So my competition year is over! Overall, mommy and I had a great year. Our highlights, of course, was attaining my MACH back in April, my first JH leg (after only a few months of training) in September and then, finally qualifying for the National Agility Championships in Atl GA (2024) before the 11/30 deadline, which are held in March.

So our totals for agility are 36 QQ's (16 QQs towards MACH 2) with 71 Jumpers Legs and 46 Standard legs and 352 MACH points towards MACH 2. Funny how it's 4 QQs left, and 4 each standard and jumpers Q's for Standard Silver and Jumpers Gold.

We will do local agility trials only for the first half of 2024 as we concentrate on field training as soon as the weather warms up in 2024. We will also get down to business for my CDX and my RE.

MACH2 will have to wait until the 2nd half of the year.

Can't wait to see what next year brings for mom and me.

Love,

Slider

Today, I conquered the final point I needed to Qualify for the 2024 NAC (National Agility Championship). A big thank you to everyone who helped me and mommy along the way.

Just got back from the FCRSA 2023 national specialty. We played a lot of different things. But agility was my favorite. I got my first Ex Fast leg with a third place, MX Q #27 and MXJ Q #56 (QQ #28) and now have 104 pts and 8 QQ'S towards MACH2. I also got my first Rally Excellent leg.

There was absolutely no love for me in Best of. breed but heres a photo of me strutting my stuff

NQ run but I liked it overall!

MX NQ but liked overall. I am really going to try to run more efficiently.... it's hard to kill old crappy habits. BTW 90% of the class failed at the table.

I have a brand new title (or three!)

I am now: Ch *MACH* Blazin's Payoff Pitch CD RA MXB *MJS* T2B *OF* CGC!

On April 14, 2023, I got the last 12 points (just made it!) for my MACH! It has been a great ride and I hope mom and I can have lots more fun together. I will post some video later!

Most important QQs #19, 20 and 21 leaving 79 Points to attain my first MACH. Mom and I are really gelling as a team. We are off til around St. Patrick's day so we'll practice a bit and have fun.

I added T2B TITLE to my name this weekend....yay!

We traveled to Palmyra Pa to get away for a while. Of course we played agility.

At Dauphin DTC, under Tom O'Brien and Dawn Glaser-Falk Slider got T2B leg #11 (89 pts to date), MX leg #15, MXJ legs # 23 and 24, QQ #13 (331 MACH Points to date). The courses were very tough the past few weekends.
