Kohl slows down ... again

Kohl and Stephen were joined by Sky and myself at the American Manchester Terrier Club Agility Trial at Argus Ranch last Saturday (April 17th). Kohl was entered in FAST Open Preferred, Standard Excellent A Preferred and Jumpers Excellent A Preferred.
In the first class, FAST Open, they were doing a really good job until Kohl went through the compulsory shute in the wrong direction which prevented him from qualifying. Sky's turn was next in FAST Novice B, he exceeded all expectations and came second in the class. He and I left once he had competed leaving Stephen and Kohl to complete their last two runs. Kohl had a clean standard excellent A preferred run but was 8 seconds over time which meant that they didn't qualify. Their final class was so late in the day that Stephen decided to come home early (there were a record 700 entries).
The next day (Sun April 18th) Stephen and Kohl travelled back to Argus for their second day of competition. There was no FAST class on Sunday so they just competed in std and jumpers. Kohl did well in Standard Excellent A Preferred, was only 1 second over time which gave him a score of 97 and second place. Apparently they were going at a good pace in jumpers when Kohl popped out of the weaves which prevented them from qualifying.
Each dog gained one qualifying score and a second place ribbon this weekend ... CONGRATULATONS to Sky, Kohl and of course Stephen!
