The weather was perfect today for Brookhaven Kennel Club's agility trial. Here is today's news:

Michelle Foster and her BC Billy won their very first Novice standard class.

Sandy Washburn and her Golden Trader got their 2nd AX leg with a first place.

Lise Pratt and her Golden Dart got their second Open JWW leg with a first place.

Kathy Kealey and her Labrador Mollie QQ'd in Excellent B today!!

Karen Lechner and her young Labrador Grady got out for their first Long Island trial. Although they did not qualify, Karen tells me that running Grady has reminded her of what this sport is all about - developing a relationship with your dog and having fun!!! Something that I hope I never forget - thank you Karen and Grady for sharing that with me!!!

This is the first of what I hope will be many posts sharing the news from SNAP students about their Qs and titles at agility trials throughout the year. Future posts will be composed from information sent to me directly from our students, in an effort to be accurate and to not forget someone. But since this is the first post I am doing it from memory. I apologize in advance if I forget someone.

Here are today's results:

Stefanie Rainer and her Pap MACH Storm won the 12" Excellent B JWW class.

Ellie Hughes and her BC Lark won their 20" Open JWW class.

Dorene Evans and her Aussie Zooey won their 20" Excellent B JWW class.

Dorene Evans and her Aussie Vico won their 16" Excellent B JWW class.

Joanne Hass and her ESS Timely took 2nd in 16" Excellent B JWW.

Terry Nolan and her Sheltie Keeper took 3rd in the 16" Excellent B JWW class.

Ann Marie Weis and her BC Smudge finished their AXJ title today with a 1st place.

Bob Santoli and his PWD Casey finished their AXJ title today.

Karen Lechner qualified with Helene Friedwald's Golden Retriever Boomer in 24" Excellent B.

Lisa Jacobs and her Aussie Molly Q'd in 20" Excellent B JWW, with 2nd place.

My Golden Retriever Cash placed 4th in 20" Excellent B JWW class for her 7th MXJ leg.

Lise's Golden Retriever Dart got her first OAJ leg with a second place.

As I said, I am sure I have forgotten someone. If I have, let me know about your Qs and titles and I will be happy to post them.
