    Z got her AD today!!

     Ziva is now Stardog's Can't Take the Sky, AD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Big Smile Big Smile

    This weekend was our 3rd trial (3rd and 4th days of trialling) and Z did just wonderfully.

    RESULTS

    Saturday
    Starters Snooker: 1st and Q, time of 42.73 and 40 points
    Grand Prix: NQ - handler error (I got lost big time lol)
    Starters Standard: 2nd and Q, time of 49.17, SCT of 71; we placed second to our Pairs partner by only .61s!
    Starters Gamblers: 1st and Q, time of 42.57 and 49 points, 24 points required for Q

    Sunday
    Starters Gamblers: 1st and Q, time of 43.33 and 38 points (17 points to Q)
    Starters Standard: 1st and Q, time of 48.2, SCT of 71
    Starters Pairs: 1st and Q, time of 25.36 and no faults with required time+faults of 76! Our team was 1st out of ALL the Starters Pairs by almost 40 seconds!

    I'm soooooooo proud of my girl! Smile It's so much fun to run her - she likes to do agility for the sport of it, not just for the reward at the end.

     Thanks guys!

    AD = Agility Dog.  It's the first big title in the USDAA Championship class (three standard Qs, one Q in each of the 4 games). The middle level is AAD (Advanced Agility Dog), then MAD (Masters Agility Dog), and the ultimate is ADCH (Agility Dog CHampion).

    Re: Z got her AD today!!

     To make things even more confusing, in addition to the AD/AAD/MAD/ADCH titles (considered Versatility titles because they involve legs in a variety of classes), there are also titles in individual classes.  This weekend Z also completed her Starters Standard Agility, Starters Jumpers, and Starters Gamblers titles.

    Big congrats!!

    LOL, the agility titles in agility seem to be confusing in all of the venues. Our AAC (the Canadian version) is similar, although a bit different.
