NQ - Missed jump on turn on flat
Decent speed from the start, even with the puppy sit. Aframe had small hesitation but not bad. Good 2o2o and decent releases from them. Struggled to enter weaves but did enter them correctly. Tough spot off table, in corner where our crates were, with Sonic squeaking from his crate. She also got caught a little on last pole. Did not pick up rear cross cue that I thought was pretty clear. Missed jump on rear cross on the flat, turning too tight. Very good speed following weaves/chute.

100 - AXJ Leg #1
Another big puppy sit at start line that probably caused a slower start. Picked up speed through fast part of course. Shasta wanted a jump instead of heading toward weaves, I was able to call her off, she did enter weaves but they were slow after the call-off. Solid finishing stretch.

NQ - Missed weave entry
Speed! Wow, she ran fast. It did have a tunnel start and one early call-off, cross but then a long, open stretch. Not sure what cause speed. Sadly, she got a little distracted at weave entry (our crates were right in that corner, might have been the cause) and I thought she had saved the entry, I verbally rewarded but she couldn't hold the third pole. My reward may have caused miss but I don't think so. On second weave attempt I tried moving away laterally and forward and she skipped a pole. Then did them third try, still good speed. She ran by double but the finished with a nice rear cross.

NQ - Popped weaves, ran out of time
Slow! Only about an hour later than her fastest run so far in her young career, she has the slowest run. She just wasn't in the game. I purposely did a very independent weave entry and she entered correctly but then stopped at pole two. Not yet comfortable enough to do it that independently. Buzzed out of time during second weaves and left course.

NQ - Refusal at tunnel, bad handling
This was a very hard course that we handled ok. Speed was average, maybe a bit slow. It started with a pause at the top of the aframe again. We handled 180 to dogwalk well. She got a little distracted in a pinwheel but we saved the jump. Lots of options off the table to the weaves but she found the entry (at a slow pace). She had very slow weaves, I was pleased to still be qualifying after them. After weaves was the dogwalk/handler restriction and I handled it poorly, being impatient and sending her to the tunnel like an experienced dog. On the 270 late in the course she again got distracted by "our crating corner" but did it. Officially lone small error on a tough course.

NQ - Avoided weave entry, twice
Decent speed throughout but avoided weave entry twice. Everything else was solid.

NQ - Entered weave poles but distracted/refusal at third pole. Around chute.
It took two break commands to get her out of her puppy sit and starting. She entered weaves without confidence then popped out at pole 3. Entered second try and completed weaves but slowly. Good dogwalk speed. Got distracted at scribe/timer and ran around the chute. Recovered nicely from distraction. Missed slice jump on front cross. Finished well, did aframe without pause at top but then it took two break commands to get her to release.
