Thanks guys! It's definitely more fun when we Q but I'm excited about seeing more consistency! I'm kinda bummed I forgot to look for a "new title" ribbon at the trial but some places don't give them out.
Our next trial is with UKI and it'll be just jumps and tunnels so should be a fun time!!

Some pics from our last trial came through
Coming off the teeter
GET THOSE WEAVE POLES
The start line!
And the finish line!
Rear-Crossing to pull her in toward an offset jump.
She came out of the tunnel opening with me on her left side, I pulled her through the red jump, and sent her to the green jump ahead of me. By crossing behind her, her natural direction is to veer right to a jump in line with the red (not pictured). It's sequence 7-8-9-10 on squares on the map below. She's jumping 9 while I'm running behind her to pull her back to 10. I believe I rear crossed her when she was taking jump 6 as well to pull her in toward the tunnel opening.

Those pictures show a really focused Ruby, (and you!), and she is looking like she is having fun with it all now.

All great ‘flying’ shots! I love how long and lean she looks, plus she is totally focused.

Rubie had her best two runs ever today and I'm so proud of her! Today was a different venue, UKI. We signed up for two Speedstakes runs. This is just jumps and tunnels; Rubie's JAM!
Speedstakes round 1
Beautiful run. 1st place and Q! Almost as fast as the border Collies!
Speedstakes round 2
Fast and flawless and even prettier than the first run!
I get so frustrated when she DOESNT do it because I know she CAN do it.
Our two 1st places were worth 6 points each so with our 12 points, we started and finished Beginners Speedstakes today! On to Novice!

No ribbons for us today. Too much excitement this weekend overall and Rubie just wasn't in to it. Blew the weave poles in Standard and knocked that first pole in JWW which is an auto NQ. I also lost her halfway through the JWW run so we just ran to finish, missing a jump. There weren't many Qs yesterday or today I'm told because they were kind of janky courses.

She sure does! Our Corgi friend who is perfect upon perfect only got 1 Q out of 5 runs. She said it was very humbling
these dogs sure do remind we're not always in control.We did a lot of things well today and always happy to get out there and play so I can't be upset about that!
I agree! You two are a great team! I always find myself smiling watching your videos!

Moo got some actual ring time! It doesn't look like much but he's engaged with me and ignoring the peanut gallery which is a HUGE deal!
Rubie was awesome per usual but little stinker popped out of the weave poles early! I didn't notice until I watched the video...
I seem to be having issues with video quality for some reason?

Well done, Moo! You can see he has lots of potential. And of course Rubie at her finest! I’m in total awe watching these pups

Moose looks fantastic out there and has that innocent energy of just wanting to please. He looks like he is having fun.
The same ole Ruby....What to say?? That shit just burns up the course if she wants too!! Damn she looked good out there.
Good job.
