It was our first trip to Crystal Lake, IL for agility (or for any reason). The strip centers were abundant. And the agility was fun. Our first run was in Standard Class. It was a fast course and we earned 18 MACH points for being 18 seconds under the standard course time. Then is was on to the Jumpers with Weaves course. We had a good, clean run, but learned a “new” rule which caused a disqualification or NQ. The rules state:
Dogs must enter and exit the ring with the leash attached to the dog’s collar or harness, or in the case of a slip lead, with the noose completely around the dog’s neck, with the other end of the leash held by the handler. Any entry or exit chutes added to the ring for the ease of getting dogs in and out of the ring are not considered to be part of the ring.
Well, we put on my leash in an area the judge considered to be the chute and he called us for it.
We are now up to 141 points (out of 750 required) toward our MACH (Master Agility Champion). Let’s take a look at the runs:
More agility next week.

Well, shoot! You are always so fun to watch and both runs looked great to my untrained eye. Lance, you’re already a champion to me. Best of luck in accumulating your MACH points! –K
