Gracie's First Agility Trial

Gracie went to her first agility trial today, an AKC trial in Ft. Worth. As you can see, she didn't Q in Standard because she wouldn't do a down on the table. But her contacts and weaves were just great! That little dance around the tire at the beginning got her a refusal but that by no means was the end of her run.

In Jumpers a short while later, she did earn her first Q!

Gracie has been weaving for her dinner for 8 or 9 days now, and everything started to come together for her around Tuesday. So the fact that she did her itty bitty 6 poles in each run the first time with no errors was a pretty big deal.

Mimi was at this trial too and I'll post about her runs later.

Wow... Gracie did a great job! what a nice jumpers run!

I LOVED the jumped after the weaves the first time I saw it, and then laughed three more times when you repeated it! Pure joy!
