This weekend we travelled to Conway, AR to spend some time with Hattie's breeder and co-owners. Fable was entered in the breed ring and Hattie was entered in Beginner puppy with her sister. Fable ended up taking Select/BOBOH both days, though he showed unlike himself. Hattie was the star winning BOB and Group 1 both days! She was an absolute rockstar! So proud of her!
We headed to Limestone, TN for LGRA and the sighthound only Fast CAT this weekend! It's been over a year since we've done LGRA or Fast CAT so I wasn't sure how things would go.
In LGRA, Fable was the only one running, as Json hasn't had any box training. Fable's scores from 2022 were good enough to keep him in the high point race, and that's where he stayed all weekend. Fable won both meets completely undefeated in a field of 11 Ibizans! Fable earned 4 points both Saturday and Sunday leaving him just a 1/2 point away from his GRC and just one meet away from his SSR! In Fast CAT, Json ended up being the fastest Ibizan of the weekend clocking in at 28.69mph! Json also finished his BCAT! With their runs from this weekend the boys should both land in the top 5 for Ibizans in Fast CAT this year. Hattie had a great time and got to do some baby box practice! We headed out to Fayetteville, AR for this year's Beezer Bash! Fable showed Friday and Saturday, and both boys ran ASFA on Friday and both days of AKC Lure Coursing Saturday and Sunday.
Fable showed well both days but didn't place in a deep quality entry. He showed happily and moved well. Both boys ran well on Friday, taking 3rd (Json) and 4th (Fable). Fable also won the performance stake! During the weekend trials Fable helped QC one of the ridgebacks and then continued to run well with Fable placing 5th and Json just out of the ribbons on Saturday. On Sunday Json placed 3rd and Fable just out of the ribbons. Hattie had so much fun hanging out and meeting everyone. She even got to do a puppy bump! We attended the DAKC Agility Trials this weekend. Fable had a beautiful run to (re)finish his Open Jumpers With Weaves title after losing several qualifying scores due to a paperwork error. So proud of my Moose puppy! Fable had some really nice components to his Excellent level runs this weekend, just couldn't quite put it all together.
Json got himself a little bit scared on Friday, but rallied for two strong runs on Saturday and was just shy of qualifying. Another NLCC is in the books!
This year the event was held in Ardmore, OK. The event was very well run and you could easily tell how much time and care went into it. Friday the boys ran well but missed the ribbons. Saturday the boys had some lovely runs with Fable placing 5th and Json tying with the lovely Pippi for 1st! After a cold and rainy runoff, Json ended up winning Specials Stake A! Then Json and his cousin Beetlejuice got to run together for BOB! Json and Beetlejuice also won the Breeder Stake for Ibizans together! I completely miscalculated how many runs J had towards his MC, but he did earn his MC at the NLCC too! Good job Baby Spice! It was great meeting folks I have only known online and seeing folks I haven’t seen in a while! I also got to huntmaster a couple breeds and the breed runoffs this year which was a bit stressful, but went pretty well overall. While I didn’t come home with any raffle prizes, I did come home with some new line burn We travelled out to Olive Branch to support the young club out there. Json won Specials/BOB one day and was 2nd place the next. Fable was last one day and second to last the next. Peanut enjoyed hanging out and cheerleading from her fancy pen set up! If I mathed right, with this trial Json has surpassed 100 Bowens Points this year! He's my first dog to do so and I'm so proud of him!
Had a ton of fun with GANG for their Halloween Lure Coursing Trial in Georgia! Json won the specials stake each day to finish his Lure Courser Excellent (LCX) title! He is my first dog to earn the title and I'm so proud of him! Json also won the costume contest for his Borat costume. Fable ran well and only big brained a little bit placing 3rd and 5th.
Fable and I competed in our very first Dryland Mushing competition, even if it was virtual. Fable did so well despite the early morning and cool weather. We even placed 6th! Very proud of my moose puppy!
We attempted a new event! Two dog canicross! We signed up for a 10k and less than 1k into the event the boys nearly took me out completely. Unfortunately, it meant that we hobbled through the rest of the race, but we finished and the boys did so well!
