We traveled to Reno again this year for the AKC Nationals. Only Dottie was entered this year. My goal was for 1 clean run (and hopefully a placement!) in the regular classes. Sadly, I didn't meet my goal, but happily I was "thrown a bone" when Dottie won the 24 inch Premier Standard Class! She won $102 also! I will post the videos at some other time, but I was very surprised we qualified, much less won. The Premier Class is an extra hard standard class and I was totally late on all my cues, didn't get where I needed to be, and even forgot the course at one point! And yet we still won. Dottie is so good.

Our 3 runs in the regular courses were not clean. Standard was good but I think we had a bar. Jumpers was a disaster. I couldn't quite get my head around it and it showed. Hybrid was good but also not clean.
Here are some other pictures from our trip.

| Fancy watching the competition. |

| Most days our jump height competed last, so I was the last car in the parking lot. |

The pictures I ordered for the competition came in the mail today. I think they all show how athletic Dottie is and how hard she tires. All pictures by Great Dane Photos.
