***   UKC AGILITY   ***

Dom earns 46 points towards his U-ACH (UKC Agility Champion) title.  I could not be prouder of Dom than this weekend ...

We went to the December 13 and 14, 2008 UKC Agility trial in Beltsville, MD--4 trials Saturday, 4 Sunday, and Dom qualified 8 for 8!!!!!
 
Because he recently earned his U-AG2,  we are now working on his U-ACH which requires 100 pts ... some from the U-AGI class and some from U-AGII class....to get points you pretty much have to have a clean run ..anything less than 196 = 0 points.

200 =  10 points
199  =   6 points
198  =   4 points
197  =   2 points
196 =    1 point

I think the Domster was whipped from yesterday as he slept all day in his crate ...I felt guilty waking him up for today's runs.  Courses today were a little tougher and he was a little more tired.  However, he earned a 200 in AGII for 10 points and this afternoon a 200 in AGI for 10 points.  The other runs for today were a 190 and 192, both Qs but no points.  Dom was one of the very few that qualified all 8 times, and in one weekend has a total of 46 points ... 20 today and 26 yesterday.

The trial was put on by K9 Konnection and the judge Saturday was Jean Watkins and Sunday was Edie Alyn.
