Root Beer Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 After a long hiatus (from competition, not class), Tessa and I returned to Agility competition this past weekend. It was so GOOD to be back!! We earned 3 Q's in 3 runs, in spite of a few little blips! Here was Tessa's nicest run - her Snooker, which was our last of the day. (I did blind cross one jump beyond where I meant to - that closing would have been even nicer had I done the blind where I should have!)

Beach BCs Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Good job! For the life of me, I will never grasp Snooker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Beer Posted September 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Snooker is the most fun when you make a mistake in the opening and have to think on your feet to rectify it!!! Tessa and I love Snooker. I have a feeling I will not love it with Bandit! It is definitely a game that favors a moderate paced dog who can still be correct with on-the-fly handling!!

Beach BCs Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 A judge once told me "there are gamblers dogs and snooker dogs...your dog is not a snooker dog." LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Beer Posted September 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Yep. And Tessa is not a gambler dog. If not for non-traditional Jackpots, we would have been in trouble. She had done a few nice gambles, but most she doesn't. We also struggle to get enough points in the opening Bandit will rock Jackpot!! It's funny that CPE put those two games together as a titling class. They are polar opposites in so many ways!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maja Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Nice! (but I'll stick to sheep work, this is way too much activity on the handler ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
