It was a new venue for us, but we will certainly come back for future events, since everything was just about perfect &#8211; parking close to the rings, plenty of space to set up, and nicely groomed grounds with good grass.<\/p>\n<p>The morning started with two rally runs, where we scored 95 in Excellent B (the deduction was for Quigley not holding his Honor Sit quite perfectly) and 100 in Advanced B, which was also second place out of 13 dogs and our first perfect run in AKC rally! This is our 42nd RAE leg.<\/p>\n<p>The truly big news for this weekend is all about Obedience though!<\/p>\n<p>We had to wait around from about 11 am to 1.30 pm for our Graduate Novice class to be judged. I was quite nervous, as we had tried 7 times (12\/12\/10, 1\/28\/11, 2\/19\/11, 2\/25 &amp; 2\/26\/11, 6\/18 &amp; 19\/11) since December 11th last year to earn that 3rd leg and failed each time for one reason or another. I was so ready to be done with Graduate Novice and would have been perfectly happy qualifying with the required minimum of 170 out of 200 points.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was a different story, and I wonder if the ring experience of the high-level exercises in APDT last weekend had something to do with it. I&#8217;m fairly certain that practicing for ASCA Rally Novice (on leash) since March had a positive effect, and possibly my change in posture, simply letting both arms hang naturally instead of carrying the left forearm across the front.<\/p>\n<p>We only lost<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4 points total on the Heel on Leash\/Figure 8 off Leash (which is amazing, considering that &#8220;silent&#8221; heeling in obedience is something Quigley doesn&#8217;t like),<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 point on the Drop on Recall,<\/li>\n<li>3 points on the Dumbbell Recall (he needed an additional cue to finish), and<\/li>\n<li>2 1\/2 points on the Recall over the High Jump (don&#8217;t remember what that was for, I could barely remember to breathe!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>No deductions on the Recall over the Broad Jump and 3-minute out of sight Long Down.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-617\" title=\"2011-10-16akc-gn_title\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mordanna.com\/quigley\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/2011-10-16akc-gn_title-213x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"213\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mordanna.com\/quigley\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/2011-10-16akc-gn_title-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/www.mordanna.com\/quigley\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/2011-10-16akc-gn_title.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Out of a group of four dogs only two qualified, and when we went back into the ring for awards, I nearly passed out when the judge called us for first place! I thought for sure the German Shepherd, whom I had watched in Graduate Open earlier, had won. Not that it mattered, I was just so glad it was over, but of course a blue ribbon is always a nice bonus!<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t describe how good it felt to delete all the future planned Grad Novice runs from my trial calendar today. &lt;G&gt; Now we can focus our obedience efforts on Open, with a (hopefully short) detour of ASCA Novice B (for which I have no plans to specifically train).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quigley and I had another fantastic day yesterday, at the trial of the Obedience Club of San Diego County, held at Markim Pet Resort.
