AAC Nationals in Ottawa
Woo hoo...Roo and Fixx played, and played well at the largest AAC Nationals to date held in Ottawa July 31, August 1 & August 2nd.
Fixx made the Steeplechase final. She was in 10th place and didn’t have the best steeplechase run, but made her way up to 8th place in the final. We finally made a little cash, got a souvenir t-shirt and some great bonus shots from TTL photography. I’ll replace the photo below of Fixx when I get my TTL order! Fixx also had some great runs finishing 11th in Standard 1 and 11th in Jumpers 2. There were well over 100 dogs in her class. I believe Fixx ended Nationals in 24th place.
Roo ran well too. Some silly faults in the standard runs prevented up from being clean. She had a great Jumpers 1 run and finished in 10th place...earning herself a ribbon. Jumpers 2, I could have killed her. She locked in to an off course tunnel, and that was the end of that great run. This time it was not my fault. I have onlookers who will back me up
Both girls missed the 1st Gamble, but got Gamble No. 2.
