The judge was Philipp Cottet from Switzerland.

We started the weekend in the best possible way. The course was not perfect but we ended with just one refusal. This allowed us to step onto the podium in third place.

I recalled her way too weakly after the long jump and she carried her speed into the wrong jump. I am still really happy, especially with the weave pole, she understood me perfectly.

That Sunday was colder than Saturday, I am not a morning person and I also did not get a good night of sleep or my morning hot shower. I could feel my muscles being cold, regardless of my usual warm up. In a nutshell: I was not feeling great.
But the show must go on!

The judge was Steffi Hundt from Switzerland.

I showed her several obstacles really poorly, and she saved me at least twice before my mistakes finally got us disqualified. I couldn’t run properly and was late many times.

On top of everything else, a new layer of difficulty was added for this run: dogs were constantly barking around the ring, and it was really hard for me to focus.
We had a really poor performance.

Yennefer

While Kaïa was running, Yennefer was an adorable little demon.

A competition for Saint Nicholas Day. It is also the last competition of the year, sadly.

The judge was Rolli Schiltz from Luxembourg.

Choosing the wrong option after the seesaw got us eliminated.

She missed a tight turn, went way too wide, and took the wrong tunnel.

The judge was Marcel Schlür from Germany.

Really fun jumping course. Too bad we got eliminated at the start. She took the tunnel after the first jump, and I restarted. It is not on the video.

Agility was great, but I just stood there, watching my dog do the weave poles instead of running past her. She took the A-frame because I was late.

The judge was Laura Grosser from Germany.

Almost. I misjudged the tire and did not fix Kaïa’s running line. She landed right in front of the tunnel and took it.

We did really well until the weave pole. I do not think this option was the best, but I wanted to try. She is not at her best with weave pole entries and I wanted to help her.
After that we failed to avoid several other traps. Not our best run.

The judge (trainee) was Holger Heilmann from Germany.

I do not know how we finished the jumping with only 2 faults. We got second place, and only 2 dogs out of 7 in intermediate managed to finish the course.

I badly showed the “out,” she didn’t execute, and that was it :(. I didn’t know how to handle the weave pole properly, and neither did many others. Almost everyone had their dog climbing the seesaw.

The judge was Laura Grosser from Germany.

Very difficult agility, but the lack of training on the weave pole showed again.

This jumping course was really not to my taste. The start was complicated: the walls are hard to manage, especially if the dog isn’t right in front of them. Many failed there.
Later, the weave pole was catastrophically placed. Each time Kaïa weaved, a tunnel entry called her. It was also hard for me to negotiate. She doesn’t like it when I change sides at the weave pole, and she lacks training on it.
Other than that, I’m pretty happy with the rest of the course; it was nice aside from the two bars on the ground.
