undefeated in Regional competition.
28th-31st: AMCA National Specialty Show, Obedience/Rally/Agility Trials, and
Weight pull, Gettysburg, PA. In Rally Lucy once again qualified, this
time with a score of 99 and another first place, completing her Rally
Novice (RN) title. In the weight pulls, Ikey was 3rd place in the 61-80#
class. While this is his lowest placement at a National pull, I can't
complain because he'd endured a rigorous schedule all week. Sunday
they pulled, Monday they were off, Tuesday he pulled and won,
Wednesday he ran Agility for 3 runs, and then Thursday they were
pulling again. His nails were nearly worn to the quicks. Bella again
was 2nd place in her weight class. In agility, Travis earned the first leg
of his Novice FAST title. Layla completed her Novice Agility Jumpers
(NAJ) title there! It was Ikey's first trial. In FAST we knocked a bar on a
crucial jump so no Q there. In Standard we were two seconds too slow
for a Q--he popped out of the weaves twice, balked to sit on the pause
table, and when he did both the tire and broad jump in succession on
the course, I celebrated inside, got momentarily lost, cursed in front of
the stats table, picked back up and we finished well. Jumpers was
going well til Ikey didn't watch coming over a jump and there was a
collision. He crashed into the jump--a shame because he'd done the
weaves perfectly and was probably on good time and all we had left
was the jump chute at the end. Better luck next time! Lucy was 3rd in
her Sweepstakes class.
more will be added soon!
