Hi Dyanne-
     Once again, bringing you good news about one of your babies... W'Winds Ukan Talk About Me (Rebound) competed in his first "real" agility trial on Sunday. He had done some matches in the past and a Teacup Dog Agility Association trial, but this trial was truly "the big leagues.”It was a large indoor NADAC trial in Westminster, Maryland, hosted by Artful Dodgers. Baby Re was only entered in Tunnelers (a course of only tunnels!), Jumpers (jumps & tunnels) and Gamblers (a point accumulation game culminating in a distance exercise).

     Tunnelers was the first run of the day, and Rebound ran clean and fast to complete the course in 26 seconds - he was awarded a 1st place and a "Q" in a rather large 16" class!

     Next was Jumpers - he ran the course clean and fast in a mere 22 seconds (he would have been even faster except my handling was not the greatest). This run earned him another 1st place and "Q."

     His last run was Gamblers - we were only planning on playing around in this run, because I didn't want to put him on the contacts (they are not trained to the level I'd like yet) The contacts are worth the most points, so I knew already we had no chance of winning, plus the distance "gamble" was exceedingly difficult! Re made me proud by racking up 38 points, including awesome weave poles and nearly getting the gamble 10 feet away! The whistle blew to say "time's up" as we were headed for the last obstacle. All in all, a great start to what I hope will be a great career!  See ya!  Tracy Sklenar

Here is Rebound on the table getting ready to make his rounds (shown left) and here he is on the A-frame
( shown middle) And lastly the picture on the right is of Rebound learning to weave. He can now weave 
12 pole in about 2.4 seconds - a world class time!
