Our 1st QQs!

Rumor had an amazing agility weekend!  We have been struggling a little in JWWs, but this weekend it felt like we worked as a great team!  I couldn't have been happier with him.

On Saturday Rumor had a nice Standard Q to finish his MX title!  To top off the day, we Qd in JWW for our 1st QQ!  He blew me away on Sunday when he was clean on both courses again and got his 2nd QQ!  All 4 scores counted towards World Team Tryouts scores as well... so it was a fantastic weekend!

The thought of maybe getting 4 more QQs before the end of November to qualify for AKC Nationals seems within reach!  It'll be a lot of work, but we're going to give it a shot  :)

Summer... busy, busy!

Wow, I can't believe how quickly this Summer has flown by!  Rumor and I have been keeping busy, but taking little breaks from competition... we have been enjoying the heat!

Rumor *did* qualify for USDAA Nationals... Steeplechase 26", Grand Prix 26" and DAM Team 22".  Unfortunately, Cynosports is the same weekend as DockDog Nationals and it has been a very difficult decision, but I'm going to go to DockDog Nationals this year.  Hopefully, next year Rumor will qualify for both USDAA Nationals and AKC Nationals.

Other than that, we haven't been doing much agility (training or trialing), but we have recently started to go to Michigan a bit and enjoy being right on the beach!  Rumor has been loving that 

Our next big event will be the DockDog World Championships over Labor Day weekend in Salem, OR.  I'm looking forward to that.  So, until then... I think we will spend some more time in Michigan relaxing and swimming - gotta love Summer!!!
