Taz finished the requirements to be a Grand Champion last weekend in Portland, Or. She was handled by Jean Gauchat-Hargis. She qualified for the Eukanuba Invitational show in 2011 and this will also qualify her for 2012 but we aren’t going to Florida. We are pretty much done with conformation and are concentrating on agility for now. Our next trial is March 3, 4 & 5.

Vhoebe rocked at the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge Finals in St Louis. She even made Sports Illustrated!
Vhoebe in the news:

Xoey is now Certified Cadaver Dog, NAPWDA.

Here is a super jumpers run from last weekend. I am so happy with this run since it has been very hard for us to Q in this class. Usually one dropped bar (which is a failure) or a handling mistake. Over the summer we have been working on Susan Salo’s jumping program since it was apparent we were missing something. I have seen great improvement on Fever’s take off points and striding in practice and it is evident in this video as well. She looks very balanced and smooth, not launching herself early toward the jumps as in the past. I love the squeaking she does when she wants to GO FASTER!! And right before the tunnel look at her dig in and accelerate! Ground speed is her forte.
She won this large and competitive class with a time of 22.51 seconds on a course time of 42 seconds and 157 yards. That is 6.97 yards per second! It was a super fun course that was flowing and allowed different handling options. I almost chickened out on the long lead out push, but glad I didn’t. This run made my whole weekend and we were one missed Aframe contact away from a QQ.
