Introducing…

MACH2 Wyndridge Royal Independance!!!!  MACH Princess Indy is owned and loved by Carol and Gary Weiner.  Indy is Carol’s first agility dog, they started training in agility here in Connecticut, “just for fun”.  At least that is what Carol told me, and,  fun they did have!!  This amazing team went all the way from Novice A, to earning a MACH before moving south to sunny Florida!   

Today, Carol and Indy completed their MACH2 at the Sarasota Obedience Club’s agility trial, in Palmetto, FL.  We are soooo very proud of  the two of you, and are especially happy to be able to share in the joy of your achievement!!!

You go girl(s)!!!

Now XXX rated!

For this weekend’s trial we were back up in New Hampshire at American K9 for a trial held by the Agility Club of New Hampshire.  The dogs put in some nice runs.   Bitti is coming along nicely, she is really consistent on course! Robbie had a really nice run in JWW and won the 16″ Excellent B JWW class on Sunday.  He also won the FAST Excellent A class, that gave him the third leg need for his Excellent Fast title.  So he is now “triple X rated”<ggg> because he has his MX MXJ and now XF titles!

Christmas came early this year…..

We went to the Agility Club of New Hampshire’s trial this weekend.  On Saturday, Bitti Q’d in Excellent  B JWW and Robbie Double Q’d earning his 17th DQ!

Then on Sunday, Robbie had a repeat performance earning his 18th DQ!  Bitti also Double Q’d- this is her first DQ…..so she is now officially on the way too!

Sitting on 18 DQ’s and nearly 1000 MACH points, Robbie and I are finally within striking distance of his MACH, I can hardly wait for our next trial!

In the homestretch now…..

This weekend we went south and found the weather even colder than what we left behind!  We attended an agility trial held at Gloucester County Dream Park, in southern New Jersey.  Robbie picked up 48 points and Double Q #16 toward his MACH.  We are officially in the “homestretch” now…..just 4 left to go for his Championship!

Not to be outdone by her big brother, little Miss Bitti earned the last leg needed for her Excellent Jumpers with Weaves title too!  So she is now in both B classes, working on her Masters titles and her MACH too! 

This winter should be very exciting for us at the trials!!

Attack of BIG FOOT!

American K-9 Country is the site where many of the trials we attend are held.  Recently they put rubber coating on their agility pause table.  Along with the rubber skin a  Paw-Print logo was added.  The first trial held there following this change saw many reactions from the dogs getting on and once they were on the table.  I could not resist this picture of Robbie mid-air as he was getting on the table…..his expression looks like he is thinking, “OMG, what on earth could have left a paw print THAT BIG!!!!”.  LOL!!!!

Holy Paw Print, WHAT left that print!?!?!
