If they'd clean up there act in other areas, I'd play in their agility venue since they allow mutts now. Their new T2B looks really fun and I like how their courses are flowing these days. I also like the 2-3 runs per day too. Except that I hear your first and second runs could be hours and hours apart from each other, pending on the club and if they offer all 4 classes...true?Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02583382547632638871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-75669593112331729352013-04-21T19:56:49.165-07:002013-04-21T19:56:49.165-07:00Yes, there is that...

But if Secret really only *tries* for the first two runs of a day does it make much difference? ;) I figure for as steady as she is, those 20 QQ shouldn't take that long. Except that I don't see us doing more than a few AKC trials per year, so it could take several years to actually get there!Karissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01605123382073277736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-88222563891942531212013-04-21T19:51:26.021-07:002013-04-21T19:51:26.021-07:00But it's more than twice as expensive as every...But it's more than twice as expensive as everything else :)Laura and The Corgi, Toller, & Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06437492165453445126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-39166087458356667432013-04-21T09:06:38.517-07:002013-04-21T09:06:38.517-07:00It's so funny to hear about AKC trials not fil...It's so funny to hear about AKC trials not filling elsewhere in the country. I live in an AKC hotspot, with a trial nearly every weekend offered within a 100 mile radius. We have USDAA here to a lesser extent as well and some CPE, but NADAC is gone in our area. AKC is really the big organization around here.<br /><br />I like the two run format of AKC and although the Novice and Open waiting times are a little ridiculous, the day is usually pretty short for Excellent level dogs. I also like the style of the courses as it really tends to suit Marge, who is moderate in every way in her running style.<br /><br />Hope you get to try it!<br /><br />Sam & MargeDogSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146649374510678844noreply@blogger.com
