Luxx is working her way back up through Novice and Open Preferred since I dropped her to 20". She had a great weekend, one dropped bar away from a perfect weekend as a matter of fact. She got a first place Open FAST Q and a second place Novice Jumpers Q on Saturday. On Sunday she got another Open FAST Q, an Open Standard Q and a Novice Jumpers Q, all first places! The Jumpers Q finished her Novice title so she's all Open from here on out. She was a super little old lady. My highlight with her was her FAST on Sunday which she rocked, smooth and responsive and 78 points with time to spare.
Baby Jinn is really coming along nicely. That trial is 3 rings, the building gets VERY loud at times and she held it together and gave me a perfect 6 for 6 weekend! She got a first place Novice FAST on Saturday, finishing her NF title. She then got her first Open Standard Q, clean and with a second place.
She finished the day with a first place Novice Jumpers Q, finishing her NAJ title! Sunday she made her debut in Open FAST with a bang, winning the class. She then got her second Open Standard Q with another first place finish. She almost bailed going up the dogwalk, seemed to think it was the teeter. But she toughed it out and held on for the Q.
She finished out her weekend with a lovely Open Jumpers run. She did get a little tweaked by the clicking sound of the rapid shutter as the photographer shot the weave poles. She popped out, but I regrouped her and she did them and finished strong. Good thing you are allowed one refusal in Open!
It was a wonderful weekend, spent with some great people, friends I don't get to see very often and most importantly, I got to spend the weekend with my Mom. I watched her and Raven rack up QQ #15 on their quest for MACH. I am hoping to hit some more AKC trials now that Jinn seems to be coming together. Looking to do a few before the end of the year. I hope they turn out half as good as this one did!
