Agility at Senzeille

Senzeille! Second place twice! She enjoys the intermediate category. Still no faultless run, but that will come at some point. The Jumping was so close to being faultless!

This time we got 2 signatures! Both with 1 fault. Now we need to have 2 faultless runs (one must be in agility).

After remeasuring Kaïa, the judges decided that she could be moved to the Intermediate category!

I’m really happy because I can run right away in this category! And guess what: not a single bar felt on the Jumping and two bars on the agility. I can’t jump to a conclusion, I think she needs to adjust to the new height.

She struggles with the jumps even on simple courses: I see bars on the ground. This is becoming a bit depressing to me. I know she can do so much better!

Listening to people around me, I asked a French judge to remeasure my dog and, for him, there is no doubt: Kaïa should be in Intermediate (jumping 50cm) and not in large (jumping 60 cm). This could explain a lot!
I will ask to remeasure Kaïa in Belgium! Moving to Intermediate would be good anyway.
