I am delighted ato share that Yankee (at just 2 1/2 years old) earned another Excellent FAST leg this weekend with a 1st place and also a Master Excellent Jumpers leg with a 2nd place! FAST ("Fifteen And Send plus Time") is the latest AKC agility titling game. There are 15 obstacles worth from 1-10 points. Although there is no designated "course, there is one section (the "Send") where there are 3 obstacles and a line on the ground. In Excellent, the line is 15-20 feet away from the entrance of the obstacles and the dog must perform the obstacles in the set order while the handler stays behind the line. To qualify in Exellent, we had to accumulate a minimum of 60 points including the "Send" in 32 seconds. Yankee did AWESOME the last 2 weekends, earning 2 Excellent FAST legs in 2 weekends! To earn an MXJ (Masters Excellent Jumpers with Weaves) legs, the dog must be competing in Excellent B and have a perfect score of 100. I am VERY proud that Yankee earned his 2nd MXJ leg today. I am also very proud of Yankee's mom, Cassie. Yesterday she earned a TRIPLE Q....qualified in all 3 classes in which she was entered (Standard, Jumpers, and FAST), and earned FIRST place in all 3 classes.
