Hi Libby! I'm copying/pasting my updates
sent home, with edits now that I've seen more results, to
give you the full report on how we did! Hope it's not
too repetitive :) We started on Wednesday, Oct 31st and
finished today. I think someone got a video of our Steeplechase
run so when I get it, I will pass the link along.
Halloween was our checkin day and we got a fun run in the Grand
Prix Classic. Good way to burn off some travel energy and
check out the trial.
Thursday was Team Snooker and Team Jumpers. Max
had a fantastic and smooth snooker run with a 5, 6, and two
7s plus the full closing and a pretty good Jumpers run.
Fri, Nov 2:
LONG day at the trial today! Have I mentioned that you walk
all your courses for the day at 7am and sometimes don't run them
till 5pm? Anyway, this was a busy day for us.
Coming into today after yesterday's competition, our team Hairly
There (Max's teammate is a cocker spaniel from NC named Katie)
was in 24th place out of 115 teams - pretty good!
Katie and Max both qualified in Team Standard today, with only
one little bobble each on course, so we look forward to seeing
our standings tomorrow. This course hurt a lot of teams
in the standings, there were so many eliminated for going off-course.
Max ran clean in the Performance Grand Prix semi-final round at
lunchtime and looked great! We placed 13th out of 43
dogs. Unfortunately only the top 6 dogs advance to tonight's
final round (phooey on them for making it so few), but I'm thrilled
with a clean run regardless. At the end of our day, Max
also ran clean in the Performance Steeplechase semi-final round.
Again, not fast enough to make the finals, but hey we had a great
run. 4 A-frames, 2 dogwalks, and 3 sets of weaves with
hard entrances today and he got every single one of them!
So I can say I'm super proud of the big man today for doing everything
I could have asked of him and working hard the whole time.
Anyway, having a good time! Another Team run tomorrow and
some free time to shop and amuse Stan with all the excitement
(holy cow, if you think agility people are crazy, you should see
the flyball world championships on this same field).
------------------------------------------
Sat, Nov 3:
Popping in quickly as I'm about an hour overdue to meet Jeff.
Poor Max waited 8 hours for his Team Gamblers run. Did OK
in that one but I know we won't make the top 12 to go to finals
tomorrow (we were 23rd/115 this morning).
Stanley and I had the busier day. First I got to help out
with a herding demo using the tester's dog. The sheep didn't
really listen to me :) Then we took Stan in for a visit
with the goats. It turns out that goat poop is quite tasty
and a major distraction. You'll also have to factor in that
this ring was set up next to the insanity of the world flyball
championships (flyball is loud and CRAZY - while waiting, we saw
two big dogs collide and one knocked the other out), and there
were dogs and people along the fence of the herding ring - just
what a baby beardie wants to visit. That said, he settled
down and worked - he passed the instinct test and the
tester said he looked great for 8 months!
After that, we tried the baby agility course doing little jumps
and his very first tunnels and on-the-ground contacts. Once
he understood what I wanted, Stan enjoyed it, especially the jumps.
------------------------------------
Sun, Nov 4:
Max had a lovely run in the Steeplechase Classic today - nailed
2 more A-frames and a hard weave entrance. Worked very nicely
for me and I have no complaints! In the team competition,
we ended up in 20th place out of the 115 teams - pretty good,
especially given the famous folks/dogs we were rubbing elbows
with.
Now I'm just procrastinating when it comes to packing! Hope
everyone had a good weekend.

Greetings from freezing California! Max and I competed in our first CPE agility trial this past weekend. What a way to work off too much turkey! Despite endless amounts of weather (BAD fog on Friday, heavy rain on Saturday), we made the 2-hour-each-way drive to Elk Grove on Friday and Saturday - I got tired and pooped out on Sunday. I was really looking at this venue as a chance for more ring practice but it worked out well and we had a blast. On Friday especially, we felt fast and I mean border-collie fast! AND we did well: 3 placements and 4 Qs! Max even got his first CPE title - CL1-H - from 2 of his qualifying runs on Friday! We also got some very nice compliments from people on how well-behaved the Maxman was and how well we worked together in the ring and everyone wanted to know who I got him from and who his parents were - so thank you Beth and Jane! :) I of course was the endlessly proud mom of my sweet, smart boy who's kicking agility butt and having fun doing it, and he's still only 2 years old!
