I agree with Flatcoatluver. The OVBCC seems like a great team and I'm sure they worked very hard to get as far as they are now. Everyone was a novice at some point.

I am still very novice in agility with Pixie and sometimes I feel a little out of place even with the other members of the club I train with; they are all competing at excellent/masters level and we havn't even earned our novice title yet.

Even so, every time we come back from a trial with our 2 Q's out of 9 or 10 runs, it means the world to me that we actually Q'd and placed a few times. Even though Pixie is the slowest and most ADHD border collie mix you'll ever meet, I love her and am proud of her anyway.
