He looks super confident! : )

$300 worth of entries (a loss at this point if I stay home)....
They won't refund for injury with a vet note? I know some trials refund fully, and some keep an administrative fee but refund the majority. I'd be pretty ticked if a trial I entered wouldn't refund anything for an injury. After all, that's not something you have control over, and most trials have a wait list anyway so it's not like they'd lose money.
He's also been completely fine all day today, AND managed to pull off Qs in both PIII Standard and PIII Gamblers.
Preach it. I am so darn sick of stress. I don't care if my next dog is so human aggressive that I have to run it in chain mail, as long as it doesn't stress down.I hate stress. Sigh.
Steeplechase was awesome! She was clean, she just missed her weave pole entry so I had to take her back to try again. And she was 3 seconds over time. They had some tight course times. She's a FAST dog and the rest of the course was perfect and clean... and she was 3 seconds over just from one minor error? I feel like that's too close of a course time, but that's just me.
Siri will be joining a group class when we get back from vacation.
Is AAC steeplechase scored like USDAA? Because there isn't a course time for USDAA. The qualifying cutoff is based off the top 3 dogs in the class (they average their times, and you have to be within 25% of them). So you could have a great run, but if there are a few really fast dogs in your height class, you may not make the cutoff. My dogs sometimes are just plain out of luck, because they are in the usual BC height class. They can get into the top scores if a few of the super fast dogs miss contacts or knock bars, but they just can't match the ground speed if everyone is clean.
Yup, that's how it's scored.
Iz didn't Q in chasing steeples until she dropped to vets as we were in a very competitive sheltie based class. Kili i believe is in 22" specials which tends to have a lot of BCs in it.
Huh, was not aware of this. That's a little annoying. I was wondering how the course time could be set so low. I blame the judge. She didn't miss a weave pole entry all day except for Steeplechase... and it was because the judge was standing right beside them and she was all "Hey, who are you and why are you here? Can I say hello?" and I had to call her back and ask her to do the weaves (which she then did right away and quickly)... and she's a speed demon through the rest of steeplechase since it's so straight. (Obviously joking... not the judges fault that my dog has to say hello to people... at least she's stopped noticing ring crew for the most part now!)
I can't remember how many BCs are in her class... fortunately I think that actually most of the BCs run either 22" or 26" regular, but yes, we do have some which is a pain. We tend to get most of the sporting and non-sporting large breeds.
Okay next time you're in class with dan he'll be standing right next to those poles to proof that![]()
