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.
