Off to Washington for our first Agility trial! -- (And PICS of the three pups!)

[binka_nugget]

It's 5am. I should probably be sleeping but I'm too excited to sleep! In the morning I'm heading down to Washington for our very first agility trial! Yippy! For those familiar with NADAC, I will be running Keeva in Tunnelers on Friday, and Jumpers, TnG, Weavers and 2 rounds of Standard on Saturday. Then the weekend after that we're doing our very first AAC (Agility Association of Canada) trial! =) Wish us luck!

I also figured I'd include some photos since it's been a while. =)

I actually went to Washington for a trial in February but Keeva came into heat that very day so I took Kai along. He ended up limping so I pulled him out. Some photos of him while we were passing time..







My friend Lisa let me run her dog Andy for a round of Tunnelers (all tunnels). We managed to qualify and get 10 points towards his 30 point title! It was his very first Q! (And mine too!)

I don't have any good photos of Keeva doing agility unfortunately.. but here are some recent ones! =)




She LOVES her tennis ball!




And my little old man..



I also have a video of Keeva practicing weaves on Youtube!

Sure sounds like fun! Your three are all so beautiful. I was just thinking it'd been a while since I'd seen pictures of them. I really like the picture of half of Keeva's face and the tennis ball. =)

first of all.. CONGRATS!!!... best of luck on your next one...we{ll be expecting pics

LOL that is exactly how tennis balls look with the punkies too.. haha

we´ve sure missed your crew...btw... have you seen any Keeva sibs?

[binka_nugget]

Thanks guys!

I've only seen photos of her siblings.. I know a couple of them are doing schutzhund.. But by the sound of things, keeva seems to be the busiest! She's done it all.. Agility, herding, tracking, obedience, disc dog.. Next up is rallyo!

Good Luck!!! I love NADAC, especially tunnelers, it's my absolute favorite!

[Daisy and Delilah]

Good luck!! It looks like you've got some adorable runners. Andy is as cute as a button too!! Great job to both of you!!

[GiantSchnauzer]

Your pups are beautiful.

Good luck at the trial.

Have you tried Flyball yet? We have a Mal on our team who does very well.

Congrats! I saw your video on facebook! One day were going to have to figure out a time were we can meet at a NADAC trial.

Thanks!! We'll be at the RAT trial at Argus Ranch on June 21st. I'm definitely doing your club's next trial! (PS: Don't know if you got my msg on FB but I found out we have a mutual agility friend! Charity and Duchess take classes with our instructor!)

So just an update.. we did 5 runs (I spaced and missed one). Keeva got clean runs in Jumpers and Weavers. So we have 10 points towards her 30 point title! Yippy! We almost snagged a Q in standard but we missed her contact in the second last obstacle. We went home with 5 pretty ribbons so I was a very happy momma! We have our first AAC trial this weekend.. hopefully we snag some Q's then too!

Here's a video of Keeva's first Q! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV2WZLoB4Uw

It was Novice Jumpers. Keeva normally runs a lot faster but this was after a 6 hour drive and a few other runs.. so she was exhausted. I knew I was going to lose her after the first tunnel which is why I stopped as far away as possible from the other tunnel.. but I forgot that there was a jump right in front of me and almost ran right into it LOL. We recovered and got our Q though!

We haven't! I want to try it out though! She lives for tennis balls and she's got wicked speed!

I belong to another club called Whatcom Agility Team. They always go to the rat trial and camp out as a group, but I sadly couldn't get that weekend off, or I would be going. I guess we will meet in Oct. then. BTW I will have to talk to you about our mutal friend.
