Day three starts fresh and I was ready. My first run of the day was in Excellent B Jumpers with Weaves. That is the top class and no errors are allowed. I was focused and fast and got my first “Q” or qualifying run of the weekend. This is my first “Q” in Excellent B and that means I can start earning points toward my Master Agility Champion, or MACH, title. In this run I earned 9 points toward the 750 I need. I’ll talk more about points later. Now, let’s take a look:
My second run was in Standard Class Agility. Frankly, it was not so pretty. I ran a big “off course” with several wrong jumps and missed my weave poles. Nothing to brag about in this run, but Joe is to blame for the weave poles – I just did what he told me. Take a look:
My third run was minutes later in FAST Class and it was a beautiful one. I did a great send from fifteen feet away over the triple, through the tunnel and over the teeter. Look at me go! I qualified (no errors and a successful send) and took home a blue ribbon for first place. Here I go:
The day ended with another practice run in the new AKC agility test event, Time to Beat. Here it is:
Special thanks to our agility instructor, Anne Riba, for her encouragement and advice!
