As the title of the post tells you we got UDX leg # 9!!!! And got 1 OTCH point also!!!
We went to a 2 day trial in Baltimore this weekend. Yesterday Kona NQ'ed in utility (first go out Kona only went out just past the jumps and turned and looked at me....... just called him in ....... did the second half fine) and took 4th in open with a 194. Today we had a 193 and 3rd in Utility and 193 1/2 in Open. We lost the run off in utility to another lab (and friend) with a no sit. My friends told me I didn't cue Kona on the halt.
This evening I ran Bo in Rally Novice B with a 90. The judge told me I would have 100 if I had not been so creative with one sign ........... did a sit down sit instead of a sit down!! I felt like I had won gold with Bo ........ that was the first time that I was able to keep the leash loose and keep him working with me with attention!! No points off for out of postion or tight lead!!
Now the even more exciting news. Three of my friends finished their UD's and one very special lady finished her OTCH with her 11 yo border collie!!! What an absolutely great weekend!!!
