Being a kind of small club (& half obedience peeps)not sure if there's anyone who would step up to take on an additional event either. I know between young dogs, herding, agility, flyball, obedience and rescue (not to mention a day job too) I'm maxed out!Ginanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-47112061791303286402012-02-15T10:25:05.450-08:002012-02-15T10:25:05.450-08:00Oh, I knew you guys did USDAA before -- I was just...Oh, I knew you guys did USDAA before -- I was just thrilled to see someone else I knew in my class. :o)<br /><br />I quite enjoy NADAC as well, just not the direction it seems to be going at the moment. It's disappointing, but I am looking forward to trying something new at the same time.<br /><br />So.... Any chance of MMBC looking towards USDAA in the future? *grin*Karissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01605123382073277736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-39477118695450700352012-02-15T10:20:56.777-08:002012-02-15T10:20:56.777-08:00Jim and Gina are not jumping ship at all.

We did a little USDAA years ago, until the dogs got too old to jump those heights (before Performance and vet were added). We're just checking in out again after all these years. Might be an option, might not.Ginanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-3744998444603322382012-02-15T06:31:22.210-08:002012-02-15T06:31:22.210-08:00The order of the rings go, Ring 1 is Starters, whi...The order of the rings go, Ring 1 is Starters, which is to the far north of the building, then ring 2 is masters, then the main crating area for the masters ring, then farthest south is the auctioneering hall that people also can crate in.Kim Schaeferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05247695912092762761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-78491197617328175472012-02-14T21:33:23.043-08:002012-02-14T21:33:23.043-08:00Thanks, Kim!

Rich was trying to explain crating to me - I think giving up the "extra heated" space will be worth it to have closer proximity (and thus, less stress). Secret will be wearing her BoT coat all day, anyhow - I'll just make Kaiser wear a coat all day, too. It sounds like the way to go.Karissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01605123382073277736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-72230711996716291762012-02-14T20:28:13.223-08:002012-02-14T20:28:13.223-08:00Crating is iffy, it depends on which ring you are ...Crating is iffy, it depends on which ring you are trialing in. IF there is room you can crate right next to the Starters/Advanced ring. Otherwise it can be a bit of a run if you want to crate in the heated lobby instead of in the arena. I *think* Round 1 of Steeplechase is in the Starters/Advanced ring as well so something to consider.Kim Schaeferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05247695912092762761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-22596466190310055692012-02-14T16:15:30.383-08:002012-02-14T16:15:30.383-08:00Good luck with USDAA-I have not tried that venue y...Good luck with USDAA-I have not tried that venue yet. I want a boy dog too next time. Actually I wanted a boy when I got Legend but oh well! Then Lyric, well she's too cute to be a boy. So maybe next time.<br /><br />Also, I much prefer geldings to mares.Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547292170354458260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-52540517252382067992012-02-14T11:58:10.304-08:002012-02-14T11:58:10.304-08:00See, I knew there were people out there who felt t...See, I knew there were people out there who felt that way! Good thing, too, because otherwise we'd never have puppies. :o)<br /><br />I have a horse friend who has always been a total mare person. I can't stand mares -- you couldn't pay me to have one. Differences are good, it's what makes the world go round.<br /><br />I'm just quirky; I've never had a huge number of female friends, either. lolKarissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01605123382073277736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-80976617512917732542012-02-14T11:39:18.954-08:002012-02-14T11:39:18.954-08:00Your comment about girl dogs just makes me laugh. ...Your comment about girl dogs just makes me laugh. I love my girls because they're so feisty, independent and in general, both a total PITA most of the time ;) Our boy foster dog on the other hand is just way to nice and biddable!
