Rik and I spent our weekend at the Zone 5 benefit show in Orari. This was a huge event with over 1800 entries and up to ten runs for each dog. We finished very late on Saturday night (in fact we had to postpone Tunnellers A until the morning) and at around 6pm today – phew!
We had lots of willing helpers with everyone in Zone 5 chipping in on multiple jobs over the weekend, and many from Zone 4 got in on the action as well. The competitors were also very good about getting onto the line promptly. Thanks everyone for making the show a success – hopefully we are all trained up and ready for the challenge of running an NZDAC now.
This was our last weekend in Novice and in Jumpers B. On Saturday the steering was very good, but the weaves and the contacts let us down a bit. On Sunday Rik nailed both her weaves, but we weren’t quite in sync about where she was supposed to be going. We did get one clear round – 6th place in Jumpers B on Saturday – and we had a really nice “almost” run in our last ever Jumpers B on Sunday too.
What did you and your agility dogs get up to this weekend?
