Large -- Medium Taun We, in her home-away-from-home. She had to wait here for me when I went to walk the courses. Dogs aren't allowed in the walk through. | |

Large -- Medium Taun We | |
Large -- Medium This lady in the red jacket is in my agility class. She's helping set up the course. The judge for this ring is behind her, in the yellow shirt. There were 3 rings and 3 judges. | |
Large -- Medium Here's a general shot of the ring-side camping out of dogs and their owners during the trial. | |
Large -- Medium All the agility equipment came in two big trailers. The scores were posted on the outside of the trailer; that's why some people were staring at it. | |
Large -- Medium And here are the scores! "Colors" (pick one of the 2 courses to run) Level 1, Taun We got no faults, qualified (for moving up in the CPE levels), and took second place in the 12 inch category. | |
Large -- Medium "Jumpers" (only jumps and tunnels) Taun We was HORRIBLY distracted by dear, sweet daddy who came to cheer her on. (See the video he got). Taun We got 23 faults, all of which were for going over time by 23 seconds (see the 37 second time limit for 12 inch dogs at the top.) She did jump a jump the wrong way; she probably should have lost points for that too, but since she didn't qualify anyway, maybe it just didn't matter. Actually, besides being distracted, she didn't do that badly. | |
Large -- Medium "Wildcard" (in 3 places, pick one of 2 obstacles to do) Her time was long due to daddy distraction, but she stayed within the limit and only got 5 points off for going through the tunnel the wrong way. She came in 3rd and qualified! See the movie Jason took. | |
Large -- Medium "Full House" (get points by doing as many obstacles as you can in 35 seconds) Taun We did really well. I was caught off guard when they moved this event up in the schedule. The rules seemed kinda complex, but eventually I caught on just in time to pick lots of good obstcales for TW to do. Note that we got 28 points; we only had to get 17 to qualify. | |
Large -- Medium And finally, "Standard" (all obstacles in set order) TW did REALLY well this time. Too bad the other mini-poo beat us out by 1 second, or we'd'a had first! | |
Large -- Medium Here is Taun We in the car, ready to go home with all her ribbons! | |
