This past weekend was fun (and hot) in Grinnell. Bing earned is DCAT (Fast CAT – the dogs earn points based on their MPH, and Bing has now accumulated 500 points to earn this title), even though he decided he was only into chasing the bag if I was catching him at the finish. He did get faster throughout the weekend, though. Still not his best times but not bad for the heat and other distractions.
Nash earned his first Barn Hunt title, RATN. To earn that, we had to find a rat hidden (safely) in a tube among hay bales, do a climb onto the hay and a tunnel, all under two minutes. He did it it in 44 seconds. We have to qualify in this manner three times to earn the title. We earned our first two Q’s a few months ago. At this event, we were the fastest novice team, so he got a first place award as well.
