a little bobble gave us 2nd place but another great Open STD run for Midna π₯³π
Midna Q/1st Open STD @ Sheboygan Dog Training Clubβs Novice/Open only trial π₯ bless Midnaβs heart for getting that RDW exit to then turn again on that tight line to the double π₯²π₯²π«£π€ 1 more clean run until she never has to do the table again ππ₯³ alsoβ¦. when is the next ISC trial ???? π€£
A3 - SO close and elim because I verbally praised my dog for getting a Really Hard part & she pulled off π I didnβt see it happen but heard everyone gasp and didnβt feel the need to βsave the Qβ - she had a smoking run and that matters most (to me) anyways π I was REALLY worried about the potential off course jump out of the tunnel before the weaves, I was able to get more ahead than I expected but then pushed her too much from the entry. you CAN see her RDW here and it was soo nice π₯°π₯ the last threadle flip out of the tunnel before the last jump was my biggest worry on the course - but she got it !!! I just need to be quiet LOL overall, another fun ISC trial and I am grateful we got to play some π go Midna !!!! β€οΈβπ₯
A2 Q/1st πππ this was such a fun course (OK they ALL are were !!!) Midna had a SPECTACULAR RDW that you sadly canβt see on the video π₯² she hit it at speed, leaving zero question for the judge, including front/back low jackpot hits π₯³ then OF COURSE she nailed her RDW to weave entry - she is so good at those π Midna is such a fab teammate, so talented, always gives it her all and LOVES it !!!! these might be βlocal ISCβ trials - but lots of big names travel from different states to come. Midna often places if she goes clear so it is cool when it continues to hold true around some really great teams π€©π₯ it shows me that we are doing something right & have something special going - even with an βoff breedβ ππ
J3 - strong start & REALLY strong finishβ¦ pretty disjointed in the middle π totally my fault for the NQ by going too deep AND not giving info properly as she came flying out the tunnel. she never pops weaves - but also got some much needed body work done after so I am sure that played into it. I really wanted to win the tryouts bye (J3 + A3 combined winner) - as we havenβt trialed enough to qualify so far and our clear rounds from ISCh didnβt count towards scores - but we canβt always be perfect π regardless of results, itβs always SO much fun being out there with my Midna moo β€οΈβπ₯ (also interesting side note: almost no one I saw handles these starts the way I do & I think Midna is extremely efficient and without any question about 1-3 with βmy startsβ π€π€)
Midnaβs first run of the day J2 - really fast & fun but this course definitely wasnβt a βgivenβ and we had a slight bobble that caused an NQ when she back jumped. really really happy with it overall πβ€οΈ
Astraβs βdebutβ + this was her First Time in the ring doing agility ANYWHERE other than our hall !!!! she walked in to the ring 110% engaged with me & tugging. my goal for entering her for experience was initially just a solid chin rest + tugging - but she showed me she was ready for so much more !! so I was brave and let her off leash π she had never seen a wall jump before and I didnβt expect her to take it - I stopped to reward but she was ready to keep on going π she walked into the trial today, almost like she ~knew~ it was ~finally~ Her Turn with a certain happy, buzzy energy. & after her run, she was SO overfilled with joyβ¦ and me too ! π₯Ή I will be living on this cloud nine over how amazing she was today - thereβs just something so special about this little flea and our bond π₯°β¨
yeah Be (PYRWILD Brave Estara) !!! π₯π₯π₯ new PB in fastcat of 26.84 MPH for this little, 12 month old girlie π±πΎπ¨π¨ she also earned her BCAT title, is #1 ranked Pyrshep in Fastcat for the year & on her way to being the fastest female in the Lifetime rankings ππβ¨ this little star is even developing a fan base of people are excited to see her π thank you & congratulations to her owner π
Rd 4 !! Midna ate π© on the landing of the first jump, got a mouth full of dirt which threw me off just enough mentally that i didnβt connect for the weaves enough π€ despite the bobbles and faults, Midna still landed in 29th place - not terrible ! lots of really excellent parts, she got some really challenging parts, nailed all her contacts AND her threadles, yeah Midna !!!! π₯π₯π₯β€οΈβπ₯β€οΈβπ₯β€οΈβπ₯
hello from ISCh day 2 !! Astra loves watching all the jilities π€©
our second run, jumpers 2 with another clear round !!! a bobble (me) after the weaves which felt way worse internally than it looked π but we managed to end up 12th place - wow !!! yeah Midna β€οΈβπ₯β€οΈβπ₯β€οΈβπ₯
how itβs started at the ISC Championship !! Midnaβs first big event + first trial on dirt. we managed a clear round (no faults) ending up 17th out of 70-80 dogs !!! π±π₯³ unfortunately, a bobble cost us a ton of time but we held it together. i am very happy with the connection & teamwork we had out there π results can be seen here -https://akccompanionevents.com/DocAgilityStore/ISCh_2024_Round_2_Agility_J2_-_16.pdf
