Morgan shows in Raleigh, NC

After a long break, Morgan headed back into the show ring this past weekend.
While her only placement was a Reserve Win on Sunday, she showed great! It was her debut in the "open" class and I was proud of the way she showed for me.
Below are some photos take both in the ring this weekend and outside at the fair grounds after the show.
Thanks as always to Mike for the Great photos!

Morgan places in AKC lure Coursing trial

AKC Lure Coursing Trial - SHOT (Williamsburg, VA)

It was wet and cold, this seems to be the norm lately. Despite that, Morgan had a good day! She had two good runs and ended up it a 1/2 tie in the open class of 13 dogs. She had a bit of a scary spill during the run-off. After a slide, roll, another roll and another slide, she got up and finished the run good and hard and seems to be fine...thankfully!
She ended up 2nd and gained another 2 points towards her AKC Championship title!

Great job Morgan - she hadn't run in several months and I was glad to see her come out and run hard. We have another day of running tomorrow, hopefully it will be successful as well, but we will be happy if she has fun and runs safe.

Handling class

Morgan and I had a great time this weekend. I decided to attend a handling seminar by George Alston. I learned a lot and hope that I can remember everything he suggested. At the end of the class, we had a competition and not only did Morgan and I win our class, we ended up going best handler in the class. It was a lot of fun and I highly recommend the class to anyone interested.
