AKC Agility, Hattiesburg, MS

Fri and Sat we were in Hattiesburg, MS running AKC agility. Bern managed a Q in Open FAST on Fri - 1st place. He was minus a complete set of weave for his other 4 runs; however, he made very good efforts at weaving all weekend.

Grace almost managed a Q in Novice Jumpers on Fri. She smashed the first bar because she decided that pouncing on her tug leash would be fun at the start line. She crept forward and then didn't have enough room to clear the first jump. Her weaving effort for that run was the best all weekend. She did all contact obstacles perfectly... only herding me if I was not giving her information soon enough according to her. She has starting woofing at me on the course when she begins herding. Based on these signs I think her confidence level with the game is getting very solid. She is just beaming while she waits at the start line now.

Michael Loftis was at the showing taking pictures. There were some good ones so I'll post links when they become available.
