The Spaniel Springs into AKC Agility

Angws made his AKC agility debut the first weekend in February. He Q'd in 4 of his six runs with placements in all, earning his first two Novice JWW legs, one Novice Standard leg, and a pretty solid Q in T2B (Time to Beat). I'm very happy with his debut. He held his start line stay for all runs, only blew one contact all weekend, and just had a couple of other baby dog hiccups that will smooth out as he gains experience.

Since his debut, Angws has had three more weekends out, the last one his first "away game". Especially when considering his age and experience, he's doing quite well. He completed both his Novice titles and as of last weekend now has two Open JWW legs and his first Open Standard leg.

Koan is feeling the heat of competition from her WSS housemate. Her Q rate has improved, and she's even earned a few double Qs in recent months. It seems that as I continue to run both of them together they are inspiring each other, and me (!) to do better.
