A Secret Mission

TAG - May 9, 2010

Cisco only came with us on Sunday for TAG this year. I had him entered in P2 Jumpers and P2 Snooker. Jumpers is by far Cisco’s favorite class of any venue we’ve done as there are no weaves and no contacts. Snooker is a class that he likes, he’s pretty good at and occasionally we get away without contacts or weave poles.

We weren’t that lucky this weekend as snooker had both 6 weave poles and an a-frame in it, but we still had a really nice run. He Q‘d and came in 2nd place. He weave poles were still as slow as molasses, but he did them and he had a very nice contact on the a-frame. 

Jumpers was the last class of the day and he had a really nice focused run. I can still outrun him and did beat him to the last jump, but he Q‘d and came in 1st place actually beating a dog in time — usually we’re barely under course time if we are at all. 

Our jumpers run reminded me how much fun it is to run Cisco when he’s on. I don’t have to over handle him — he just knows what is expected of him and we work really well together as a team. I hope to have many more runs like that with him in the future.
