Manhattan, IL - AKC Agility

It definitely felt like Fall this weekend at the Manhattan trial. Both of the boys had some nice runs and some not-so-nice runs.

Dylan: On Saturday D got the FAST send, but we weren't very efficient getting points so we didn't get a Q in FAST. His Std run was beautiful all except for that darn A-Frame... the yellow just scares him so much. He *did* get his 2nd Exc A JWW leg and I was very surprised b.c. he normally doesn't run well at all outside. But, he had a nice run and I think the cool weather helped out a lot. Sunday wasn't quite as nice. D just wasn't feeling it so we just went in and had fun... he got to do a lot of hanging out and still enjoyed himself.

Rumor: Rumz got a 2nd in Novice FAST. He was a good kid and the send was very nice for the baby dogs. His Std run was ok, but his contacts weren't as solid as I hoped. He knocked a couple bars in JWW on Saturday, which was very unlike him, but the run was fun and happy. On Sunday Rumor had a hard time with FAST. I think I got really out of sorts once he launced off the A-Frame... that is not ok! His Std run had a very marginal A-Frame, but he had a beautiful start line... his teeter was gorgeous and he didn't hold his 2o/2o for the dogwalk, but he knew it and stopped right on the ground afterwards. Rumor got a Q in JWW to finish his Novice title! He was a good kid. I think he was the first one in his litter to do that... I'm sure that will be his last "first of the litter", but I'm ok with that :)

Now we have a couple weeks off of agility...
