EID Classic

I am super busy organizing the Canadian Finals which are this weekend. That is my excuse for the late weekend report.

The EID Classic is a great trial. The field is vast with rolling hills, your dog could run out for miles if they weren't looking for their sheep. This year we had Beverly Lambert join the cast of super talented Alberta handlers.

I have decided to give Isla a rest for a while before the National finals. Instead Rob and I made our trial debut. We are not totally in sync yet but we are pretty close. I ran Rob Pro Novice. The first day he ran out well, had a good fetch and a nice drive but we missed the first set of drive panels. In the end we ended up 9th out of 25 dogs. The second day we hit all our panels but had some trouble at the pen finished up 10th.
