Fixx and Roo both competed in the 22” Regular Master Classes on February 20 & 21st in Montreal. I was really looking forward to running both in the same class to hopefully see who is the faster dog. They both handle a little differently. Roo is very smooth and flowing and Fixx is more slot car like and very responsive. I came close to having nice clean runs with both in the Master Jumpers, but Roo missed a hard cut that many of the dogs before me also missed....I wasn’t paying attention and didn’t see the problem area! I changed my plan with Fixx and ran it clean winning the 22 inch division with her. Fixx and Roo also earned a Steeplechase leg. They both missed one a-frame contact and Fixx came ahead there winning that class. Roo also earned a Standard leg...now 5 away from her silver. I spent the rest of my runs trying to fix bad contacts in the ring on both dogs! Good grief...let’s hope this is a winter thing!

Jake and Roo ran on FBI’s regular team and placed 3rd. Roo hasn’t been running much flyball lately as she has been focusing on agility, but she ran really well. I enjoyed running her again. Jake was handled in the start position by my good friend Pat.

Roo

Ruckus was the height dog for our Open team which placed 2nd. He had a few little brain melt downs, but ran well for the rest. He wasn’t as exhausted as he was at the November tournament so hopefully his fitness level is improving.
