I taught 2o2o, switching to quick release and probably a running with some training. Can't win with the time it's taking for me to do my stopped contact, but I want to get thru Novice and Open with the baby before I start retraining.
 
That's the problem I'm going to have with my 16"er... the 2o2o is going to hurt his time. He's not a blazing fast kind of dog yet (he's still so green he'd rather run with me than do any working away)... but better for now to do the ends and not bail :x
My 14" that just barely made it into 12" though... she's another case. She's built in a similar way to a BC and man can she fly... She'd have been competitive in 16", but there's very little that'll be able to touch her in 12". Taking a second for ends on her isn't going to hurt her.
