Zen had two awesome weekends of agility at the USDTC and TBAC trials in November. She earned her second qualifying score and a first place in Novice FAST at our USDTC trial. She earned two qualifying scores and first places in Novice Standard at the TBAC trial the following weekend. One more qualifying score in each class and she earns a title. At both trials, she has come really close to earning her first qualifying score in Excellent Jumpers with Weaves but those pesky entries to the weaves poles elude her. She is a rock star.
