USDAA

Well, Mom said that since I've done AKC, NADAC, & TDAA agility that it was time for me to try USDAA. So we went to the Red Hot Rovers USDAA trail at Argus last weekend. It was a lot of fun. I got to run 3 times on Saturday. First up was standard, we got it, but I did NOT want to down on the table. I don't like doing downs, I want to RUN! I wish they would get rid of the table, it is no fun.
Second run was the performance National standard local qualifier. It was a fun course & when I saw the tunnel after the dogwalk I just couldn't help myself, mom called me but it was too late, ha! Third run was performance speed jumping. I did great, there was no table to slow me down, yay! We Q'd & made it to the finals.

On Sunday we Q'd in standard but got 2nd place (mom said I should not have taken so long at the table, huh? I told her I don't like the table!).
Then I got to run a pairs relay with Pearl. I did the first half, it was fun. Then mom handed off the baton to Kelly & Pearl, they did great! We got first place! Not just in the 8" class but the whole performance pairs 1 class! Little dogs rock! Here is a video of our run:

Then we ran the performance speed jumping finals. There was no table, yippee! I ran really fast & we were doing good. Then BAD MOM sent me over the wrong jump! Mom did not perform well under pressure, I need a new handler, we could have gotten first place & won some money to pay for treats for ME but no, she had to go & mess me up. Bad mom.
Our last run was jumpers. We had to run jumpers right after speed jumping. It was fun, we Q'd!
I hope we get to do USDAA again, it was fun.
