Great time! We had a great time! We had not done AKC for a while so being able to spent time with my AKC students was pretty cool. The courses for the weekend were very challenging and I am happy to say that all FAAD rose to the challenge. Baby and I qualified in our Excellent FAST on Friday and Saturday. On Friday 4 dogs qualified out of 36 and on Saturday 5 dogs qualified out of 36. She got the second highest points of any dog(all heights) and the fastest times both days - she placed 1st both days. Sunday she got the distance challenge but I rushed her and she took the bar down on the double (which was part of the challenge). Bummer. Friday we qualified in Jumpers with a first place (we never do that!). Saturday we qualified in jumpers (no placement) and Sunday we qualified in Standard with a second place (Baby wasted time on the table which took away our first place) :( No double Qs, but a great showing.
Baby is still not sound. She was limping all weekend but still wanted to play. I know you may think that wasnt a good idea to run since she was hurt, but I really feel she wanted to play. People watching agreed that I made the right decision because she really wanted to play,. Saturday morning Jim DeKeiffer gave her a massage and couldnt find any reason for the limp. I will be trying accupuncture next for her and Rush.
Our annual trip was a success! We had a great seminar - yes, I was the presenter, but it still went well (at least they told me they liked it) :) Baby dog was a star again (if only in my eyes). Karalee sets up a distance challenge at the end of the seminar. This year we had it with a BBQ, thats was cool. Ginny and Muligan couldnt be there but Jeanne and Gypsy were up for the challenge and joined us. It was some tough stuff! We were up for it too though and Baby, even with her injured leg loved the play. I ran Ice as well and he actually amazed me with his distance work. Not a problem he said, I can do whatever my sister can do! LOL. We had a great time and are already looking forward to next year.
This is from this weekend USDAA. Baby did another bang up job! I am so happy that I have her, that she is sound and we work so well together. She loves running and I think was a little disappointed that she ran so few runs. But here is a photo of her driving those weaves. Good girl! Video to follow later when I have it.
Here are some cutie photos .
