This time, Ria Putzker captured Luigi on camera, and the photos of the gentleman are magnificent!

We were at ISAC for the first round of the series, but we made it to the second one. This is always one of our favorite competition of the year.
Nia took two first places in the qualifying runs, and Nova took on second place.
Now they are both taking a little break for the year, with Nia getting 6 weeks and Nova getting 8 weeks of “vacation” from agility 🙂

We received photos and an agility video from Rocket’s owner. It’s amazing how time flies, Rocket is no longer a puppy, he has grown into a beautiful young boy! Sabine and Pascal: thank you for taking such good care of him!

Nia, Nova, and Fox competed in this year’s DogFlow Open. In the qualifying runs, Fox came in 1X 3rd, while Nia took 4X 1st places.
All three made it to the finals, which Nia ultimately won.
Of Nia’s five winning runs, she also had the best time four times, from all sizes

This year, ISAC was held in Italy. After skipping last year, Nia and Nova were back on the starting line, this time both as A3 dogs. Qualifying for the finals this year was subject to fairly strict criteria (the top 3 finishers in each class, out of nearly 120 dogs in A3). Nia qualified with a 3rd place finish in jumping and ultimately won the mini category.

This weekend Nia and Nova competed.
Nia: Open Jumping and J3 1st place
Nova: Open Jumping 1st place, 2X A3 2nd place.

It’s amazing, but a year has already passed… It feels like it was just yesterday that we sat there at dawn next to Nia, waiting for the first arrival… I remember every minute…
Happy birthday to all three little ones!

This year, we had the opportunity to participate in the Helvetic Agility Masters for the first time. The venue is incredibly beautiful, the organization is professional, and the atmosphere is phenomenal. We ran on fantastic courses, and Nova and Nia performed perfectly. Nia qualified for the individual final with a winning jumping run (video), and they also made it to the team final with a great team. Unfortunately, I made a mistake in each of Nova’s runs, but she didn’t let it affect her this time either (video).
