Rosette

 Rosette went to 3 days of the Thanksgiving cluster in Mass for agility.  She is competing at the highest level now…excellent standard and master jumpers.  She managed a qualifying run in master jumpers which is our first master Q.  She has to run clean and be under time in masters.  We had another jumpers run which was clean but one second over time.☹️.  She did a lovely job on a standard course but we got called for a refusal when she did a spin between obstacles.  Here are some photos taken by my friend, Jaclyn.

Nacci has a new title

 Nacci earned his CDX title!!  This took a while and a lot of training but he did it.  I am so proud of him!!!

 Finally able to brag!  (Computer issues and pouring rain prevented me before now).  My teenage puppy, Bonnet, did me proud at the Tunbridge, Vermont dog show cluster.  Feeling a bit foolish, I entered her in 4 rally trials.  It was her first time in any ring!  We struggled a bit with the left 360 circle in the first trial as it was the first station.  We pulled off a Q with an 84.  But after that she got into her groove……she managed 2 perfect scores of 100 and a score of 99 in the next 3 trials.  She got 2 first places and a second, losing on time to her training buddy, same age, Breezy, the berner, with Buffy Bell.  I was very, very pleased.  Breezy and Bonnet were the only ones with a 100 in novice at that trial.  We both got titles!!  Many nice things were said about her by all 3 judges!!!!

Rosette, super star!!

 Rosette and I spent the weekend at a CPE agility trial at Muddy Paws Canine Center. Over the 3 days, we did all 10 runs (level 3) and qualified in 8!!!!  Proudest moment was our jackpot run…..non traditional jackpot with 2 gambles and Rosette successfully did both!!  One was jump-A frame-jump and one was 3 tunnels with 2 across the back and one along the wall.  I was pretty sure she would do the 3 tunnels.  But I did not know what she would do when she climbed the A frame, and, I was not close by.  She went up, looked over at me as if to say “what are you doing way over there” came down correctly and followed my cues to the jump!!  She picked up a bunch more points doing other things and we finished, in time, with many more points than we needed.  We can now move up to level 5 in jackpot and standard (we had 4 standard Q’s!!!).  We still have to grab a few more level 3 Q’s in the other games.  Rosette had fun and got quite a few compliments.  As usual, we were the only Dane🙂
