From one big event to the next... well at least I'm still blogging... even though it's a month apart... :)
This past weekend we travelled to Knysna for the yearly SADAA National Championship... it was determined over 3 trials (6 rounds) and Chinzi was once again, true to her name "Chinzi Go Tops" and ended up not only winning the National Midi Title, but doing it in such fine style by winning all 6 rounds with Gold medals!
We started off Friday with Games, but the Gamble posed to be too much for all the dogs... Chinz still won her class, but did not get a medal/qualify. She did however won her 6th Gold medal in Snooker thereafter as well as started with a superb Jumping round to kick the weekend off on a good note.
It was a very cold weekend, sometimes a tad wet, but not too bad, the wind was really horrible at times. We managed to stay positive however, or should I say "I"... since Chinz is ALWAYS positive faced with agility, not so? lol ;)
Well, not only did she make yet another dream of mine come true by winning SADAA Nationals, little Beagle sister Emma, successfully defended her National title in Mini, to win it for the 3rd time! Kooiker Caili did not do too badly either, ending up 3rd overall in the Midi class.
Then of course it was Bowie's first Regional Trials and boy oh boy did he exceed my expectations! My only aim was to run every course flat out with him, no matter what happened... and he obliged by putting up some really nice times. He qualified in 4 of his 6 agility rounds, and also moved up to Jumping Grade 2.
Since I've had internet, PC and all sorts of problems... I have been writing this post over 5 days now and have completely lost my thread... lol
So well, all in all, it was a GOOD FUN weekend!
Here are Chinzi's rounds:
The pack's winnings for the weekend...
Until next time...
