the beautiful mountains full of fall trees...gorgeous
Friday brought a warm sunny morning and all the young dog classes. Sue
and luc had one run each at this trial, and Sue had the better run
this time. She had a great outrun and good course work...and her
brother had ideas of his own, and we missed every gate..
Saturday brought cold rainy weather and Maya ran 7th in the morning.
We had an awesome run, scoring a 90 which held up all day and we won
the class of 60+ dogs!!! If that wasn't awesome enough, Russell ran
great with just a few bobbles here and there, finishing with a score
of 84 which earned him an 11th place. We had a great handler dinner
there at the farm and enjoyed the great comraderie. Maya's win also
came with a beautiful engraved whistle.
Sunday was chilly and sunny, warming up nicely by afternoon. Russell
ran first and he ran out well and lifted perfectly with a couple
bobbles on the fetch. The drive and pen were Ok but we were not able
to single from our group of a ewe and two lambs. Score of 72..nice but
out of the money. What a great weekend for the old man!
Maya ran near the end of the day going out with a great outrun and
lifting well...then it went downhill from there with our draw of a ewe
who only had running on her mind. Maya was able to stop and hold her
each time she ran but we never got a hold of her and I retired when
she bolted on the crossdrive. Oh well. Maya did a great job, giving
her all.
We all had a great weekend with several successes and an impressive
win with Maya!
Now for the long drive home...we hope to get home around 2am.
