Wow, what a fantastic weekend! We had the DockDogs National Championship in Dubuque, IA this weekend. To start off the weekend we had an 8 pin bowling tournament... it was awesome and I had a major personal best of 226!!!
Rumor only jumped in the Super Elite Big Air waves as that is the top level to jump so it is against all of the best dogs (mostly Malinois and Labs) in the World... I was very proud of Rumor! My 37 lb peanut did a very good job... he pulled out a great jump of 25' 2" on Saturday with a huge crowd and that got him into the Super Elite Big Air Finals on Sunday! 3 years that Rumor has been to Nationals and 3 years he has made it to his divisional finals -- I was thrilled! We ended up 7th in the Finals... we really had a wonderful weekend and I couldn't be prouder of my little boy!
In addition to jumping well this weekend, Rumor also won 2 awards at the banquet on Saturday night:
Most Improved Dog (People's Choice Awards)
Top Ranked Border Collie for 2010!
Dylan was entered in Express Speed Retrieve and he had a fantastic weekend! He just squeaked into the Finals on Sunday with the 8th position, which I was thrilled about. I was trying really hard to make sure my reaction times were right on... and it was working! In the Finals, Dylan had a new personal best of 7.74 seconds! He gave me everything he had and enjoyed every second of it... we ended up in 5th place -- I am so proud of my black boy! :)
