Just came back from a show in Jackson.
We left Saturday to get the dogs used to the show site and to compete in the match. Here are the pictures from the match on Saturday.

Sit. Stay.
Joey, Beg.
We competed in Beginner Novice B on Sunday. There were a few reason why we went back to BN, but it was mainly because I felt that I rushed his obedience a bit and wanted to go back do the basics again and just have fun in the ring. We got catch unaware by our run. I knew it was coming but I didn't know it was coming so soon. I only realized it was our turn when someone called that the stewards were calling me. So I grabbed Joey and ran to the ring. However, just before I entered the ring, the judge asked me if I had a collar that didn't have a tag on it. I looked and lo and behold, I had forgotten to switch Joey's collar. So I ran back to my crates and swapped collars as fast as I could, zoomed back to the ring, took a deep breath, and started our run. Joey was not to thrilled with my before ring acrobatics and he let me know by not paying attention on the heeling and lagging on the figure eight. However, after the figure eight he decided to relax and the rest our our run went perfectly. We ended up getting third with a 195.5. The score wasn't that bad but if I had been prepared we would have scored much higher. Oh well, I've learned a lesson this weekend. I will not be unprepared again.
