She had a minor meltdown and forgot how to weave on the set of 12 in round 5 (the weavers round), so when she skipped some poles in round 6 I just went on and took the 20 point fault (she wasn't in the running for anything anyhow). Thankfully she got her weaves back for round 7, but who knows what that was all about!<br /><br />She's matured a lot since then, so hopefully we won't have as many "baby dog" issues -- but her back is so sensitive that four days of weaving does tend to get to her.<br /><br />I've thought about trying the chiro on site, but that whole deal with getting your vet to sign off on a consent form just sounds like a pain. If I presented that to our vet chiro I almost feel like she'd get offended or something. lol I know, not rational, but she's different.<br /><br />I'm sure Porter will rock those weaves this year! :o) That's a great group of dogs in the 4/8 vet class.Karissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01605123382073277736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-35320028338601113072013-09-19T09:43:36.353-07:002013-09-19T09:43:36.353-07:00Porter & I are in Reg 04-08-Vet/JH.
I just ho...Porter & I are in Reg 04-08-Vet/JH.<br /><br />I just hope he weaves this year... We could have kicked some ass in 2011, but he only weaved once the entire week :(Merindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06084422735540499496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-55058860369114509002013-09-18T23:40:53.895-07:002013-09-18T23:40:53.895-07:00I went as a spectator to a NADAC Champs back in 20...I went as a spectator to a NADAC Champs back in 2006 I think - it was in Missouri. It was actually a lot of fun to watch. My wife won the 16" regular class that year. That was the last one she did though, because of all the changes.<br />Well one good thing is with fewer dogs, you have a better shot at a placement!Greg Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275468835940333887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-67481208888323393112013-09-18T18:51:24.871-07:002013-09-18T18:51:24.871-07:00Thanks!

That would be thanks to Sharon's one ring, one dog at a time rule to "encourage" people to watch & cheer for every run. The posted limit is 250 dogs. I do hope to get to Cyno or AKC Nats one day to experience a national event on a far greater scale.<br /><br />Champs is it's own beast, but it can be a lot of fun. Well, it was fun in 2011 in Springfield. It was pure misery in 2009 in TN... lol Hoping for the best this year!Karissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01605123382073277736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-57527155156498292013-09-18T14:04:07.665-07:002013-09-18T14:04:07.665-07:00One day you will have to attend the festival that ...One day you will have to attend the festival that is the USDAA Nationals or the AKC Nationals with 1000 dogs! I was lucky to squeak into finals with Skye last year at AKC with I think just 7% going to the finals.<br /><br />I hope you do great!!!Greg Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275468835940333887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-62178229233999127112013-09-18T10:12:09.026-07:002013-09-18T10:12:09.026-07:00So weird!
