Jinn's HIT weekend!

Jinn must have taken pity on me when she saw my tears upon retiring Mojo 2 weeks ago. My little girl really stepped up to the plate this past weekend at the PAWZAZZ trial and showed me that she is ready to follow in his footsteps as my next main competition dog. She is nearly all Elite now. She finished her Superior Open Jumpers title on Saturday which completed her Open Triple Superior. She is now only 1 Touch-n-Go and 3 Weavers away from her Open Superior Versatility! My how time flies.




The biggest difference I felt this weekend was smoothness and real, connected teamwork. She was listening, reading my body and being a real teammate. As my Mom and a friend remarked to me after one run, "you two were dancing out there!" It surely is starting to feel that way.

My rapidly maturing baby dog ended the weekend going 9 out of 12 and tying for Elite High in Trial with my friend Nicolette and her baby dog Canon. What a thrill! I couldn't be prouder of her.


It was a wonderful weekend, beautiful weather and really fun and challenging courses. And I got to spend some time and bond with my Mom's new puppy Torrey, also known as Jusdandy Man in Motion. He is a little pistol and I love him already.

 


I look forward to doing AKC in 2 weeks. Curious to see if Jinn's newfound consistency and teamwork is a lasting thing.
