Hops picked up her NA and NF titles this weekend at MCOTC’s agility trial!
I am extremely proud of her. She held her start line stays in all but one run, she hit all of her contacts, she took her directionals, and she didn’t get a single table fault.
She had a really solid weekend overall. She went 3/5, and in the two non-Q runs (both JWW) she only knocked one bar in each. She is now moving up to Open Standard and Open FAST, and once we grab that one last Novice JWW Q she’ll be fully in Open. This was only her fourth AKC trial!
Our last trial of the year is this coming weekend and we’re only entered for two days. Fingers crossed the courses are nice, but honestly, regardless of what happens, I’m so proud of my Hoppy girl and how far she has come. 🍻🐾
I have to thank my wonderful trainer, Jennifer McDonald, who always answers all of my questions and shows me how to fix everything I’m doing wrong.
Thank you to the club, the judges (one for the course map, one for the actual judging), and everyone who helps put these trials on.
Thank you Aaron Gold Photo for the pictures of Hops!
