Busy, Busy, Busy

Well, we've been nonstop since Del Mar - including another DockDog competition the weekend after in Phoenix, and then a 3 day AKC trial this past weekend here in Vegas. Its been nonstop - but at least now we'll have a few weeks off - until we pack up and make our annual long trip to Chicago to visit our good friends!

First, our weekend in Phoenix - it was a BLAST and well worth the trip down. Tractor not only came in 1st again in Speed Retrieve finals, every single score he had was under 6 seconds - and his new personal best 5.67!!!! We also worked on his EV issue, and he managed to grab 6'10'' and come in 3rd! His big air was great for him too - so we ended up coming in 4th in Pro finals and then 2nd in Iron Dog! For as much DockDogs as he did in March/April - I figured he'd be slowing down, but he put up a great performance all weekend. :)

This last weekend was an AKC trial here in Vegas, and it was again SO nice to do some agility in our hometown. I can't even begin to describe how awesome he was. He ran SO beautifully all three days, all three runs - I could not be prouder of him. The couple runs we didn't Q in, were completely my fault (of course). He pulled off 6/9 Qs, all first places - a new title (for his Open FAST) and even got to compete in his very first Excellent level class.

Next up is a month off! Yep.. we won't be doing any trialing/competitions until middle of May when we get out to Chicago. We'll be out there for 5 weeks and plan on trialing and dockdogging as much as we can while we are out there!
