Ty Gets CDX leg

Yea!!! Q'd!!!
Score183, 2nd Place, 2 Q's in a class of 9.
Beautiful DOR!
Both retrieves were good
Clipped the broad jump HARD....a first time for that to happen.
All kinds of compliments from the judge on the fun exercises.
Stays were good, wiggled on the Sit for a minute, then danced with his front feet, then settled. I moved him out of place between the Sit and Down...Down was good.

U-AG1, U-CD Louie CDX, RE, OA, OAJ, CGC

Hi All,

Your boy is the best worker! We earned our Open Jumpers title yesterday, first place, perfect score. Today we earned our first excellent A Jumpers leg, first place, 10 seconds under course time! He is a total thrill to work. I'll send you a pic soon.
When we got home, about a 1 1/2 hour drive, we did a little utility work, he was still so focused and ready!
He does have more pep on soloxine, it is making him better, he still has his same personality but he has more energy to focus and work.
Hope all is well in your world!

Louie has been busy in agility for the past few weekends! He earned his Open Standard title today, scored 100, perfect, and ran super fast, 17 seconds under course time! He is having a blast, too! He is getting more and more compliments very time we go out, and, I must agree, he is beautiful!!!
He would have earned another title today also, Open Jumpers, but his handler under rotated a turn for a split second and sent him to an off course jump!

Louie wowed the UKC crowd with his performances in two trials! He got his U-AG1 title!
Two trials, two first places!!! (He already had a leg from 3 years ago!)

One of the judges knows him well and was blown away by his performance.
The other judge has not seen him before and, while giving out the ribbons, she said "he runs like he is on a cloud, he was so beautiful that I kept watching him and forgot to score him...no, just kidding"!
