So proud of Eden-Pie :-)

UKC Lure Coursing Aptitude Test

Took Eden to a United Kennel Club show today to get the first two legs towards her Lure Coursing Aptitude Title (CA). She earned them and everyone thought she was great and cute - she is SO drivey for the lure! I wish I could channel that into flyball!

Flyball Tuesday

We set Eden and Poppy up so that Eden would be chasing Poppy after her box turn, hoping to incite some more speed into Eden's return down the lane - it didn't work, she doesn't care LOL Then we worked on her box turn, which is beautiful without a ball loaded and much harder when it is loaded because of how slow the release is from the box. She ended up hitting a jump on the way back and that really slowed her down and made her a little more hesitant so after a successful run, I put her up.

GRAC Trial: Day Three

Well, we were seriously late this morning. I was planning on getting to the trial roughly the same time we had showed up the last two mornings and then randomly thought I should double-check...and there was no FAST taking up half the morning, it was just Open JWW and then Novice was up! We flew there, I glanced at the sheet, checked us in and we were up. Talk about adrenaline rush!

She did awesome this morning - was really perky and running. We had a slight mishap when she darted for a bar-setter (this particular judge said that any dog that went for one and didn't call off would be NQ'd immediately) but I was able to call her back by sharply saying her name - thank goodness! The rest of the run was smooth. Very pleased with my little Eden-Pie!

It wasn't until the papers came out that I realized how close we were to the time, we almost didn't Q!! The judge did mention he thought a fast dog should be able to do it in 17 seconds - whoa!

Which rounds out the weekend of agility. Eden managed 5 Q's, 5 first places and 2 new titles - NAJ (Novice Jumper with Weaves) and NA (Novice Standard).

I took loads more Proud-Mommy photos of this cute face, they are HERE. Since she achieved her Novice Standard title yesterday and I had already paid, I had moved her up to Open Standard but after looking at the course map decided to end on a high note and leave Open for another time (she has never seen 12 weaves before!).

Really neat compilation that Jason put together for the whole weekend:
