I decided to give Nago another try at Open in barnhunt (we had gone back to novice to work on litter discrimination.)

I'm happy to report he didn't hit on litter all day, got two open Qs, and a first place and second place.

And if he hadn't argued with me about the tunnel, we would have had lightning fast times. He thinks it's stupid to do a tunnel when there might be more rats out there....

The crew had a great rally trial in Azle this weekend!

Sonic picked up her first 3 choice legs (she had one 1st place with a perfect score and a 4th place also).

She earned 3 master legs, two 4th place finishes and 16 master points (32 to go for her RACH).

Nago earned his excellent title with 2 firsts and a second.
