The Trial

Soda and I ran really well. :) We qualified but didn't place and that's okay. She got pushy (again!) on the fetch so we were kind of wobbly but we did everything else pretty well. Oh, also, when we were pulling the sheep from the pen Soda somehow managed to split the sheep into two groups and that cost us a few points. We were really trucking along and we finished the course in 7 minutes and 7 seconds. My trainer who was doing set-out laughed and said it only took us like 3 minutes because we were so dang speedy.

It was a HUGE class with over 20 dogs and it took for.ever! The class started at 10 ish and ended at 4:30!! Couldn't believe it.

I made a contact with a woman who lives in Orange County and has her own sheep and was amenable to letting me use them at some point so I'm really excited about that! It will interesting to see what Soda develops into with more consistent sheep exposure.

Anyway, good times were had by all.
