HOT Ribbon!

Dixon was hot this weekend! But there were some ribbons!

Magnum (above) earned his Excellent Standard Preferred Title with a First Place.

Merlot (below) earned two Open Standard legs, with a Third Place on Saturday and a First Place on Sunday.

Echo and I still have work to do on contacts. They are something we will need to on a regular basis - just like the weaves. I was pleased she got Sunday's weave entries.

Donna an Ube came to visit on Saturday. Ube is looking very grown up!

Christy and Zorro participated on Saturday, I missed their runs. Same with Jennifer and Kerry on Saturday but I did get to see their Standard run on Sunday. They did a super job on the closing sequence which looked

like a large "P". It had a pinwheel with a front cross and then two jumps out - in Novice.

We wish Maggie good luck in PA at her Nationals with Bird. She had to leave Riley home because of a possible neurological problem. She asked to be remembered in our thoughts and prayers.

Good Luck this weekend!

And think Cool Thoughts!

Stay Cool

Here are some Alaska photos to help you stay cool! We had good weather where it counted and we saw eagles and whales!

How does Saturday sound to everyone when we switch to weekends?

In November and December we are planning to offer 2 hour Focus classes on the weekends. We should be able to get 4 or 5 of these in, weather permitting. Time would probably be 9:30 a.m. If you like Saturday we will stick with that in January.

SUPER STARS!

Congratulations to the SUPER STAR weave handlers and dogs this week in Class #1!

Not only were they doing 6 straight weaves but they did them from jumps! I didn't get to video everyone, but here are two dogs that didn't get taped last week.

First there are two clips of Gem followed by a slow motion showing how much work and concentration goes into weaving! The last clip is Lea taking the weaves from a jump. She is two stepping the weaves.

Keep on having FUN WITH WEAVES!
