Kat's Dogs Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Dazzle?s first REAL brag! She had a great first trial! She was happy and upbeat (although sometimes a little to much) for the whole three days. I went in knowing nothing about how she would act ? but now I know so much more. When to get her out, how much to warm her up, how to keep her happy while she waits, and how she acts at a trial. She had a good amount of really good runs. She got a lot of complements and pets, and treats from everyone! She did just as well as I had hoped she would ? plus more! I was very happy with her, and she was pretty happy too! For all you agility people, a basic summery to save time: To start off the trial this is what we had this: First run, a Qualifying ? CLEAN and a 1st place. (jumpers) (but due to a judge mess-up, no scoring on this run so no ribbons ? but we had a time and video) Second run, a Qualifying ? CLEAN and a 1st place. (tunnelers) Third run, a Qualifying ? 5 faults and a 3rd place. (standard course ? she knocked one bar) Some other highlight runs: Qualifying ? CLEAN and a 1st place (regular again) Qualifying ? CLEAN and a 1st place (jumpers) Qualifying ? CLEAN and a 1st place (tunnelers) The total was 6 qualifying scores and four 1st places. On any run that she got a clean run ? she got a first place! (and by a nice amount too). On runs that she didn?t even qualify in ? she STILL placed in the top 4 because of her speed! Tired puppy with all her ribbons: And I have to brag for little shih-tzu Peanut too. She HATES the teeter totter and shuts down if she so much as sees it. I have done a lot of work with her and she has come such a long way so I entered her in 2 jumpers runs. On the first one, she was a bit slow but got a first place! Then on the second one ? she made time with ZERO faults! And another first place! She was so happy when she did her runs, and that is a big thing for her. So, here is her award picture too: Todd Coon (?Infinite Exposures?) got some great pictures of both dogs on the courses that I got. As most of you from around here know, Argus Ranch is one of the worst places to take pictures so I don?t have any from the trial. But we do have video! All around, a great weekend! We had a ton of fun at can?t wait for our next trial? Oh yeah, and I will see about posting the video of her runs in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaisingRiver Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 woohoo!! can't wait to see Dazzle in action one day. If you're coming to the Clark County fairgrounds ever, be sure to let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hey - BIG congratulations, especially to Dazzle, but also for Peanut. What a great start for Dazzle. Sounds like my Kirra - if we run clean (a BIG if), we'll usually place first, at least down here. My trouble is that she's so fast, we'll more often than not DQ for an off-course - either because I haven't even seen something as a trap - or because my steering wasn't quick and precise enough. It's all good fun, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anda Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Kat, congratulations to Dazzle and Peanut (and to you, too) for the success at the agility trial! I was wandering how they did, now I'm glad you posted the update. Poor exhausted pup, what a great girl she is! Can't wait to see the video of her! Now you can breath and relax Anda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
