility trial results

I know it has been a long time since I posted. Here are the final results from the NADAC trial at teamworks at the beginning of october.











I also attended one day of the moore county Kennel club trial. We ran 2 runs there but did not Q.

I am still taking lessons at teamworks but have 2 weeks off now because our instructor is at USDAA trial out west. This weekend is the Youngsville agility club trial at teamworks. It is an AKC Trial.
