Fox Valley Agility Trial - St. Charles, IL

It was a fun weekend for agility! Lots going on... a group of us started the weekend by having an awesome, enormous sushi dinner -- it was delic!

Saturday the boys didn't have much of a handler until the afternoon. I didn't help Rumor in Open JWW AT ALL and then I was unfair and tested him way too much on the weaves by fading a ton and that just was mean to ask of him at this point. Dylan didn't have much success with his weaves, but he did have a nice dogwalk in Std! I'll take a good contact :) Rumor also got his 1st Q in Open Standard. It's amazing how helpful it is when I actually DO tell the poor pup where to go. Alex/Grant had a beautiful JWW run and finished their OAJ!

Alex's OAJ was a great reason to celebrate so we all had pizza over at the Rupp's house... lots of dogs were there!
Abby, Alex, Remi & Trapper
Dylan & Rumor
Fergus & Ryder
Zane, Scout & Wisp
Ricochet
Neo
Pretty impressive... 13 dogs playing and everything went quite smoothly! Rumor showed everyone how much he liked watching basketball and playing Wii!

Sunday didn't have any Qs for me, but it had a lot of fun events...
MACH Abby Jo Kickass!!! Whitney/Abby had 2 fantastic runs and they earned their MACH. It was super cool because Whit's grandfather brought her the MACH bar... of course, I started to cry.
We also had a live feed of AKC Nationals... it was fun to watch the Challengers round and the Finals. Lori Sue/Lit made it into the Challengers round and Laura/Bruce made it to the Finals! Deb/Tucker also had a great run and finished 18th in the very difficult 16" class... I think she was only 5 dogs out of the Finals.

A fun weekend!
