BRAGS!!!![]() ![]() Miss Chalupa ![]() ![]() Well, I am thrilled to write that Chalupa completed her Level 1 points title at the Y Agility trial in July running some challenging courses judged by Kim Stumph. Reaching this milestone was a grand adventure for us, so I looked up what it took for us to accomplish it. Here are the stats: 1. Total qualifying legs required – 51 2. Time from first Q to last Q – 28 months 3. Number of trials – 18 4. Number of judges shown under – 14 (thanks to y’all for your patience and good humor while we run the course) 5. Number of states where her Q’s were earned – 6 (it’s as if we are in a witness protection program) 6. Qualifying legs by class: a. Standard – 3 b. FullHouse – 7 c. Jumpers – 8 d. Snooker – 5 e. Jackpot – 7 f. Colors – 10 g. Wildcard – 11
Paraphrasing Sue F. of New Hampshire, it really does take a village to title a dog. Special thanks are due to the following handlers for their help and encouragement – Bob, Taylar, Carrie, Trisha, and especially Chris, who proved that a high, squeaky voice does make that little dog happy (alas, this is not one of my talents). Thanks for taking the pressure off of Chalupa and allowing me many opportunities to watch my little girl having a lot of fun. Who knows, maybe there is a CT-ATCH in her future.... Jeff and Chi-wow-wow! Chalupa ![]()

We are so happy and proud of our 3 year old Boston
Terrier, Quincy, who achieved a "Perfect Weekend" at the Stockade
Agility CPE trial in Glenville, New York this past weekend. Quincy went
8 for 8 in his Level 2 Full House, Jumpers, Colors, Jackpot, Wildcard,
Snooker and two Standard runs. A little perspective on this
accomplishment: three years ago when Quincy came into our lives, we were
first time dog owners who had absolutely no clue even how to train a dog
to sit, let alone compete in the performance sport of agility. We were
determined to succeed, and luckily, we found Trisha Stall and AgileDogs.
We started taking lessons with Trisha (and her colleagues Lisa Norris,
Bob Domfort, Chris Penna and Mariday Geyer) and we have come farther
than we ever thought possible. Since then, Quincy has earned his
CPE Level 1 Titles in Standard and Games (Handler, Strategy and Fun) and
now the perfect weekend legs toward his Level 2 Titles. Trisha's
positive training methods have produced great results for us in terms of
qualifying scores, and that is exciting and rewarding. But even more
than that, our association with AgileDogs has introduced us to a
fantastic, supportive group of friends and teachers in the agility
community who have made the sport even more fun than we thought it could
be. Our thanks to Trisha and AgileDogs for helping us make our agility
dreams come true!!
![]() ![]() Trooper Q'd 7 of 8 times. He dropped the last bar in Standard or it would be 8 for 8! He was wonderful. Thank you for suggesting to me to enter the CPE shows. Would you believe we have 11 Q's in 2 shows? I am aiming for the Nationals. This is so fantastic for Trooper, he was tired and very hot, but he worked with me and showed his heart. So if you don't try you don't know what you can do. Joanna and Trooper ![]() Liesl (finally) earned her last CPE level 2 title on 8/14/11 at the AgileDogs CPE trial. We're qualified for Nationals, yahoo! ![]()
