Couple of Kylo's runs last weekend! A little rain and mud might slow him down but it certainly doesn't stop him from chasing the trash bunnies.

Shout out to Mom for releasing him all weekend and Dad for playing videographer on Sunday.

Fletcher wrap up, in pictures, sort of 😅

It was a busy, soggy, muddy weekend at the Fletcher shows and Fast CAT trials, but the dogs still got it done!

💚Tico💙 earned her DCAT in her single run Friday (just the one pre entered due to potential agility conflicts), and started working on her FCAT with two more Fastest In Group awards Saturday and Sunday

🔥Kylo🔥 also ran Fast CAT Saturday and Sunday and finished up his DCAT. He showed Saturday through Monday, and came away with three Select Dogs for a few more points towards his GCH, Two BOBOH, and on Sunday was BBE BOB and BBE Group 3! Glad the club decided to allow champions to compete for Bred By this year, even if he was exhausted by Sunday night.

🧡Jyn🧡 qualified in six out of seven of her agility runs, earning two QQs and a big pile of invitational points, as well as earning three firsts, a second, and a third in her classes

🪽Gabe🪽 got to learn to be a dog show dog and got spinal radiographs done. Baby steps for him but I'm thrilled with how he's coming along.

Pretty girl, and proof that she CAN stand still. Sometimes. For a nanosecond.

Gabe got to ride along to Fletcher this weekend, where he got his spine x rays completed and submitted to OFA

He also got to try showing one day. It wasn't his favorite thing ever, but he also didn't completely hate it, and he was an excellent boy for the trip, including the RV stay with a bunch of new (to him) dogs, the airport across the street, and all kinds of other new sights, sounds, and sniffs!

Tried to get him to take some photos, wherein he promptly forgot what the word "stand" means. Terriers. 🥴

Exciting news for Tico this morning - pending AKC she completed her DCAT in Fletcher with Time to Fly!

She's hoping the rain clears up for the rest of the weekend but she still got it done!

After getting lost by USPS for a week, finally showing up in Arizona, and a failed delivery attempt over the weekend.... Gabe's Embark swab has arrived at the lab. We're really not expecting any surprises, but I am curious to see what percentage he comes back Rat Terrier. We've had a range from 0% to 19.2% so far - any guesses what Gabe comes back at?

His pedigree for those who want to do pedigree math is here:

Fast CAT Weekend Wrap Up

🔥Kylo🔥 ran six times and qualified every run with five of them being consecutive new personal best times! His fastest time is now over 26 MPH so while Tico makes him look like a slouch, he's really not 😅 he also earned his ATT Temperament Test title while we were there, and came home to add on CGCA, CGCU, and VHMA.

💙Tico💚 also ran and qualified six times. Both Saturday runs were new personal bests for her, but she's mostly found all her gears and this girl is FAST! Her last four runs were all over 27 MPH...and a few were over 27.5 👀 She was also Fastest Terrier In Group all three days (though the third ribbon is her Sunday Fastest in Group from the last trial we did.) She definitely thinks this game is the best thing ever.

I think these guys should also get bonus points for holding a stay for photos at a setup between the Fast CAT and Coursing Aptitude fields 😅

Kylo made it a FOUR title day today

In Monroe he passed his ATT "with flying colors" (evaluators words, not mine) as well as ran two more Personal Best times in Fast Cat!

We got home, ate dinner, and then went out for ice cream and some testing, where he passed his CGCA and CGCU as well as filled out the paperwork for the VHMA we'd evaluated a few weeks back 😅

Pending AKC, he will be

He's exhausted and so am I, but I am SO proud of my boy! He was 100% "on" when he needed to be, and completely flipped to "off" and was happy to chill while we hung out downtown - and all of that with two girls in season at home! I absolutely love this boy's biddability and adaptability.
