Little Rock Agility Trial

We have never gone to this show before, and since it was so close we decided to give it a try. We had a very good time despite the chilly weather!! This show had FAST offered and they ran it first on both days. I did enter Foster and we had a couple of mistakes, so no Q's, but they were fun courses. However, having FAST had us running Novice after 7:00pm on Sat, and we didn't leave for home until 6pm on Sunday. One nice thing for those of us with Big Dogs, is that it was high to low on a Sunday!!!!! That NEVER happens! Foster got 2 1st place Q's in Jumpers, but we just couldn't eek out the clock in one Std run, and in the other I cut his approach to the dog walk too tight and he couldn't get his footing and had to bail. Otherwise he had some great runs!! Lexi had some beautiful runs as well, but we are still working on our table and weaves in competition. Moana had a little trouble with the clock on these tightly wheeled courses too. Cletus and Jennifer found a new rythym in their Jumpers runs and boy is Cletus FAST!!! Jill & George got 1 2nd place Q, and both George and Atticus had some great runs as well! I think Natalie made out like a bandit at the awesome raffle that the club had!! I think the club is rethinking what days and what time of the day they will offer FAST next year, so we will have to wait and see for next year.

This upcoming weekend is Lexi and I's first herding trial. Mike and Bay are also competing as well. They are both in Started for this AKC trial. Bay has 1 started leg on Sheep, so she only needs two more to get her Started Title!! Wish Lexi and I luck !!! It should definitely be interesting! Then next weekend Lexi, Foster, and I are off to Decatur for our last trial of the year and we are also hopefully picking up our new channel weaves!!!

Well that is all for now:) Hopefully next week I will have some herding videos to post!!
