Hannah's ADX pass

My baby Sister has passed her first Agility Dog Excellent course on the first attempt! She only got her AD title 22 days ago, and here she is with her first ADX pass. It was not easy for her, Kathy has an injury to her foot and it is strapped so Kathy can not move as well as she should, but they got round the course with a few seconds to spare. Hannah went visiting on her Jumping course so that was a non qualification.
I was in Masters, and we were doing very well until about halfway round when we got mixed up a bit and I passed a jump on the Agility course, and I missed an entry into a tunnel on the Jumping course, but we got round all the difficult bits. Keith is happy we are getting better, the new training system seems to be working.

Night Trial

We were at the trials last night, doing Open Obedience. The pic shows me returning over the jump with the Dumbbell in my mouth. I was going well, until we got to the 3 minute sit stay when I forgot what I was doing and lay down. Keith was not too upset, because we qualified in all the other exercises. Hannah was not happy in her heeling and did not do a sit, then she had a scratch in the Recall, and when she finished scratching she chased after Kathy. She passed everything else so maybe things are not too bad. That was the last Obedience trial for the year for us, so we get a few months break while we brush up on our skills for next year.

Grampians

The touring Tollers were at the Grampians yesterday. We went for a day out to the Grampians mountains, named after the Scottish range.The pic shows us where we stopped for lunch near Lake Fyans with the mountains in the background. The last time KnK were here was during the drought and the lake was almost dry, just a puddle in the middle, but now it is full again. That was before either of us were born. After the drive we went for a run at the dog club grounds, then back to the caravan for a good feed and a long sleep.

Warrnambool Holidays

The trials are over, we are in holiday mode now for next week.
Hannah got her AD title, the pic shows her coming out of the tunnel half way round one of her runs on the weekend. I did several runs with no course faults but with time faults, and several runs with no time faults, but 5 or 10 course faults, but no clear rounds.
We spent today recovering from the week end of 24 runs between us. We were worn out and hardly moved until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Luckily it has cooled down a bit so we will be doing the tourist thing for the next few days.

Hannah AD

Hannah got her AD Title today, she just missed out by being distracted on one jump in the morning trial, but got everything right in the Afternoon trial. Hopefully we will have more news tomorrow.
