BACK TO TRIALING

KK and I ventured back into the agility ring for the local AKC club the first weekend of November. It was her first time back in the ring since July. My goal for her was to just get through the weekend, stamina wise. She took to the ring like she had never been sick. She ended up with 2 Q's in T2B and Master JWW. Her speed was back but not up to top speed yet.

We then went to McKinney a few weeks later where she managed a 50% Q rate and even placed amongst dogs that compete basically every weekend. I was pleased with her progress seeing as we have done very limited training.

Over Thanksgiving we went back to McKinney for a 3 day trial. She had many high points but I got very sick and we had to leave the trial early. She managed several Q's despite me.

The next weekend we went to Shreveport where she had a stellar weekend, going 6/7 Q's and earning her very first Double Q with a Double Blue! I was very happy with her. She's coming right along for a little dog that was so sick this summer.

We are now on an agility hiatus until late January when we will start back doing some USDAA!!
