USDAA Saturday

MadCo held another trial in Crozet this Halloween-weekend, our 2nd USDAA trial. it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO freezing this morning (started for me at 5, as we live so convenient close to drive only 25 minutes). the runs kept us warm for a little while at least.
first Jumpers: he ran around like crazy, well no zoomies, but passing a lot of jumps and I had to get him back on track. was REALLY surprised that we still Qd (in 2nd place). what a difference between AKC and USDAA: in AKC he would have been allowed passing only 3 times. however - big smile on my side!
next came Snooker: last time I just watched this game + it looked good, so we gave it a shot - GREAT IDEA! wonderful run = Q with 1st place. look at his smile!
we enjoyed the long brake between me helping in the ring and our last run (even last dog this day) with lunch and buying a new camera.
then it was Standard: first, walk the course & doggy pay attention
good jump, then he didn't wanted to wait till the teeter was completely down and jumped off. there were some nice parts too: good weaves and an unquestioned down on the table, but the dogwalk in direction to the last jump was another missed contact... looks like he regained some energy during the break, safety first when holding a nap :) although I let him catch the lure like Geisha flying start and she's already ready for the kill exhausting day :) not only for Kenzo & me... Martin took lots of pictures as you can tell & Geisha not only got to play around: she had to share her love (even wanted to climb up on Lisa, see her little leg...) almost perfect posing, no more posing... more puppy-kisses some obedience in between
and meeting Duff the BC-pup there we could really see, that little Geisha looks like a BC with a short haircut, somehow... hrm ;) that's Kenzo & Duff, not Geisha! tired eyes let you know it's time to go home and hold a deep sleep
