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 HOTC February AKC Agility Trials this weekend. The trial was Json's debut in 'big kid' agility and he did so incredibly well! Json was entered in Fast, Novice Standard, and Novice Jumpers with Weaves on Saturday.
He was understandably distracted during his Fast run, and our goal was to try out all of the contact equipment and the tunnel to make sure nothing was feeling scary. He handled all the equipment like a pro! For his standard and jumpers runs he was still a little distracted but held it together so well and managed to earn his first qualifying scores with 2 first placements! Beyond proud of my best Baby Spice! Fable had some really nice runs as well, but we are still pulling some skills together. 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.
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!
The crew and I went to our very first ASFA II in Virginia! We had a lot of fun! Json placed 5th and 3rd place in some top notch competition. Fable placed 6th and 5th place. Fable also got to be the test dog for the Gillette stake and had tons of fun!
