That is fantastic news! WOOT for Strider! What an accomplished boy he is.

Cool. Can't imagine all the training it takes to get even 1 MACH.

Master Agility Champion -- his 2nd time over! He earned the first MACH in Jan 09. Each MACH requires 20 double qualifications... so he had to qualify in both excellent standard and jumpers on the same day w/ a perfect score of 100 20 times. They also have to have 750 points, and points are earned by finishing under the standard course time alloted and beating other dogs in his class. He's had his points for quite some time, just needed the "Q's". He had it wrapped up a couple weeks ago at the last trial they did and was in the weaves when 2 Border Collies got into a fight right there, ringside causing Strider to pop out w/ a "what the heck???" and fail. Only the tunnel remained so he had it until then... sigh (only 1 of the owners bothered to apologize to him).
