Trials again.

We were at Southern Districts last night, I did Masters and Open while Hannah just did Masters. It was a night of "almost " for us, we almost got it right but did not qualify. I got clear in Agility but over time due to a slow start; then did the discrimination in open but Keith crossed the line and I did a wrong course. The pic shows me at the top of the Scramble in the Discrimination zone.
Jumping was going well until I missed a jump in Masters, then we were almost home in Open when Keith stopped too soon and sent me over a wrong jump. Hannah dropped a bar in Masters Jumping then went the wrong way over a jump, but ran well. Agility was not too good after she went up a dog walk instead of the tunnel, so Kathy pulled her out. Hannah fell off the dog walk in training (she turned round in the middle of it and lost her footing) so we did not want to risk another accident.

Tiffany RAE

 Tiffany has got her Rally Advanced Excellent Title, so she now has RAE added to her list of titles.
It has been a long road for Tiffany. She backed into the fridge and hurt her leg practicing the 3 Steps Backward station and would not do that for ages. Then there was the time she was waiting at the Honour station and did a marking wee to get disqualified; and we won't count the times Keith did the wrong station and  run out of points.
At last she has her 10 Advanced and Excellent at the same trial qualifications. In fact she has 12, getting three out of three trials at the Gundog Club Double/ Double. Keith was trial manager and was too busy to do the fourth trial, but she did not need that one anyway. The photo (taken by Lynne) shows her jumping over the bar at the Send Over Jump station.
