Busy weekend... USDAA & AKC... Happy Easter!

Rumor and I participated on our 1st DAM Team ever in USDAA. We had a good team (Abby/Grant & Temi/Anne) and Rumor was definitely the 'baby dog' of the group. We had some really nice runs and some runs that certainly didn't help out our team... but, overall, we ended up in 7th place and earned a DAM Q! I was thrilled with that since this was the only opportunity this year I was going to be able to have to try and earn the Q which qualifies us for Team at Nationals.

The 2nd day of the USDAA trial was another long day. I was thrilled with Dylan's PI Std run... he was a very good boy and earned a Q... only 1 more to go until we get to play in PII for everything. Rumor had descent runs in the morning, but with a few mistakes. I was thrilled when we had a solid (but cautious) run in Grand Prix and earned our 1st Q there -- only 1 more to go for Nationals in that tourney! Our Steeplechase run had a couple of errors, but he was still a very good boy.

We also packed in 1 day at an AKC trial... 2 great judges were there so I couldn't miss it. Both boys had fantastic Standard runs with only 1 error each... Rumor and I are still fighting for our last ExA JWW Q... didn't get it this weekend, but hope to next weekend!
