Success! This weekend at the NADAC trials in Vancleave, Darla got her Jumpers title, a leg on her Novice Weavers title (and 4th place) and two Hoopers legs!

This was our first try at Hoopers.... I'm sure they both would have done better if their handler had more experience! Bless their hearts, they followed my strange commands anyway. Maybe next time we'll get better times because I've figured out what I'm suppose to be doing. Sure was fun though!



Guy moved up to Open Standard and got his title with three first places. We still have a bugaboo with tunnels under the dog walk, but he did his obstacle discrimination and hit those weaves like a real agility dog!

Guy also got a leg in Weavers with a 2nd place and a leg in Hoopers.

Can't wait for the next trial in February. This is a great venue - worth more than a hundred training classes because you are in a trial atmosphere and you can help them through a problem.

Now, if I could just walk......soooooo sore this morning from all that running. Not only did I run my two SIX runs, I ran Jennifer's Matrix TWICE. Eight runs was a bit much for these old bones!

Since I entered as a Veteran handler, in Skilled, my dogs only had to jump 12". As you can see, they can clear well over a foot! Guy does his jump....

.........Darla does her "high" jump.
