PNW Unbranded Fall Cup 2019
The Fall Cup is coming!
Join us on Saturday November 16, 2019 for this fun unsanctioned competitive event. Trophies, prizes, and awards, along with FUN are all up for grabs!
We are honored to have 2020 EO judge Jari Suomalainen designing the Fall Cup courses for us.
This year our format is a bit different. Prior to the Cup rounds, two “speedstakes” rounds are available.
The Fall Cup this year will consist of Jumping, Agility and Final rounds. The Final round will be an agility round, and trophies and placements will be based on the results of that round.
Please see the Premium for more information!

Some weave things
Made these up for a friend yesterday, thought I’d share. Dog’s natural path increasingly takes them past the weave pole entrance, and handler motion should be added to add to the challenge. From top left, clockwise for increasing difficulty.
Randomness
Less FB is definitely better. Today I’m not getting a lot of traction on anything and have wasted some of my life on FB. It confirms it’s a good thing to walk away from for me, as my old friend “moderation” continues not to actually be a friend at all.
Last weekend was Bay Team’s Western Regional. A fantastic show, as it always is. All my favorite things. Challenging courses. GRASS. Sun. Probably a bit too much sun, as I was aglow by the end of Friday and that wasn’t even a competition day.
Ten and Rave were entered and they did pretty well. Where there were errors they were, of course, mine.
This show marks the close of our season for the most part. The awkward bit, as with AKC, is that Nationals will mark the beginning of our next season. Tough for me to figure out the periodization for that, and if I decide to throw in EO tryouts . . . ugh. When will the time off happen? I wish we could cluster all of the big events, except that of course I don’t.
In any case, I should probably be focusing on fitness for dogs and myself for the lead in to USDAA Nationals.
Day two of no FB. I may spontaneously combust. How sad! Perhaps this is why I was bloggier in the past than I am now.
