QCDTC

Another sunday night and another trial must me another update :)

Leland and I (and mom) drove to Cincinnati to Queen City Dog Training Club's AKC Trial. It's a fun little trial: 1 ring, 2 judges, Excellent classes only in the morning/Novice & Open levels in the afternoon. Usually we don't earn points at this location...it's loud of crowded. But not this weekend!!

We started off STRONG: 11 points in jumpers, 14 in standard saturday. Oh, and DOUBLE Q NUMBER 19!!! LE was fast, fast, fast!! I really appreciated those who noticed and told me how fast Leland was :D

Sunday...ugh. Going for the final double Q for MACh (don't worry, we "only" have 393 points of the 750...) we get 11 points in jumpers again (yay!) and then...he misses his weave entry in standard. Big stinkin' heart breaker. No final double Q :( and worst yet, only 36 points for the weekend. We were aiming for 40. These little misses are going to add up and keep us from MAChing at PCA :(

But...I did get asked if I would like to run MACh6 Zesta :) OF COURSE!!!!!!!! So we ran, and I think we (and by we, I mean she) looked awesome. My handling was not too bad either. That is, until I pushed her into a tunnel instead of the dogwalk. Ahhhhh! I messed up a MACh6 border collie, that's pretty darn hard to do. We'll get um next time, though :)
