Neversink’s Road To Belvedere **, Trooper (Pine Run’s Top Gun CD MH WCX*** OS x Amber’s Gemstone of Belvedere JH) won the Qual All age stakes at the Tidewater Retriver Club Qualifying field trial and also got his fourth MH leg today. Jim says that “Troopers work ranged from solid to amazing. He is a blast to run. For now, he is “Neversinks Road To Belvedere***”

This amazing you dog is the sire of Beach’s puppies. Beach is a full litter sister to our Snapshot, Zer and Hattie. We look forward to seeing how the Trooper x Beach puppies grow up. The talent behind both Trooper and Beach certainly give these pups a great foundation for their future careers in performance or just as champion’s of the couch.

Congrats to Trooper and Jim on a well deserved weekend.

On Saturday at the Scottish Terrier Club of New England’s trial Snapshot earned her 9th QQ with first placements in both classes. Nikon and I had great runs but a mis-handled chute to weave pole sequence in standard and he could not get the entry to the poles, so no Q. But he did Q in jumpers with a first place. Kris ran Trey in Open Jumpers but was not ready for the speed he turned on so they had a missed jump and a dropped bar. I then ran him in Open Standard but he did a one hit wonder on the aframe and then knocked two bars. He also did not stop on his dogwalk contact, he got it, just did not stop. Still more work on those contacts to do.

Today, I ran Trey in Open Standard and we had a very good run earning our second OA leg with a first place. He stopped on his dog walk contact today and did a much better aframe. Nikon then Q’d in standard with a second place and Snapshot had a really nice run but a small handling error caused a refusal so no standard Q. Then in Jumpers Kris decided to let me run Trey hoping that I’d Q on him and she wanted the Q. Well, we did our best earning his second OAJ leg and a first place. It was bit crazy between running Trey in Open Jumpers handing him off to Kris to hold while I took Nikon from her to go run his excellent Jumpers class. Nikon Q’d in 24″ jumpers with another first place completing his 12th QQ for MACH 4. Snapshot also Q’d in her 26″ excellent jumpers class with a first place as well.

Grace and Zer earned two QQ’s this weekend with placements in one class each day. They are really developing into a nice consistent and speedy team.

Zer (Echo x Flyte) and Grace had a great Saturday at BARK! Agility’s spring USDAA trial, earning a Super Q with a First place, a Q in Master standard and Master Jumpers both with placements. Then they went on to earn their second Steeplechase Q with a third place in the first round. Zer went four for four!

Hatrick (Echo x Flyte) and Hannah had very nice run in Steeplechase running clean but just missed the cut off for the qualifiers.

On Sunday morning Cash (Bear x Flyte) and Lora earned their OA title at JAG’s AKC trial in New Jersey. Then this super team went on to finish their OAJ too! He’s now Pine Run Kiowa I Walk The Line RN OA OAJ OF.

Zer had yet another great day at BARK earning another Super Q, a Master Jumper’s Q and took third in the Steeplechase final!!

A big weekend for Nikon, Snapshot and Trey in the obedience/rally ring. Today Nikon took first place in Open A earning his first CDX leg! Then to top it off Nikon, Snapshot and Trey then each earned their last leg for their Rally Novice titles, so they are now….

Down south in NJ, Cash and Lora continued their winning ways on Saturday by earning their second Open Jumpers leg with a first place. Then on Sunday they earned their second Open Standard leg. This young team is just cruising along. They’ll be in excellent before they know it.

These Flyte kids are just racking up the titles, but most importantly their owners are enjoying the ride to the fullest.

Cash (Bear x Flyte pup) and and Lora earned their Open FAST title this morning with a second place. They then went on to Q in their first Open Jumpers and Open Standard classes taking first place in both! Way to go team Pony Boy.

I am so pleased Lora found her team partner in Cash.

What a good weekend for all those competing.

First, Trey (Bear xFlyte) started the weekend off by earning his second CD leg on Friday, but had a problem staying during the down stay on Saturday so no title. Next time hopefully.

Then down south in NJ, Lora Durr and Cash (Bear x Flyte) had a great day earning their second Open FAST leg, and then fininshed both their Novice Agility and Novice Agility Jumpers titles by earning the last legs he needed. He also earned placements too, a first and second place.

Good day for the youngsters in agility here in NH.

Trey (Bear xFlyte) double Q’d in Open Standard and JWW class with two first places. Snapshot (Echo x Flyte) earned QQ number 8 with two second placements! Just 2 more QQs for her ADHF (Agility Dog Hall of Fame) title. Hattie, (Echo x Flyte) also did great Q’ing in both Nov Stand and Nov JWW with a second and first place. Go Baby dogs.

Pine Run Dog’s swept all levels taking Qs and placements in all classes today, pretty cool! The Flyte puppies continue to do well.
