Agility
Glider running at the Wine Country shows in September 2009
Glider loves agility, is fearless, and is a blast to train. She is incredibly enthusiastic, is very focused, and she loves a challenge. She absolutely loves tunnels and it's hard to keep her out of them. Glider loves agility so much that she gets really upset when another dog is working as she always thinks she can do it better and it should be her turn. I started foundation agility training with Glider as soon as all of her littermates went to their new homes. She made her agility debut at a trial on August 8, 2009 where she ran in novice jumpers with weaves. She was very fast and focused on her job. While we didn't qualify on that run, it was incredibly fun and she shows great promise. At only her second full agility trial, Glider earned her first novice jumpers with weaves leg. Glider is having a great time and she is pretty sure she is the best thing out there. She earned her 3rd novice jumpers with weaves leg and her NAJ title on Sunday, November 1, 2009 at the Talbot agility trail. She also earned her 2nd novice FAST leg there. The next weekend (11/7 & 8), Glider earned her 2nd novice standard leg with a first place and she earned her first open JWW leg. Glider earned her Novice Standard title at the next trial she ran on November 28th with a beautiful first place run. Glider earned her open JWW title on January 30th in a beautiful 1st place run. Glider earned two open standard legs on February 6th and 7th. She earned her open standard title on February 13, 2010 and her first excellent jumpers with weaves leg on February 14, 2010. Glider earned her novice FAST title on February 20, 2010. On March 28, 2010, Glider had a beautiful jumpers run earning her excellent jumpers with weaves title with a 1st place finish. Glider earned her first Open Fast leg at the 2010 IWS national specialty with 1st place run. She earned her 2nd and 3rd Open Fast legs at the Oriole dog training club trial on May 8th and 9th. She also earned her 2nd Excellent standard leg and earned her first MXJ leg and first MACH points with a beautiful jumpers run and earning 3rd place (14 points).
