This was her second such event. She did great. She now has a personal best of 6 feet 10 inches. She was on a roll that weekend. Too bad there isn't another event this year.
Hopefully by the spring Nova will not forget to JUMP into the pool. :-)

Nova was at Carrot Fest for an Ontario DockDogs event in Bradford, Ontario from Aug 22 & 23, 2009.

It was her first time at such event and she had never jumped into a pool before. It's different than jumping off the dock into the lake. I soon found that out. However, she did jump in. Not far but she went in. :-)

Nova was at the Ontario Breeders Association Dog Show from February 20 to 23, 2009 at the Markham Fairgrounds. We came close to Winners for the first 3 days. I can honestly say it was Handler error. The handler was me!
Finally, I got rid of some nerves and found my groove and won Best of Opposite Sex getting 2 points for Nova. So, that gives Nova 6 points in total towards the 10 she needs for her CKC Championship. Thank you judge, Barbara Heal.
