I knew it

Legend is fast. She's also smart, athletic, and full of energy. She has the potential to be one of the top 20 inch dogs. But usually she only shows that potential at home. Today she finally proved she could do it in the ring. She ran faster than she ever has, weaved like a dog on a mission and had a time comparable to those who actually placed. Of course she wasn't clean but at least I know she can do it. The question is, was it a fluke or are we on a gradual trend of improvement and faster times. Only time will tell-but it gives me hope that she someday live up to her full potential.

Her JWW run started out good, and she continued to build speed but I felt she could be doing better. So I started running faster and took my eyes off her for a second. During that second we lost our connection and she was off course. Oh well, no guts no glory.

We didn't get any Qs today but it sure was fun running my happy, fast dog! I hope she comes to all the trials.
