November 20-23,2009

Lots of Q’s and several new titles!!!

Trey earned his first two Novice Standard legs both with placements and he finished off his Nov JWW title being handled by Kris, also with placements. He’s looking good and pretty fast considering we have not yet asked for speed.

Nikon continued his winning ways…earning 2 more QQs (sitting at 9 now for MACH 4) on Saturday and Sunday including another double placement on Sunday (3rd & 4th). He also Q’d in Standard in Friday and then Jumpers on Monday.

Snapshot had a good weekend even if our Q’ing rate was lower then usual since we double Q’d on Saturday with double placements but it was also a double title since we earned our MX and MXJ. On Friday although she did not Q (popped pole in Standard and a dropped bar in Jumpers) sher BEAT Nikon’s times even jumping in the 26″ class while he was running in the 24″ class!! Her times the rest of the weekend were not as good but it should her potential. She did also earn a jumpers leg on Sunday with a first place. She came 34 points short of qualifying for the 2010 AKC agility nationals. Too bad next year!!
Overall

Flyte was probably the most consistent over the weekend…qualifying in Jumpers on Friday to finished her AXJ title with Kris earning all three legs !!! Wahoo. By earning her AXJ title Flyte helped her sire Marley complete the requirements for his Outstanding Sire title (OS). Since we forgot to move her up for Saturday Flyte still ran in Ex A Jumpers but earned a bumper leg adn was just out of the placements. Flyte and Kris then went on to earn Flyte first two MXJ legs. She also earned her first AX leg as well.

Zer and Grace had a great weekend earning 2 Q’s in Ex A Jumpers and finishing off his AXJ title. Then on sunday he also earned another MX leg.

November 1, 2009 — With all the “family” gathered for the Hudson Valley Golden Retriever Club’s all Golden Agility trial it was the perfect time to get a “family” photo. It was supposed to be Flyte and her “kids” but we also threw in Uncle Nikon for the fun.
