Overall, a great run. Good early crosses, including coming in nice from the chute by the crowd. Good turn on the jump after the table. She did self-release on the aframe but I know there is confusion on the aframe right now. Weaves were a tad slow but the dogwalk was very good speed for her at this stage. Just a nice, solid run with decent speed, especially for standard.
She didn't break off start line on first command. Handled early cross well but then slowed down as I tried to set up rear cross. Good speed on line after rear cross. Slight distraction after line toward crowd, took a jump and then stopped in the middle of course. I do not know reason for stop. Might have been her thinking we should be able to leave for treats since it was down on the entry/exit side. It might have been a reaction to having gotten distracted by young leash runner. Might have been something else. Slow weaves and a little hesitation at double coming out of them. But then kicked it down for blind cross and finishing line. Overall, "a tale of two cities", great parts and a few issue spots.
Saturday: 4/6/13
Slow weaves, but it was following a jump-triple-weave unmotivating start and was weaving into the well, so quite impressive that she did them all. Then after jump 5 we, AGAIN, had an issue with her coughing up her treat. She came out of the tunnel with great speed, didn't get a great turn because of the speed, but ended up very nicely including some independence on the double as I went for the long front cross.
Not good speed to start even with a running start. Then more aframe confusion including stopping and sitting at the apex! Then she came out of the tunnel with great speed again, beating me to our front cross before the dogwalk. She gets behind me and gets on the dogwalk from a severe angle. No confusion on dogwalk bottom, pretty good speed and stuck it. Then we missed the chute as we got a little distracted right at the entrance/crowd. From there it was all really good, nice crosses, attentiveness and speed. And maybe her fastest weaves yet in a show.
Sunday: 4/7/13
Excellent Standard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAEKKRoNitgNQ
It was our excellent debut.
Decent speed after tunnel start, good lateral distance on the triple and
a nice, early blind cross.
Unfortunately, our aframe confusion turned into aframe avoidance. She avoided it twice so we went past it. Very good speed once we avoided it, nice
distance from table. Then, on the way to
weaves, another "freeze-off".
Once she came to me it was a great independent weave entry and
performance. Nice lateral distance on
dogwalk and really good speed off of it.
Missed rear cross on final jump as she was distracted toward crowd.

I was really happy with this run. She left weaves early when I got big lateral/forward distance as a test (since no leg was on the line). I found out that was too far for now. Started with small send to jump 2 to blind cross after 3. Nicely turned off wrong course tunnel option after 9. As mentioned earlier, popped weaves late in poles as I test big lateral/forward distance. Went happily back to fix them and did nice second set. Good speed on final line.
