We had a fairy tale weekend at the AKC Regional Qualifier for next years NOC. This was our first time back in the ring since last years NOC, Beau-D’s bicep tendon surgery and a long rehab. My hope was to qualify in all 6 classes. Beau-D did so much more than that! We ended up 2nd qualifier, High in Trial with a 199 1/2+ in UB on Sunday. We also took 2nd in UB on Sat, sandwiched between Petra Ford and Linda Brennan, and a 3rd one day in Open. All total around 50 OTCH points for the weekend. The run off in UB Sunday was against Peggy Bower and her wonderful Flynn (Beau-D/Ginny) and also having a successful weekend was Lisa Mitchell and Rook (Beau-D/Piper) ending up in 8th overall!! Such a great weekend, seeing lots of friends that I haven’t seen in a while and meeting new ones. Both clubs did a great job, with Williamsport going beyond and above with Beautiful Qualifying ribbons, colored pails, and a check!

June 8 at 7:42 PM · 

Fun day today at the AKC trial at Pinnacle Dog Sports. Finn earned his 2nd Novice Fast leg with a 2nd Place (was beat out of first by 2 points). They did a fun tunnelers game after the trial. Finn loved it. I took Molly because she loves her tunnels and she took first place with a big stuffed toy in the Amatuer 16″ division. She really loved that she was able to run from tunnel to tunnel.
Back tomorrow to see if Finn can get an Open Q. He only made 1 mistake on each course today so he is getting better.

Christy and Beau-D – NOC 2018

What a wonderful time we had at the NOC! It is a grueling competition for both human and beast members of the team! We made it to the Top 50, but not the Top 20 (around 25th I think). We had a pretty good morning going clean in all 8 right with scores ranging from -.5 to -8.5.

4 years participation in the AKC NOC; 4 years making the Top 50; 2 years making the Top 20 and all of this with only 1 NQ exercise (last year), that makes 71 times in the ring clean!!! I can not be more pleased with my partner, Mr. Beau-d! He’s officially a veteran and I’m a Senior handler but we hung in there–just got home and time for a NAP!!

I do have to thank everyone who cheered us on up close and from a distance! Thank you to all of those who volunteered their time to make this a wonderful even. Linda McDonald who was in charge of the workers did an awesome job!

Loved seeing Barb Mina and Brodie (who also made it to the Top 50), Oscar and Maska; Renee Machen and Stella (showing in Rally); Jean Spellman and Star (Rally-Beau-D/Stella); Emily Edling and Revel (2nd place in Adv. Rally) and If I forgot someone, I didn’t mean too! Beau-D is already snoring so I’m going to go join him!

I never take any of this for granted and love the time I have in the ring and training Mr. B! Next stop-the AKC NOC

At the end of the day, I have Beau-D and that is what is most important to me. Mr. B will be back in my classroom doing his therapy work this weekend and my HIT/HC ribbons will be used as rewards for my reading students! Love you Beau-D!
