Well 5 runs one with Cosmo and 4 with Storm NO Q's But I couldn't be happier, who would have thought no Q's and one of our best and most enjoyable trials ever.
AS predicted it was low 90's and high humidity Both days Brutle brutle brutle.

First Gamblers run
she did both mini's successfuly and had a 44 point opening but missed the gamble she almost went but balked as I stopped dead at the line, this pretty much happened both days. If I can move down the line with her it's not an issue but the dead stop and its breaks on

Jumpers day one, a great run but one dropped bar on a tight front cross,
the course was tight and sharp SCT was 33 seconds for 110 yds she ran a 17.82 at 6.1 YPS Fault 1 at 5 sec = 22.82 TT

NO Video someone left the camera on for the morning run and ran the battery dry OOPs. But it was a bit better then the run below actually.

Jumpers day 2: another awesome run the course was a bit more open
120 yds SCT 36 seconds and she was a bit quicker at 17.89 sceonds for a
6.7 YPS she just caught the top of the spread jump and ticked the bar off, we haven't done may spreads even in practice so we will work on this. Overall
this is an awesome run for a 20 Month old dog at 13 " tall jumping 16" hight.
and the handler did great too. after the problem we had with the tire at last week practice I decided not to lead out just to be safe which made it tougher on me as I had to run my butt off.

Video: watch this one;)

Cosmo advanced Gamblers Run, Good run for Cosmo started off a bit slow
but picked it up nice 35 point openings but handler error cause him to back jump in the gamble. considering it was his first time back at trail in 7 months I was ok with it.

WE really had a great weekend Storm was a hit with everyone, People were queing up to watch her run on day 2 even the Judge
Came over to talk to me about her and tell me how well she though she did for a fresh young dog so I am really happy Storm did great but we still have some stuff to work on and Cosmo actually is comming back a bit, all i9n all a good good weekend.

That is really an awesome, awesome weekend for the baby dog! She looks awesome. Sure, you have some things to work on...but that will always be true. She is clearly enjoying herself out there. Thanks for sharing your videos.
 
omgg that is a speedy lil rocket u got there!! lol
Great runs, she stays with you, that's for sure, amazing mini gambles... tricky course for a starters gamble!!
as a green handler all I can say weeee hang on tight, lol, Her mini gambles are rocking and she has a nice start line stay! what a great little girl!! It looks like a great weekend was had by all!

I make the mistake of stopping DEAD at the line, :winkgrin: I heard your better half saying bring her back, LOL I try and keep my arm out to support the line (again, NOT that I should give advice, lol, since my Instructor says I have flailing disco arms, lol) but your arm went down, Speedy Storm came back ;)
My Instructor sorta teaches us to teach the dog to go on like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUKKgMbkZe4
