Judging Again.....

This time at the last Unaffiliated Agility Nuts of the summer:-)

Ann and me jointly judged the Jumping classes on Saturday (Jumping and Tunnel Torment) and here are the courses I designed

Elementary and Veteran Tunnel Torment Jumping


Starters Plus Tunnel Torment Jumping


I'd already decided that this would be Reno's last Nuts at Elementary.  He's had several 1st places in jumping but could be win out by getting that elusive Agility win?

So here is how he did........

Saturday - E'd in Di Polkey's Agility, 5r for missed weave entry in Ann's jumping, 5th in Di's Agility Gamblers but I didn't think of a course so didn't attempt the Gamble and 1st in the Tunnel Torment Jumping.

Sunday - E'd in Pen's Power and Tunnels, E'd in Richard Ludlow's Agility, E'd in Alan Waddington's Jumping and 1st in Alan's Helter Skelter.

So we finished the weekend with a couple more jumping wins but no Agility to win us out properly:-(

One of the highlights of the weekend came on Saturday evening when both of my boys excelled themselves in the pairs - Reno winning the Large with Tiber and Kiros winning the ABL with Harley:-)

Although Kiros is beginning to slow a little he's still really enjoying his Agility.  I've just got to make sure he doesn't over do it so am having to limit his runs a little. He added both the Agility's to his pairs win and came second in the jumping on Sunday.

Kiros also ran in a class that Ann judged in memory of Misty.  The course that was used was a Novice Jumping that Misty was one of the very few clears in.  The winner was the dog that ran closest to Misty's time and it was really touching that this was Hazel and Gemma - Not a dry eye!!!
