From Maria Marshall:
Cherokee earned her NADAC Novice Regular and Chances Agility titles at the UDAC Veterans on Parade Trial November 15th and 16th, 2008. She was definitely a star as she came away with four 1st place Qs in her Regular runs and Qs both days in Chances. She also had a 1st place Q in Jumpers on Sunday, and 2nd place Qs in Touch and Go and in Hoopers (our first time to run a Hoopers course!).
Meg wasn’t feeling 100%, but did earn a Chances Q on Saturday and a Hoopers Q on Sunday, despite the awful heat. It’s great to see my dogs doing so well in multiple venues. Of course, they had great foundation training- thanks Sandy! |

From Maria Marshall:
The Fiesta Cluster in Scottsdale AZ turned out to be a great trial for us! In the first two days, Meg earned her 3rd Q in each event for all three of her Novice Agility titles — Standard, Jumpers with Weaves, and finally, FAST. In the final two days, she earned Open qualifying legs in FAST and then in Jumpers, earning a 4th place! Each run, she becomes more responsive, confident, and consistent. In Meg’s first tournament, she dropped several bars; this weekend, only one bar came down in 12 runs (and that was in FAST!). Not bad for such a young ‘un- Meg turns two next week. As always, Sandy and Bruce were there to cheer us on. Many thanks! |

Zelda’s first competition was a great success, with 4 Q’s at the January 20th CPE in Murietta. She finished with a first in Snooker, Full House and Jumpers and a second in Standard. I think she’s a chip off the old block (her dad is Geronimo). Thank you Sandy – we’re hooked! |

From Jennifer Brennan:
Shayla had an AMAZING chances run at the UDAC Oceanside trial Jan. 26. While most of the competition worked the line in an “L” shape through the course, I layered 3 obstacles out and pushed in on an angle. (Picture running the long side of a 90 degree triangle while the dog has to work the other 2 sides.) I was the only handler to try this path and when she completed the course, cheers went up from people watching in the tents around the ring. What a great feeling, to do something that other people view as “too hard” and make it look easy. To top it off, she earned her Outstanding Elite Chances title with that run! |

From Maria Marshall:
We attended Arizona Wags for Wishes, January 18th and 19th, Friday and Saturday. This was only our second ACK Agility event.

Thanks, Sandy, for all your tips and support. |

From Sandy Crook:
Our very best "Q" at the Arizona Wags for Wishes AKC Trial, was with Geronimo aka Stud Muffin. It was the last day, last class of a 3-day trial, Sunday, January 20, 2008! Something to be said about endurance. With testosterone raging and illusions of grandeur with Lucy in season, Geronimo got a lst Place Q in a very fast and challenging Excellent B FAST class. He was one of a handful of qualifiers and the only qualifier in all lower height divisions. So I forgave him for blowing a Double Q during an extremely difficult Standard course where he lost his mind running out to a chute (something with a skirt on)! |
