AKC trial day one

Nice day. good weather. sometimes cool sometimes hot but nicely overcast.  Hopeful for tomorrow but they are saying high 80's yech.

My student Meg started the day with 2 stellar runs on her corgis in HT. Unfortunately one was under the same judge as last year so it doesn't count. Bummer. But Cricket was on fire and Meg did a great handling job.  and Nick was Nick but he did work  them .

Barb with Lizzie got her first STD sheep leg Yay. They both did a really   nice job  with Lizzie doing a really nice outrun and trying to  hang onto the sheep.   They did a really nice job in INT ducks but no Q.  :-(

Betty and her 2  BC's bumped up to INT sheep and gave it a good try, but we need some more handling lessons , and we need to work on the outrun a bit.   Dogs tried hard and I was pleased with them and with Betty.

A few students same to watch and cheer us on.  Elaine and Michelle and Muffy and Kathy St of course. Thanks for the support!!

Dare had a really nice run in ADVd -- A little bobble on the crossdrive so we ended up with an 88 1st place and Reserve HIT.  I pulled him from his ADVs run because he ringed them on the lift and it was going downhill from there.

Dually had a nice INTd run 1st place and a smoking INT s run 1st place but trouble on the crossdrive too.
HIT came out of the STD class with a 91.
W'ell see what happens tomorrow.
