Big Excitement in Decatur !!!

Foster, Lexi, and I went to an AKC trial in Decatur, AL this weekend! After Jennifer figured out the secret to keeping Lexi in her weaves in a trial, she did ALL 12 weaves 5 out of 6 runs!!! I was ecstatic!! Wanna know the secret??? Bend over while she is in the weaves. Yes, we will need to phase that out. No, I don't train like that at all!!! But it sure did wonders for her confidence!!!! YEAH!!! So, she got her first open Standard leg this weekend and 4th place. Yes, she did do a sit on the table:) WOO HOO!! Lexi got 2 legs in Open Jumpers, and 1st place on both runs!!!! It has been a while since we have Q'd (Novice), expecially in jumpers!!I am so thrilled at her progress!

Foster and I ran and got a Double Q on Saturday!! He also Q'd in jumpers on Sunday! Moreover, he was having a blast playing with his Wubba and wrestling with Lexi in the field at the arena!!!

Jennifer and Moana came so close to Qing a few times this weekend!!! Jennifer and Cletus made HUGE progress this weekend! He stayed on the start line for both of his runs!!! He did the table!!! And he improved leaps and bounds in staying with Jennifer during the runs this weekend!!

Tammy and her dogs were at Decatur as well. Check out her blog (Chartam Shelties and Border Collies)to see how they did.

Here is a little video of Lexi and the weaves...
