100 – MXJ Leg #6 – 8 points

She focused on me nicely out of first tunnel, that was a part that caused issues for others.  Nice job coming back into course for pinwheel after weaves.  Decent speed throughout.

100 - MX Leg #4 – Double Q #1! – 12 points


Course had a four jump serpentine at start that had a lot of options for handling.  I chose to just keep her on my right which worked great.  She paused a bit and got a little crooked at top of the aframe.  I was a little concerned with the dogwalk “heading home” but she got well into the contact.  I went to wall side after weaves to avoid accidentally pulling into the late wrong course tunnel which worked nicely as well.  First double Q!

NQ – Missed weave entry
, refusal at double

Great speed on this course.  Early dogwalk call-off that she handled nicely.  Had a turn-tunnel off of the dogwalk we she did perfectly.  Missed weave entry after momentary “heading for home” pace.  Interesting finish, since we had NQd I tried to front cross after the tunnel that did not work.

100 – MXJ Leg #7 – 2 points


Straight forward course if you can keep up with your dog, It was going well including a couple of rear crosses.  Unfortunately after jump 8 she hoarked up her treat again.  Kept it in her mouth but cost us about 4 seconds time.

NQ – Refused table


Nice lateral distance on obstacle 2 to set up CO front cross for tunnel.  Good response on 180 with wrong course dogwalk option.  Just wandered by table.  It was next to crowd that might have contributed to it.  Good job finding weaves out of chute, weaved with good speed.  Almost fell off dogwalk on incline but saved it. Scary.  Finished nice.

100 – MXJ Leg #8 – 9 points


Ran hard until weaves.  Slow weaves.  Picked up speed again after them.  Tough call-off of orange jump on finishing stretch but she handled it great.
