Every Sunday I practice with Ann and some friends. My mom and dad come to watch and this summer, my nephew Kenji came to practice too. We usually practice with Eric and his 11-year-old Cocker Spaniel, Amber. Eric also has a new puppy, Cadence, who is a beautiful Cocker Spaniel and full of energy. Judith and her Russell Terriers, Fiona and Hunter usually practice with us too. Judith has another Russell Terrier, Scout, but she’s just a puppy (not old enough for agility) and competes in the confirmation ring because she’s pretty. Scout was competing this weekend so they weren’t at practice today. These are some videos of today’s practice. Ann makes me RUN RUN RUN. Yikes.
This is an Open Standard course that was at the Columbia, SC trial a couple of weeks ago. We set it up to try it.
This is an Open JWW course from the trial I went to in Columbia, SC. We modified it and put a threadle in it because Ann’s not solid on threadles yet. I’m practicing blind crosses, which is hard because Ann is so fast and I actually have to be in front of her to do a blind cross.
Short video of us practicing a blind cross.
Here is Eric and Amber’s practice run. Keep in mind that Amber is 11 years old!!! She’s still moving pretty fast for an 11-year-old!
This is little Scout in competition at the Hanover Kennel Club Dog Show at Legion Stadium. She is such a sweetie! Scout won Best of Breed and Winner’s Dog and Group One Owner Handler both days this weekend. She’s got a really long name that I don’t remember. She’s a legit purebred dog, unlike Ann. Lol.

Wow what an awesome blog!! This was so cool to read about your history with Ann Perkins and about my Aunt Judy.
I feel very honored to have met you and Miss Ann Perkins!
Thank you! We are working hard and really if it wasn’t for your Aunt Judy, I probably would still be just practicing. She is the one who pushed us to start competing. Thank you so much for your kind words!
