Soleil's Agility Videos

In an effort to free up some room on my hosting server, I am trying a couple of different new video services. Hope it is easy enough for all to use. Enjoy.

*** Important News Flash MACH Soleil ***

Double Q Number 20! - May 24, 2008, LEAP Agility Trial, Granby, MA

Ex Std Judge Leslie Anderson - Time 43.19, SCT 64.00, Yards 183, YPS 4.24, 2nd Place
Ex JWW Judge Karen Paulukaitis - Time 30.69, SCT 46.00, Yards 172, YPS 5.6, 3rd Place

Finally! This is Soleil's Master Agility Championship (MACH) run.
This is her 20th QQ. Soleil has over 3,300 points (need 750 points and 20 double Qs for a MACH).
We finally got 20 double Qs. So, Soleil is now:

MACH Soleil du Murier de Sordeille

Double Q Number 21 - May 26, 2008, LEAP Trial, Granby, MA

Ex Std Judge Cynthia Kean - Time 42.24, SCT 64.00, Yards 182, YPS 4.31, 2nd Place

After a 7 month dry spell without a single double Q, we got 4 double Qs in 3 weekends.
This is a "bumper leg" double Q for the MACH, just in case!

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.

Ex Std Judge Jim Smotrel - Time 38.4, SCT 62.00, Yards 171, YPS 4.453, 1st Place
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.
