Bacci FR1 Leg
Hey, everybody! Just wanted to share the news that Bacci (Bogan x Juju litter) got the first leg of his French Ring I title today. Our final score was 181/200. Not bad for trialing in 82+ degree weather in Florida after driving down from our 30 degree training weather in Connecticut! Just a few weeks ago, we were training in 19 degree weather! And to top it off, Bacci took down a Ring III decoy in the flee attack. Here’s a short video…
A huge thank you to Michael for trusting me with such an awesome dog! We could go for the second leg of our Ring I tomorrow, but it’s supposed to be even hotter. I think I’ll let him take a break from the heat. :)

Grand Champion Taz
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.

Brando (Bogan x Joujou) earned his BH the weekend before Thanksgiving. This is a pass/fail combination obedience & temperament test for those that don’t play in Schutzhund. We had a great time. I was very happy with Brando’s happy attitude and focus.

Fever Jumper’s Run
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.
