Home from the 2015 US Open. I really enjoyed the event again this year. Fortunately I have a dog that can tolerate the stress of air travel so I have the option of participating in an event such as this. The entries were down from last year, mainly because of Cynosport being held on this side of the country. Guessing that next year's entries ( Read more... )

sooooo QUIET there! wow... Like agility in a vacuum. Interesting.

Man, that course with the three tunnels back to back.. That looks nasty.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. But yeah, you should have at LEAST 24 hours to re-coup and get adjusted to traveling and time.. At least.

Yes, should have known better. Waking up early to drive to ATL for a 7 am flight was even crazier.

I enjoyed watching the live stream/VOD of this event just to see who would survive. Some of the courses seemed a bit over the top hard and I was glad I was not running them, but it was fun to watch others try. :-)

Greg and Laura actually rejected 3 of the 5 courses Lauren submitted because they were two difficult. All of the other judges had pretty reasonable courses.

Yikes, you did awesome! I would have had total suckage. Kinda hard to do any distance work :) :)

Be sure to leave Lucy here next year :) :)

Thanks. Sorry I forgot to tell you about the barking before meals.

7. Kona Video
We get Kona Video so it is pretty much the best event ever in my mind. She is spectacular. Perfectly spectacular.

It makes me laugh that you don't put yourself in the fast handler category, I can only think these other handlers are doping.

Here's the team I always stop to watch, the other being Dave Grubel and Boca who weren't present this year because Boca had a litter of puppies.

Bratska was competing at 22 inches at the US Open, they put down some phenomenal runs.

It's nice to see your to do list. Having never run in UKI, it's helpful to know what challenges I need to think about for Bueller.

Yes, completely different from AKC and USDAA.
