I think it's Fall...

We had our annual agility trial in Michigan where we play some agility in the morning and the dogs get to play on the beach in the afternoon... what more could you want?!?!  It was definitely very chilly this weekend, but Rumor still had no problem swimming and running on the sand  .

Rumor had 2 really nice Jumpers runs where he knocked the double in the 1st run and I pulled him off a jump in our 2nd run.  We had a clean Standard run on Saturday and I pulled him from Sunday b/c the dogwalk approach was really scary to a slick dogwalk... not worth the risk.

2010 STIHL Dogs & Logs World Championships

Rumor and I just returned from Salem, OR yesterday from the STIHL Dogs & Logs World Championships!  It was quite an event and just an honor to be invited. 

We competed in the Big Air division against the top jumping dogs in World and the competition was tough.  Little Rumor (about half the size of all the other dogs) held his own and had at least a 24' jump in each of the waves... unfortunately, that wasn't enough to move onto the Quarter Finals... but we still had a blast and he definitely had quite the fans! 

I'm glad we made the trip out West and it was a great experience... the toughest competition I have seen at a World Championship yet!
