I haven't really been in a rush to trial Ditto, but she was 18 months at the end of Sept & it seems she is more ready to trial than any of my other dogs were when I started them!
I took her to Edmonton last weekend to see how she would handle it. She'd never stayed in a hotel before, we were trialing at a new venue & all her siblings were left behind - it was just Ditto & mom. Well, she thought hotel life was great, she didn't miss the other dogs, & she was confident but sassy at the trial.
She ran fast, held her contacts and startlines & listened to me (most of the time)!
She just ran a couple of runs each day so Saturday she ran gamblers & standard & Q'd them both! There were a few "moments" in each run, but no faults incurred.
Sunday was team (spectacular teeter fly off) & steeplechase (missed a jump - totally my fault) and a jumpers. For such a rookie she did awesome! I'm so looking forward to more trials with my little spitfire!
She's also making her scent hurdle debut very soon!

We are happy to read that Ditto was able to get ready for the show. It sounds like you had such a wonderful time. Hopefully, the next show will be pawsome too. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.
