BC/Yukon Regional Championships

The two day event started off okay.  A decent Gamblers run and a fantastic (4th place of 60 dogs!) placement in the Standard run.  And then came the brain freeze during the Jumpers run where I totally lost my route through the obstacles and ended up with a zero for a Non-Completion!  Qualifying for the Nationals wasn't looking like an option.  We would have to run two perfect runs on Sunday.

With a fried rib-eye steak for treats before and after the events, Sassy pulled it off and did two outstanding runs, basically qualifying in four events of a six-event trial.  The final run, a Gamblers, was all icing on the cake.  We qualified and are headed to Calgary for the National Dog Agility Championships in August!

Here's Sassy in our first run on Sunday.  Thanks for the photos, Frank!
