How about those sucking tunnels, for example, or the contacts that pop the dogs right off them just before they get to the yellow zone? It's epidemic.<BR/><BR/>And there ya go, someone else who can whomp out those Super-Qs but not get Standard legs. What's with that?<BR/>-ellenElfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-74070095265631481832007-07-03T21:23:00.000-07:002007-07-03T21:23:00.000-07:0014 USDAA trials in a year??!! We have 7 and 3 of those are 2 1/4 hours away. The next closest trials are 6 1/2 to 8 hours away. Sigh, I'm jealous, I live in AKC land.<BR/><BR/>Cody and Lola are 1 Q away from their master Snooker and Gamblers titles, Lola has 2 Super Q's, they each have 3 Jumpers legs but only 1 standard leg between them earned just this past weekend. It's all the table's fault I tell you.Elaynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-2094082257749876692007-07-03T10:51:00.000-07:002007-07-03T10:51:00.000-07:00Cool! I wish there were tons of time for socializing, because there are several new people I'm looking forward to meeting (or re-meeting). Although this year might be the first year ever that I'll have only one dog entered at Nationals, unless A Miracle Happens with Boost in August/September. So I might have a chance to almost relax. :-)<BR/><BR/>-ellenElfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-13251890009871651252007-07-03T10:30:00.000-07:002007-07-03T10:30:00.000-07:00Hey Elf! <BR/>Just wanted to let you know that I'll definately be at USDAA Nationals with Denver (in the Champion program) and Gypsy (in the Preferred program). So I'll hope to meet you in person there!nightowlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04773076278368590387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-54633957629711170782007-07-03T09:51:00.000-07:002007-07-03T09:51:00.000-07:00Wow, 7 Steeplechase Qs! That's impressive. But no standards!? It's always interesting to see the combinations of strengths and weaknesses in various teams of handler/dog. With me and Remington, it was Standard Qs. With me and Jake, it was Gamblers for the longest time, but that seems to be a strength with me and Tika. With me and Tika, it was Jumpers, but that was what Jake made Top Ten in. I've never done great at Steeplechase or Super-Qs with any dog. ....Oh, wait, who's counting? ;-)<BR/><BR/>Then I have a friend whose dog had his Snooker Master title before he made it to masters in anything else. Or, on the other side, the steady team who cranked out dozens of Standard, Jumpers, Pairs, and Gamblers legs in masters but couldn't get those Super-Qs...when they finally earned the 3rd, it was their SM, ADCH, SCh, and SCh-Bronze, and maybe SCh-Silver all with that one Q. <BR/><BR/>And, as you note, those super-achievers whose dogs make it to Masters in 4 trials and then, 6 months later, have their ADCH. That won't ever be me.<BR/><BR/>-ellenElfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-13938401243098110162007-07-03T07:20:00.000-07:002007-07-03T07:20:00.000-07:00At 3.5 yo, Flirt has her RM, JM, 3 gamblers legs, 3 snooker legs (1 super Q), 7 Steeplechase Qs. NO GP Qs, NO DAM Qs and NO Masters Standard Qs. <BR/><BR/>Around here dogs that weren't born when Flirt debuted have the ADCH already. <BR/><BR/>But who's counting? :-D<BR/><BR/>/amyFlirt the Squirthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08243610775853872002noreply@blogger.com
