Rumor's USDAA Debut

This weekend Rumor got to play for the 1st time in USDAA at a RACE Agility trial in Crystal Lake. Until Dylan gets a CMJ to measure him at 21" (he has 2 regular measurements at 21"), he will just be coming to hang be the entourage.

Rumor did a very nice job at his 1st USDAA trial. He had many baby dog moments, but some very nice runs as well. Saturday he had a couple weave problems, but did much better on Sunday. Out of 9 classes, he ended up with 1 Starter Standard Q, 2 Starter Snooker Qs and a Starter Jumper Q. We had some other close runs, but I was proud of him. He didn't have any issues with the smaller tire or the higher a-frame, so that was good.

It was also fun because Rumor's littermate, Ben, was there doing his debut as well. Ben is a talker just like Rumor They both ran well for baby dogs.

Rumz did great. Other than his screaming of vulgarities at you on the course ;) Good thing you can't whistled off for dogs swearing on the course :)

You aren't kidding... maybe that's why the judge kept laughing at him *wink*

Rumor,
You are so fun to watch. Sometimes my mom lets me watch you on youtube. I love it. Your hair looks so pretty and flowing when you run. (did that sound gay?)
Love,
Remi

Remi,
I get to watch you on youtube sometimes too! I drool when I watch you b/c you run fast and I love watching agility on my mom's computer (nothing wrong with sounding gay).
Love, Rumor
