Well, we competed in our first CPE trial this weekend and had a blast! It was hosted by CMStreek, our home training center and Terry Dyck, our instructor. All three dogs ran in multiple classes, so I'll take this in order.
Saturday, Deets and Landon both competed in Standard Level 3, and both NQ'd because they took off-courses and went in a tunnel instead of up the dog walk. My fault, a learning experience.
Then, Deets competed in Jackpot Level 3 which is just like Gamblers in USDAA but with a different name. He had a flawless run, the distance obstacle was the weaves which Deets is amazing at thanks to his 2X2 training, and he won first place and got his first ever Q!
After that, Deets and Landon competed in Jumpers Level 3 and Landon Q
'd with a first place but Deets knocked too many bars and went off course into a tunnel so no ribbons there. Then, Mimzy competed in her first show ever, and ran Jumpers Level 1. I was actually very pleased, despite the fact that she went off-course and took down three bars and decided right before the last jump to go say "hi!' to Terry. Oh well! She ran with me and that was what I was worried she wouldn't do!Sunday was a much better day! Landon hit a bar and NQ'd in standard but Deets had an awesome run and got his first standard leg with a first place!
Then, Deets and Landon competed in Level 3 jumpers and both got a Q, but Deets knocked a bar and incured a fault so he got 2nd place to Landon even though he was 12 seconds faster.
After that, Mimzy competed in level 1 again and did SOOO much better! She got a little distracted by the yummy food cart and then had an off-course because I pushed her too far foreword, but did very well otherwise and even got her first qualifying score and FIRST place!
The last run of the day was Deets' Jackpot level 3 class again, and he ran beautifully and did a great job and got his second Q toward his title and first place again!
