As Promised...Happy Stanley
We had a good time this weekend at the USDAA trial! We ended up with a 1st in snooker, 2nd in pairs, 3rd but NQs in gamblers, jumpers and standard. It's getting there!

I seriously laughed during that entire clip. There's something about a ball of fur flying through the air that I find hilarious. I LOVE IT! He's so cute!
We've been looking for a dog ourselves (looking hard to find the right little guy for us) and I keep telling my husband how much fun agility seems to be!
I wish you'd tell us a little more about the types, though. I am googling what snooker and gambler are!
The snooker and gamblers classes are different kinds of games where you make up your own course...gamblers involves the dog having to send away from you over a line and work remotely (which my dogs are a bit too clingy for), snooker involves putting together an opening within the constraint of certain rules (must always do a red jump in between obstacles) and then running a closing in a set order for more points. People frequently hate snooker because their dog takes the wrong thing and they get whistled off the course but my dogs being clingy helps there.

I heart him!
You two are an awesome pair! I love watching your agility videos - Stanley looks like he's having a blast the entire time too!
