Hank and Remy and I had fun playing agility back to back weekends at DAAO’s Springfield trials! Remy finished up her open jumpers title, earned her first excellent jumpers leg, and her first two excellent standard legs. All her NQs were one small mistake (and most of them were my fault). In his third trial ever Hank totally surprised me 😂 he went 6/8 across 2 weekends, earning his novice standard title, first two legs of open standard, and first two novice jumpers legs. He’s been training very minimally over the last 6 months, I’m excited to see what he can do once we can get back to training more consistently. Good dogs 🥹

Remy and I stepped into our first arena trial in October. Six months and a couple trials later (pending ASCA approval) Remy is now:

Remy and I made a quick trip down to Texas this weekend for the CTWASA stockdog trial. We earned a leg towards our OFTDc title on Friday, despite sorting the 5 worst cattle of the group to work 😂 On Saturday Remy finished her started duck and open cattle titles. We didn’t enter advanced sheep, but I wish we had - you couldn’t have asked for better sheep to work. We met lots of great people and will definitely be back!

This past weekend Remy and I had the privilege to compete in our first arena trials at the Sunflower Cup at Twin Creek Farms in Osborne, Kansas. Remy had a perfect first day, going 5/5 and earning her started cattle and sheep titles and her first started duck leg. I moved her up to open in sheep and cattle for the rest of the weekend and she earned her open sheep title and a leg towards her open cattle title under judges Rachel Vest and Jerry Rowe. It was so good to see old friends and make new ones and stay for a few days after to train with Jerry. Always proud of my hardworking little red girl 🥹

We went up to Purina this weekend to play ASCA agility at the Gateway ASC trial and had a blast! They are a phenomenal club, everyone was so kind and welcoming and the judges were fantastic, we will be back! Remy went 4/4 in her regular and jumpers runs, earning her novice and open jumpers titles and novice regular title. She was 0/4 in gamblers, she’s so handler focused and we haven’t spent much time training distance- I kind of threw her to the wolves. She didn’t understand what I was asking of her on Friday, but she figured it out on Saturday and was 1 missed jump and 1 knocked bar (the only one she dropped all weekend) from her novice gamblers title. Neither of us had ever been to Purina or run in a big event center like that, and she handled it like a champ. She ran slower than normal and was impossible to hype up 😂 Aussies everywhere going nuts and she was just chilling. It doesn’t matter what we’re doing, she tries so hard to be right and is so even-keeled while doing so. Always grateful to take the best girl home!

I finally entered Remy in her first agility trial and she didn’t disappoint! She went 4/4 on the weekend with 2 Qs each towards her standard and jumpers title. She was the only dog to Q on Saturday in Novice Standard 🥹 everyone was so kind and welcoming, we had a blast and even got to make some new working Aussie friends. I’m so grateful for this perfect little girl and her willingness to do whatever I ask her and we can’t wait to do it again in a couple weeks!

Back home after a week at our favorite place! I love getting to do what I love all day every day with great people and great dogs.
As always, I’m grateful for my little red dog that never quits and shows up to work for me every day. She’s a far better dog than I am a handler, but thankfully she doesn’t seem to mind. Already looking forward to next year!
