YIPEEEE -- look how well we've done!!

Another great NADAC weekend at the OK Agility trial in Zephyrhills on Feb. 4th/5th, 2012

Camden and I were a tad "off" on Sat but he still went 2 Q's for 4 runs but on Sunday we were back on (or "I" was <G>) and he went 4 Q's for 4 runs!!

Declan's second trial went well - he was "ON" on Sat going 3 Q's for 3 runs and on Sunday we had very minor mistakes (1 off course in each run) and ended up 1 Q for 4 runs.

Happy to say Camden got 2 Elite Chances Q's and Declan got 2 Novice Chances Q (first time in the class) this weekend!! Love that class <G>!

It's all in the learning and the journey which Declan and I are just beginning!!

Declan 2-5-12

What a great weekend the boys and I had!

It started out with Friday being
Declan's 2nd birthday!

Then we met with a friend
(she was also judging the NADAC trial on Sat/Sun)
Sarah Fix who was doing a tracking workshop and Camden got to be demo dog and do a track for the participants. He was a very good boy and did exactly what he should!

Next was the NADAC games trial hosted
by Cool Critters (1-7/8, 2012)

This was Declan's official first agility trial and he had a great time and did so well! He not only qualified in 7 of his 9 runs
but earned his first 3 Novice titles
(Tunnelers/Touch n Go and Weavers)
what a smart boy!!

And, of course, Camden did a wonderful job and qualified in 9 of his 10 runs!!

Well we finally (after 6 months) made it to another agility trial!!

We attended the Baldwin NADAC Agility trial Dec. 3rd/4th, 2011

While I was a tad worried about how rusty we'd be - Camden proved to me it didn't matter and he had it under control!

He Q'd 9 of his 10 runs

(and the one we NQ'd was TOTALLY my fault!!)

Also the baby dog (Declan) made his agility debut by running in Novice Tunnelers on Sat and Novice Touch n Go on Sunday and Q'ing in both!!

Declan was focused, happy and driven - I couldn't ask for anything more!!

WOW

What can I say about Camden and our trial this past weekend?!!!

We attended the Calusa NADAC Agility trial down in Arcadia July 30th/31st, 2011

We came home with
12 Q's out of 12 runs!!!

The blonde boy was on!!

Well done Camden! I'm proud to be his partner out there on the course!!!

Camden's Q'ing streak
continues to roll!!

We attended a Baldwin NADAC Agility Night trial in Tampa (5-20/21-2011). Due to the park closing at 10:30 we had a limited trial of just 4 runs per night.

Camden qualified in
8 of his 8 runs!!!!

Camden had a GREAT weekend in Palmetto at the Cool Critters NADAC trial!!

(April 23/24, 2011)

He Q'd in 11 of his 12 runs for the weekend (having a perfect day on Sunday (6/6).

He earned 4 Regular, 2 Chances, 1 Jumpers, 1 Weavers, 1 TnG, 1 Tunnelers and 1 Hoopers Q's

The boys and I attended a NADAC trial last weekend in Ocala. (4-2/3-11)

Camden is currently the only one showing
(Flame is retired and Declan not old enough)
and he's doing a great job carrying all the weight! <G>

We had 12 runs for the weekend
(and a full sunny one at that) and
Camden qualified in 8 of them!

He earned 4 Regular, 2 Weavers, 1 Chances and 1 Jumpers Q's!

NADAC TOP TEN BY BREED for
2010 results are in!!

Camden is in the Top Ten for Goldens in
4 of the 7 classes!!
(side note: In the other 3 classes he only showed in Jumpers once, Tunnelers six times and did not show in Hoopers at all in 2010!)

GOOD BOY!!!

He's #2 in Chances, #6 in Regular, #6 in Touch n Go and #9 in Weavers!

WOW - the blonde boy did
it again!!

Camden earned his
"Versatility NATCH" at the Baldwin NADAC Agility trial Feb. 4th, 2011

He ended up Q'ing in 6 of his 10 runs. Earning 2 Regulars, 1 Jumpers, 1 Chances, 1 Touch n Go (Vers. NATCH run) and 1 Tunnelers
(ran at 6.55 yps!)

I'm very proud of this boy who
gives 110% in whatever he does!!

Sarah Fix (Judge), Camden and Becky Versatility NATCH! 2-4-11

Had a great time at the Cool Critters
NADAC Games trial January 8th and 9th, 2011

Camden was entered in 9 runs and
qualified in 8 of them!!
GOOD BOY!!!

He also completed his "Outstanding
Touch N Go" and "Open Hoopers" titles!!!

YAHOOOOO!!!!
CAMDEN EARNS HIS "NATCH" (NADAC Agility Trial Champion) title!!!!

Camden needed 3 Regular Q's and 1 Chances Q this weekend to earn it.
He did that and MORE!!

He went 10 Q's for 11 runs earning 5 Regular Q's, 2 Chances, 2 Tunnelers and 1 Touch n Go Q!!!

Along with his "NATCH" he also earned his "Outstanding Tunnelers" title!!

WHAT A BOY!!!

The boys and I headed down to Palmetto for the Cool Critters 3 day NADAC trial right after Thanksgiving! (11/26-28/10)

This was Flame's first trial after being retired -- lets just say he did well until Sunday, then I believe he had decided he waited enough for his turn and started getting fussy!

The Blonde boy was carrying all the weight and overall did a VERY nice job!! He Q'd in 8 of his 11 runs!!! Earning 2 Elite Regulars, 3 Elite Chances (!), 1 Elite Weavers, 1 Elite Touch n Go, and 1 Elite Tunnelers Q's!

Way to go Camden for a perfect score on your Chances runs this weekend!!!

WHOO HOOO -- we had a great weekend in Ocala!
(Oct 29th - 31st)
We attended the Baldwin NADAC trial where Flame completed his "MEDAL" title!!

The MEDAL is the same requirements as a NATCH but from the skilled division.

Flame is the FIRST DOG in FLORIDA to have earned a MEDAL!! He went 5 for 5 last weekend (threw some extra Q's in there - good boy Flame)

This also marks his retirement from agility. He may play in a Tunnelers class here and there but at 12.5 yrs old and 9 yrs of agility without injury we don't want to take any chances!!

Camden also had a good weekend and came home with 6 Q's one of those being his 13th Elite Weavers Q (meeting his weavers requirement for his versatility NATCH).

Well go figure our August trial and September trial ended up back to back weekends!

So we were off to the Baldwin NADAC Night trial
(Sept. 3rd/4th, 2010).

Our first night I have no explanation other than the stars were not lined up right or something. Both boys only Q'd 1 of 4 runs.....we just couldn't get in sync.

However on Saturday night we
were back!

Flame 3 Q's for 3 runs.
Camden 4 Q's for 4 runs!
A PERFECT NIGHT!!!

The boys and I got to attend our first agility
trial since May.

A brand new club " Calusa Dog Club of Southwest Florida " down in Arcadia held their first NADAC trial on August 28th/29th, 2010

We had a very successful trial!
Flame: 6 Q's out of 8 runs!
Camden: 6 Q's out of 8 runs!

NADAC night trial in Ocala
May 28th and 29th.

The boys had 3 runs each per night and it was a successful 2 nights!! :)

Flame - Q'd in 3 Elite Regular, 2 Elite Chances, 1 Elite Jumpers! He had a perfect 2 nights!!!

Camden - Q'd in 2 Elite Regular, 2 Elite Chances, 1 Elite TnG! 5 out of 6 not bad at all!

The boys and I attended our first agility trial since Feb. We headed to the Cool Critters NADAC trial held in
Palmetto April-24th and 25th, 2010

We had a good weekend!

Declan attended his first agility trial also and I have to say, he took it ALL in stride....nothing fazed him

Flame: Earned 2 - Elite Regular Q's and 1 Elite Chances Q (was the ONLY Elite dog to Q on this course Sunday)

Camden: Earned 2 - Elite Regular Q's, 1 - Elite Chances Q (only 1 of 2 Elite dogs to earn a Q on this course Saturday), 1 - Elite Weavers Q and 1 - Elite Touch N Go Q (which earned him his Elite TnG title AND his Elite Versatility Award!!)

GOOD BOYS!!!

RESULTS ARE IN FOR THE NADAC 2009 TOP TEN BREED RANKINGS!

CAMDEN MADE IT INTO THE TOP TEN FOR GOLDENS IN ELITE WEAVERS
(2nd year in a row!)

GOOD BOY CAMDEN!!!!

I want to send a BIG congratulations to Tiew and Ron Honig for having TWO of their Bulldogs inducted into the Bulldog Club Of America - "Hall of Fame"
(based on their agility titles earned).

Currently there are 7 Bulldogs in the Hall of Fame -Companion Events Category and
Tiew owns 2 of them!!

"Bud" and "Mango" - jobs well done!

Tiew is one of my agility students and she is currently training and trialing her third Bulldog in agility.

Is there a third Bulldog, for Tiew, getting ready for her future induction to the Hall of Fame? We shall see....

"E.T" - Tiew's current Bulldog competing in agility.

The boys and I attended our first trial since the
NADAC Championship in Sept.

We were at the Baldwin NADAC Agility trial,
in Ocala on December 19th/20th. 2009.

While we were a bit rusty initially, the boys overall did well :)

Flame was entered in 7 runs and Q'd in 3 of them. He earned an Elite Regular, Elite Chances and Elite Jumpers Q!

Camden also did well - he Q'd in 2 Elite Regular runs and this was his first time to run Elite Regular - Good boy! He also Q'd in Elite Jumpers, Elite Chances and Elite Weavers!

Yahoo!

Over the weekend in the hotel in Ocala (12-19/20-09) attending a NADAC trial, I was surfin' on my computer and was looking through the points earned on the NADAC website for Flame......

MUCH to my big surprise I looked and looked again to see that Flame earned his Versatility NATCH2 while at the Championships in TN!!

He apparently (guess I wasn't keeping track of those points <G>) needed 10 Touch N Go points and earned 20 points while at Champs!

YIPEEE -- Flame was the first dog in FL to earn a Versatility NATCH and now there are I believe 6 (?) now he's the first one in FL to earn a Versatility NATCH 2!!
