Double Q Number 14 - May 5, 2007, TMAC Trial, Westfield, MA

Ex Std Judge Jennifer McDonald - Time 43.67, SCT 59.00, Yards 168, YPS 3.85, 1st Place

Soleil broke her start line which put me behind from the start. I was planning a front cross after the dogwalk. Because I was behind, I had to flip her over the first jump which caused the spin in the wrong direction after the second jump. It was a very messy opening, but we finally got it together after the weave poles.

Soleil really saved me on this one. I did a very poor execution of a front cross in front of the jump right before the table. I almost sent her right into the weave poles which would have been a wrong course.

This is about as perfect as a run can get for Soleil and I. Everything just seemed to flow. When it all comes together like this, it's so much fun. It's like a well choreographed dance.

NADAC Agility Trials

Tunnel Crasher Video, July 24, 2004
TAC Agility Trial, Westford, MA, Judge: Ray Wheeler
This is just a small clip of the start of a NADAC Novice Regular run. I put this up to show the force with which Soleil takes tunnels. Soleil hit the opening of a 'U' shaped tunnel and changed it to an 'L' shaped tunnel and sent the tunnel holders (5 gallon water jugs) flying. This would have been even more of a problem if we had to take this tunnel a second time, or if it were part of a gamble and we took it during the opening. It makes it difficult to run the course if the tunnel is no longer where it is suppose to be. I am not a big fan of water jugs for tunnel holders. Can you blame me?

NADAC Novice Gamblers July 20, 2003
Teamwork Agility Trial, Littleton, MA, Judge: Charles Huber
1st leg, 58 points, 1st Place
Soleil is a tunnel crasher. This video shows the "enthusiasm" in which she takes tunnels. I did not realize she knocked the tunnel right off of the tunnel holder her first time through, or I would not have sent her through it the second time. These metal tunnel holders can be very dangerous if not secured properly. Unfortunately, NADAC no longer offers a Gamblers Class.
