Happy New Year!!

Great weekend for the younger dogs and a great way to start the New Year off with some agility at BARK agilities USDAA trial.

On Friday, Zer, Hatrick and Trey all competed on their very first USDAA DAM team together, AKA the “Flyte” Line.” This was Trey’s very first USDAA trial and only his third trial. They did great! Although there were a few bobbles here and there they pulled out a Q!! They finished up as the 15th team to qualify out of the 24 teams that qualified.

Nikon continued to prove his consistency and speed by helping his teammates a Sheltie (Sparks) and a JRT (Pochi) to qualify and to place 2nd overall earning this a “silver” medal. This makes his fourth Team Q and his second placement.

Nikon and Zer placed individually in a couple of the team classes as well
TEAM Jumpers — Nikon 2nd, Zer 5th
TEAM Snooker — Zer 2nd, Nikon 6th (he did not get the last 7 since I fell on my butt!!)
TEAM Standard — Nikon 2nd

Then on Saturday during the snow storm Trey and “Hattie” ran in their regular classes and did very well too. Trey qualified with first placements in his starters/novice Snooker and Jumpers classes. He then earned a Q in his starters Gamblers class as well. Hattie Q’d in Advanced jumpers and then Q’d with a third place in advanced standard.

Wishing everyone a happy, fun & healthy New year!

Zer and Grace earned their first double Q, which also turned out to be their first double. Zer also earned his Open FAST title with 2 legs and 2 placements. On Sunday he Q’d in standard but had one minor off course in jumps. They are developing into a great team.
