Wyndridge Shetland Sheepdogs

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!!

Another fun weekend with the “fur -kids”!

We packed up and headed to New Hampshire this weekend for the Middlesex County KC agility trial.  Both Bitti and Robbie Q’d in 3 out of their 4 runs, making the trip well worthwhile!

Bitti Q’d in Exc B Standard and Exc A Jumpers on Saturday.  She has officially earned her first MACH points!!!!  She followed up on Sunday earning her second MX leg !! She came home with 33MACH points for the weekend!  I can’t wait till we finish the Exc A JWW title, then she can start collecting Double Q’s too!

Robbie, Q’d in Standard on Saturday, and Double Q’d on Sunday with a Fourth place in Standard and a Second placement in JWW.  He earned 60MACH points and his 15th Double Q this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE ARE BACK FROM “MATERNITY LEAVE”!

OK, so I didn’t actually have the puppies….but, I was not about to leave them to go to an agility trial either.  As a result, today was our first trial in many months.  We traveled a little over an hour to South Glastonbury, CT to attend the Southern Berkshire Golden Retriever Club’s trial and I have to say the dogs gave me reason to be proud! 

It was Bitti’s first stab at an agility trial, so, I entered her only in the Novice Jumpers Class…..just to get her feet wet and see how she would do.  Well, she came through with flying colors…..blue that is, coming home with not only a Q, but, a beautiful blue FIRST place ribbon!  She earned her first leg toward her Novice Jumpers title by WINNING the 12″ Novice Jumpers Class!  She was well under course time, not only did she have the best time in the 12″ class…..there was only one other dog in all of the jump heights that had a better time!  That dog was a very fast 24″ Border Collie…..Bitti finished the course in 26.44 seconds the BC finished in 25.9 seconds.

Not to be outdone by his younger sister, Robbie put in 2 very nice classes and DOUBLE Q’D too!!  He came home with another 28 points toward his MACH!!
