Yay for Cypher!

He was such a good lad at Rockingham trial today - he had four runs and ran clear in three with his handler messing the 4th one up by over handling him into the wrong side of the weave poles. 2nd Place in Masters Jumping again! 3rd Place in Open Agility and 6th place in Masters Agility (with his handler micro managing far too much!). I just took him today as Raven has a small cut on a toe pad that whilst it doesn't bother her, needs to heal for next weekend's trials. So he had a good day and listened well and was just generally a pleasure to run today.
I ran borrowed Sheltie Rumour in Open Jumping for a 4th place and she did a nice run in Open Agility I just took one step too far towards an inviting off course tyre that she couldn't resist.
It was nice weather and a small entry (most likely due to the cost of them, at $10 they are the most expensive as well as the big day yesterday) and the trial ran very well.
I'll put some of the sequences up we had over the weekend soon and discuss the different ways of handling.

Congrats!! My dogs cut their pads often, is there a way to prevent this? It always sucks to pull from a trial or stop training while they heal up.

Oooh it was baaaaad.....1.4 eek!
But Ken said she was feeling well and doing well so he went ahead with the doxorubicin - so it will probably get even lower now since that drug does hit the WBC. She's fine today - just went out and did a lovely round of UD. The cut is just about healed - sue lent me a leather booty which has been wonderful for keeping it dry and clean.
Cheers
