He did it!

Tyler, for the very first time, qualified for Nationals with a heck of a lot of points to spare!

Here is a break down of his runs, so that I can remember later.

Gamblers 1: 38 opening points, he did one mini twice, no gamble (it was tunnel, the weaves from about a mile away, we didn't get the weaves)

Standard 1: Tyler's moment of glory - 13 seconds under time and clean! An amazing 113 points.

Jumpers 2: end of a very, very hot day - one refusal and one bar down for 10 faults. Still got 65 out of 75 points, not bad.

Day two was cold and rainy.

Standard 2: One bar down 95 points. This was a nasty course and I am amazed that that is the only mistake he made!

Jumpers 2: a beautiful run, his best ever. But, he ran right past the last jump. Minus 20 points. We ended up with 55. But this was really his best run ever.

Gamblers 2: 30 points in the opening, which was good because it was hard to get points in this run. No gamble, it was jump and then out to the off side of the tunnel.

End of the day - 396 points!! Keep in mind you need 350 to qualify.

Good, good dog!!

We aren't off to nationals, I don't want to drive out there with Rob, the baby and the dogs because the agility days are sooooo long. We will see where it will be held next year.
