Spot On... at Spot On

Off to Spot On today. Tink was having a bad weave day, never doing weaves right the first time all day! The day started off with Steeplechase, Tink's total time, with 5 faults for a knocked bar was 37.72, and she needed 38 or better to Q. So we made it by a mear .28 secs! That was our 10th Steeplechase Q and with that Tink earned her Master Steeplechase Dog of Canada (MSCDC). Master Standard wasn't pretty, but there were some great points. Natasha and Tink ran Advanced Standard, there was an off course chute that Tink just had to take. Tink was in Team with her classmate, Cinders. During the run, Tink hit the entry on the weaves, then went out, then we started it again, and finished fine. I saw the judges hand go up for a refusal. The rest of the run went well, and Cinders' run was clean, so after the run, I approched the judge abount the weaves, because in Advanced, weaves are not faulted as long as the dog makes the entry. So the fault scratched. Thankfully, because otherwise we would have been overtime. So the girls got their final Advanced Team Q, and Tink earned her second title of the day, Advanced Games Dog of Canada (AGDC). Master Jumpers was last and though I almost got lost, the run went very well until the second last jump, when I tried to rear cross, causing Tink to spin, and take down a bar. I was still very happy with the run.
