Agility Events
PASA is holding four agility trials in
2008.
March 22/23: Turlock Fair Grounds
May 17/18: Workin' Paws
August 2/3: Workin' Paws
October 11/12
March 28/29
This event was a pretty big
deal. Delta ASC was holding conformation shows and PASA
held three obedience shows at the same location. So, a number of
our competitors were running around to one or two more
places. Thanks to trial chair, Donna
Highstreet and trial secretary, Dave Connet for a great trial.
The weather was on the cool side and partly cloudy and the
atmosphere was very pleasant.
The trial was almost
full. We had "NQ" raffles on Saturday and Sunday
which were big
hits, as usual. The pot luck Saturday night with Delta ASC was
awesome.
Congratulations to our ATCH-SP winner, Annette
Dusa and Peyton.

High in Trial awards were given at
this trial. In the Veteran's group Dave Connet and his Aussie,
Megan, could almost do no wrong turning in a 9.5 for 10
weekend. Deborah Ogg and her Corgi, Porsche, swept the Open
group. Junior Handler, Linnea
Shorey, arrived with her whippet, Buddie, just in time for the
last class on Saturday and finished the day on Sunday with four
Qs. The excitement was in Novice and Elite. Both
groups ended up with dogs tied in points. In
Novice, Geri Lu Jurey and her Aussie, Rita, bested Patricia Fries
and her Mini
Aussie, Chance, in the time tie breaker. Jean Danver and
her Aussie, Chaps, had a 1 Q lead going into the 1st round of jumpers
on Sunday only to get confused on a tunnel entrance.
This gave Liza Buckner and her Aussie, Taiko, a slight lead in
time going into the last jumpers round. The two dogs
finished
1/2 in jumpers with Taiko winning by 2/10s of a second.
