Hope you guys aren't getting sick of me! I am so proud of Belle!!!!
She had her second trial over the weekend, we are just doing 1 day for now. This trial she double "Q'd", and actually won both her runs!!! She was awesome.
Her original trainer was there, and he had discounted her as being slow and non enthusiastic. He came up to me and said he is surprised at her turn around. He could not get over how fast she was, and he said she never took her eyes off me for one moment. He was truly impressed. I was nice and thanked him for his kind words, and said how Denise (current trainer) has found the true Belle and brought the fun into her.
I was also pleased because this was her first indoor trial. When we practice at class, she is good but not a speed demon. At the outdoor trial I was not prepared for my fast dog. I wondered going into this event if she would be like the outdoor trial dog or the class dog. She quickly let me know upon getting there. She trotted into the venue, relaxed and happy not knowing where she was going. As soon as she saw the agility course being set, she started dragging DH toward the course barking! She wanted to go play NOW!!!!
I am so thrilled to have found something she really seems to love. IF all goes well next Saturday, she may have completed her first title. Let's just hope her mother doesn't hold her back.
